I just watched this movie last night, and overall it was a bit of a let down. I love Clive Owen, and I can say nothing bad about him in this movie, but there were a couple things (in my opinion) that really brought this movie down. If they had been "fixed" I think this movie could have been a lot better.
First, the "creature" in this movie, Hollowface, is basically a guy in a large hooded trench coat and boots, but for some reason they made him all CGI (and the CGI isn't that good). I don't understand why they couldn't use a real guy and just blackened out his face (the creature is faceless).
*Slight spoiler alert in this one*
Second issue, I think they tried to be way to smart in the plot twist. And for me "smart" just turned into complicated. At the end I was like....What!? They should have either kept him as an actual man for the whole movie, or an actual "creature" for the whole movie, but not both.
I will say though, there were a couple scenes I thought were done really well, good suspense and action. Probably my favorite scene is when Clive Owen's character first see's Hollowface. And the other scene I thought was good was the very beginning, the first 5 minutes or so.
Has anyone else seen this movie? What did you think?

No I didn't see it but it sounds interesting. So it's sort of a spooky movie? If it is, it's right up my alley.
I don't know who Clive Owen is so I'm going to have to research a little. There are so many new faces, new people, I can't keep up.
Is this a movie that just came out or is it a DVD? I haven't even heard of the movie at all...again, I need a life. I seem to be saying that a lot lately.

Yes, it had a bit of spookiness in it. The two scenes I mentioned are the best parts in my opinion. (My favorite scene is at 40 minutes into the movie, and the other one, like I said is about the first 5 minutes).
Clive Owen isn't really new. He's actually quite famous He's been in a lot of big movies; The Inside Man, Children of Men, King Arthur, Derailed (just to name a few). Haha
It is out on DVD, I don't think it ever came out in theaters (at least not where I am). It is available at Blockbuster.com. You can get a 6 month free trial of Blockbuster! I can send you a link if you'd like.

Yes he is!!! haha. If I had to recommend a few of his movies to you I would say you have to see Inside Man and Derailed, those are both really good movies. Denzel Washington is in Inside Man with him, and Jennifer Aniston is in Derailed! Lots of big stars.
