Audience Member A very peculiar film, very much a 2 hander between a typically arch and snitty Alan Cumming as homosexual music teacher John and an immensely brave David Boreanaz as Sebastian, a broke aspiring writer he takes in, hoping to bed. From an awkwardly mannered stiff upper lip drama, it abruptly shifts to a grand guignol black comedy, with a lingeried Boreanaz tied up with Christmas lights. It's not a sight I want to see again, but is a superb, committed piece of work. The ghost writer plot and other characters, including Carrie Fisher's reporter, Henry Thomas's star musician and Anne Heche's gorgeous publisher, are secondary to the central pair. It's stagy, too quirky for it's own good, but the performances make it worth a watch. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Well, what can I say. Apart from a crazy Boreanaz this movie was absolute rubbish. Although Alan Cumming's played a gay snob to perfection. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member When a music teacher takes in a struggling writer as a house guest, he soon finds out that his charity is taken for granted, and things come to an explosive end. This is a pleasant, but odd little film that really doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It starts off feeling like a drama, then changes into black comedy, then changes into a ghost story, and finishes up being a drama again. It is also feels very drawn out, and just when it starts to get really interesting, it ends, which just left me feeling a little confused to what it was trying to achieve. The small cast all act their roles very well, with Alan Cumming being at his best over the top. But David Boreanaz has the best part that really shows off his comedic talents. You may want to catch this movie just for the black comedy sequences, which are quite amusing, but it is not the horror film that the Horror Channel led me to believe it would be. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the worst movie. Seriously? Who funded it? It is about a composer with a history of "giving boarding" to young struggling artists. . . Then, he becomes a sadist. Not worth the 1.5 hours. If there is a comedic element, it is the unexpected plot twist in the last 30 minutes. Unfortunately, it wasn't funny. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member this black comedy is just ok and frankly not that funny at all an all star cast pretty much gets wasted here. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was horrible, and so far from anything I would ever call a comedy! Don't waste your time with this one...not even because David Boreanaz is in it. So not worth it! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
