Mostly because the protagonist, Alex, is a likeable guy, and while the plot is standard the execution is excellent. No stupid endings with people spinning around and fountains of blood spraying in every direction in this film, folks! Alex's powers are much more subtle than that. I might rate this film with the third quarter of Twilight Zone- The Movie for most unsettling ending. And George Wendt (from Cheers) is marvelous as a ...but that would be spoiling it. On my scale, a should-see. (By the way, my recommendations assume you like to see movies and your only cost in doing so is five bucks and two hours. If you only see one movie a year, or have to hire babysitters/ drive to the city/take the kids along, adjust accordingly. Thank you.) Speaking of kids, this movie deserves its PG-13 rating. Especially don't take anyone whose dreams are influenced by movies. Carl ..!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
