I honestly don't understand why there are so many negative opinions about this film out there. It is an honest supernatural thriller/horror, accused of having an incomprehensible plot, in reality, it is simply not banal. It's enough to follow the story, I don't think you need drawings to understand basic concepts. With a modicum of patience, what may be missed will slowly be revealed, explaining any message that may have seemed veiled. The beginning promises really well, an interesting and quite disturbing idea, then, at a certain point, it veers into an unexpected mystical and religious turn, which in itself wouldn't have been bad, but could have been handled better. (The numerous ghostly incursions don't add much, except once or twice. They seem more like an effort to scare, which ends up being just disturbing.)

The peaceful existence of Abe Dale (played by the excellent Nathan Fillion) is ruined by a traumatic event. A deranged man kills his wife and son and takes his own life before his eyes. After some time, the man, desperate, makes an extreme gesture, driven by breathtaking suffering. He seems doomed, the classic tear-jerking scene follows in which he is about to reunite with his relatives, when the defibrillator completes his task, and drags him back into his valley of pain. Little by little, he discovers that that near-death experience has left him with paranormal powers. In the crowd, he sees people with an aura of light around them, and slowly understands that that glow has only one meaning: a journey of no return.

Lussier manages to maintain a good pace, and the film has a fair amount of tension and suspense. The performances of the actors are valid, especially that of the protagonist. Worthy of note is the splendid work done on the face of the murderer of Abe's family, who survived the shooting. It's not a masterpiece, I fully agree with this, but I've read terms such as "bullshit" or worse around, and I can say that those who write certain epithets have no idea what bullshit is (unfortunately I do).

Perhaps the biggest flaw is that of having put too many irons on the fire, and not having been able to mix all the ingredients perfectly. But, the result is not poor at all, perhaps even more could have been achieved, however, sometimes it is difficult to achieve an excellent product. More than enough without hesitation, certainly worth a viewing.
