I have a special fondness for this as it was my first time seeing Callum on the big screen. And apart from the (wide) hotness, I remember being surprised to see him that much!
I liked the photography, and appreciated that it was not your standard teenager ghost movie. I agree with you it could have been much better, specially if Larson's character had been more developed. In the comment, the scenarist alludes to this being the case in the original movie *sigh*. On the other hand, she or Gover also say that the scenes with Larson are important as a marker of the time going by - so we're lucky that they had him as a clockwork or metronome cause otherwise we may have seen even less of him.
I knew Annie when she was just a baby. She liked my ties. This and the blue shirt scream Murder Scene to me. But then I might have watched it a tad too much recently!
Poll! angsty poll! enough angst to your taste in the movie? : )
I loved omphale23's Personal History and wish there were more fic about Larson. Doesn't seem we'll get any in that LJ community /o\
This part was not a stretch for him in any way and gave him no real opportunity to stretch his acting muscles. That's absolutely true and I would have loved to see more of him, but I like his acting here, all restrained, not letting out much, all in very small nuances. Aside from leaning on everything of which he never does too much, I liked the soberness. And he plays a good guy!
Your post was a good incentive to rewatch the movie, thanks!
