“This is a suspenseful and well-told story. It will keep your attention. The photography is great! The characters are all eccentric and perhaps I could say they are weird. It goes from the good to the very evil, and at midnight there is an offering at the cemetery by Minerva: for the evil and for the good. It dwells into the occult and is full of grey areas. It is definitely a reflection of our society and the city is also a little too evil. I thought it to be suspenseful but I did not feel comfortable watching it. It is too weird, but by the same token so is the world we live in.
"I keep spacing out on the dates that I watch these.

Love Kevin Spacey, as usual. An I liked Cusack too, for once. This wasn't a riveting, mind bending movie in the least, but I liked it. I just sat back and enjoyed the ride, and it was like getting a front row seat into these people's private lives. Casual, interesting."
"Everyone should watch this movie. Some say it's slow, but I've never noticed. Great haunting music and interesting story.
Plot: A visiting city reporter's assignment suddenly revolves around the murder trial of a local millionaire, whom he befriends.
Location: Savannah, Georgia

"It's like my mom always said: 'Two tears in a bucket, motherf*ck it'."
"This place is fantastic. It's like Gone With the Wind on Mescalin. I know you're my agent. Listen to me, they walk imaginary pets"
