Favorite Quote
"It's you who possesses me." - Edward to Eliza
I liked this movie. It's probably due to my propensity towards Edgar Allan Poe and movies with explosions. Granted, there weren't many explosions in the film, actually I think there was only one, but still... things caught on fire and burned (no, I am not a pyromaniac).
The acting was pretty good and I really liked Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Silas Lamb. I do wish that they had given more attention to Michael Caine's character and his relationship with Silas. They delved into it a bit, but I think the film would have benefited from a bit more exposition in that area.
Of course, there were the thriller / horror aspects of the movie that, if you know me, you know is right down my alley. The production quality was sufficiently dark and definitely provided the correct 'feel' of the film.
I recommend this to those of you who like Poe type movies.
