A couple of years ago, Will (Taylor Girard) has lost pretty much
everything to his addiction, including his job, his family, his home, and
he has lived the life of a bum since. But then something happens, he's
struck by lightning - and while this doesn't leave any physical damage to
speak of, it does change him: On the plus side, he suddenly has complex
talents he has never acquired, like he's able to play the piano like a
concert pianist, and he can fix laptops with the crudest of tools. On the
negative side though, he starts to see ghost-like people nobody else can
see, and they freak him out, to say the least. Anyways, totally against
expectations, Will is offered a job as a party pianist by some rich guy by
the name of Donovan (George Vricos), and the change also gives Will the
courage to try and make up with his wife Carrie (Rebecca Hope), who after
initial reservations lets him into her home and heart, and the two fall in
love all over again. Life could be happy - if it wasn't for these strange
apparitions Will continues to encounter, and the couple's attempts to get
to the bottom of things leads to nowhere. And then there's of course still
the party Will has to play at, and it's no wonder things come to a head
right then and there ... Now here's a clever little movie, one
that seamlessly weaves together elements of a ghost story, a conspiracy
thriller and a psycho drama without ever losing its story in the process,
and yet succeeding in keeping the audience surprised throughout. And of
course, a competent cast, and a directorial effort that gives its actors
and story enough room to breathe only help to bring the movie's point
across and keep the audience involved in the story and guessing what might
happen next. Worth a watch for sure.
