Quotes:

[first lines]
Sandra Larson: When you die, your life... flashes, and you disintegrate, radiating energy. When a thing turns into its opposite, when love becomes hate, there are always sparks. But when life turns into death, it's explosive. There are streaks of light, magical, and electrifying...

great!

This movie is by far the most beautiful movie I have ever seen to date. If you like dark or Gothic movies, this is for you!

The acting and story line is brilliant. I thought about this movie for weeks after I watched It.

I like things like Six Feet Under, and morgue movies & TV shows. This film was excellent. How someone can be so fixated on one thing, makes it so beautiful.

I might be sick to enjoy it by reading what the other persons comment said but it's not sick. These things do happen and this storyline is really interesting. Okay so you may not want see or hear about sleeping with corpses but if you look past that, you'll see the real beauty of the movie.

I recommend this movie. You will not be disappointed!
