Storyline

The family man Abe Dale is having lunch with his wife and son in a restaurant, when a man kills them in front of Abe and shoots himself in the mouth. A couple of days later, the grieving Abe misses his family and commits suicide ingesting many pills at home, but is rescued by his friend Marty Bloom and saved by the doctors. His Near Death Experience makes him see white light in some people and to hear Electronic Voice Phenomena, i.e., manifestations of voices of ghosts or spirits through static on electronic devices. Soon he discovers that the white light means that the person is going to die, and Abe saves three lives including his nurse Sherry Clarke. While watching a video recorded by his son, Abe finds that the killer had saved the lives of his wife and son three days before the murder. He investigates the incident and finds that when you save, you must kill; otherwise many innocents will die three days later.

Goofs

Biblical Greek is called "koine" Greek. It was the language of the marketplace throughout the Greco-Roman world. Depending on the case of the noun (assumed by adjectives as well), the words for "third day" are "trite hemera". "Mera" is a total corruption.

User Reviews

EVP, white light & lots of paranormal fun

" I See Dead people " :) What happens if you had the power to save people from their deaths , only to find your actions have caused a reaction, a reaction that multiplies in its effects? What if those that you saved were meant to die? There are some slow love scenes that I guess have to be in a film, but other then that the movie is pretty much in constant motion.

Nathan Fillion is a cool actor, his particular acting style is very refreshing, i think any other actor would have made this film into a dodgy 2nd hand horror film.Those that liked 'Serenity' will enjoy this movie.

This is an above average movie with good acting and a decent script.

Great way to spend a night in, just make sure you have a hubby next to you so as you don't get too scared.
