THE VOICES


This movie has so many moments of lunacy in it that it was impossible to dislike.

The story of a mentally ill man who hears voices most prominently his dog (playing the angel role) and his cat (playing the devil role) and commits murderous mayhem was comedic at times and a horror film at other times.   The juxtaposition between the humor and the darkness was awkward at time but overall it worked. Some aspects of the main character's mental state and decisions he made were left to the audience's judgment but there's nothing wrong with that IMO. 

Never cared for Ryan Reynolds, never took him seriously but I'll give him some credit for doing a film like this.

Filled with WTF moments especially that musical number at the end with Jesus - literally WTF.

An original and entertaining and crazy film that overall successfully spanned different genres and moods.
