really expecting something else...?

I thought the trailer was great...I thought the limp bizkit music video was great (well, the concept was great)...but I did not care for the movie that much.
I really expected something different..I guess I thought it was about someone who was a doctor then was a mental patient and there would be a whole other twist...like she didnt kill her husband or that he wasnt really dead...I thought RDJ was like an investigator or something, haha and no ghosts involved...I wasnt expecting any supernatural things. I thought the ending would have her be back in the institution or she'd be free.

One thing I dont get are those random lines about the affair...it didnt seem at all halle wanted anything to do with RDJ. While I think he's a great actor, his voice in this film sounded like a newscaster -- or maybe he's very nerdy sounding, in general, haha. pretty cool guy, though, in general :D

I also didnt understand the end...it seemed pretty creepy that she can see ghosts..but in a way, she has a gift of seeing the supernatural and helping others.

thanks!

She sees a ghost at the end, but the camera pans and you see a picture of the boy on the pole. She saw the picture and her subconscious made the entire thing up. She is insane, and there was nothing supernatural in the movie.
