Ryan Reynolds in a horror movie


Something is slightly off with seeing Ryan Reynolds in a serious horror since he usually is in more comedic roles, almost kind of like Paul Rudd starring in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers. It works if a serious actor takes on a comedic role but it’s weird when a comedy actor takes on a serious role, unless the actor can transcend type like Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting.

I thought Reynolds' performance was okay, but his physique was ridiculous. George Lutz was a bear of a man. He didn't look like he was downing protein shakes and counting the carbs.
