4/10
Interesting concept destroyed by bad CGI.
3 March 2009
"The Deaths of Ian Stone" tells the story of an unfortunate young hockey player,who mysteriously encounters a creature late one night and then is thrown into the path of an oncoming train.The next day,he wakes up like nothing even happened,but in a different corporate life.He's quickly murdered again by supernatural presence.It turns out the creatures are Harvesters,beings that live on the fear and pain that humans associate with dying."The Deaths of Ian Stone" plays like an uneven mix of "Matrix","Groundhog Day" and "Jacob's Ladder".The script offers few surprises and a lot of annoying CGI-effects.The premise is certainly fresh,but the lack of suspense is hard to forgive.There is only a little bit of gore and the climax is downright stupid.I'm fed up with modern horror films that try to scare me with laughable CGI-creatures.Unfortunately "The Deaths of Ian Stone" suffers too much from obnoxious computer generated imagery.4 out of 10.
