The worst reenactment of a dead body on film

It was like they didn't even bother putting any effort into it. It was a doll. And the worst fake body I think I've ever seen in a movie. For the moving having some pretty well known actors, I'm surprised they went with something so cheap. I guess they spent all of their budget on the actors salaries. I give the actors credit for continuing to keep a straight face and stay in character while trying to carry around and interact with this dummy/doll.

I agree! very bad work from the effects department. and its not exactly an old movie where you'd expect the effects to be crap, but it was made in 2000!!! i dont remember seeing a dead body with rigor mortis set in in a movie before, cant think of any now, but in fairness, they could have done a better job!!! i also wondered how the actors actually managed to even act so well with an obviously fake doll ???!!!

They had to be very focused and in the moment to pull that off!

I know. I was trying not to crack up with laughter during that whole scene. The hair wasn't even the right color, and the thing looked so plasticy, it was ridiculous! I couldn't believe they did that.
