Similar to a comic book from 2000


Just finished watching this and really wasn't a fan, but it did remind me of a fantastic comic book series J. Michael Straczynski wrote back in 2000 called "Midnight Nation." It was a 12-issue series and it's been collected as a graphic novel as well.

While I wouldn't assert that this movie stole its story from that series because there are already a bunch of other quasi-purgatory movies (Jacob's Ladder, The Serpent and the Rainbow, The Jacket, Carnival of Souls), the idea of the soul-eaters made me think of "Midnight Nation" specifically. I would urge anyone who saw this movie to check out that series to see a similar story done in a much better way (in my eyes, anyway).

Here it is on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Straczynskis-Midnight-Nation-Vol/dp/1582 404607/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355438480&sr=8-1&keywords=M idnight+Nation
