The David O'Reilly Character


i'm currently re-watching this on the sundance channel

i had originally seen it awhile back

the first time i'd seen it...it did creep me out...kept me on the edge of my seat....

but upon this second viewing...david o'reilly (the character...not the movie) has become incredibly annoying to me

has anyone else felt this way?

reply

In some scenes I feel he is annoying if only for his sheer volume of voice.
But then I realize he is just a guy at the end of his rope. His terror is understandable.



"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."

reply

His acting wasn't very compelling. Unless the point was that he was just out of touch with reality.

I felt the film was trying to keep the viewer guessing on this one.
Was David really nuts and/or having a breakdown? Or is he having a breakdown BECAUSE THE EVIL IS REAL?
