A little late to the party, but just watched this last night. I loved the cinematography, long tracking shots, atmosphere and tone of the entire movie. It was different and engrossing, even with the minor letdown of an ending. But I can see why many people found it boring since its not a Marvel or a Fast/Furious flick.
I don't see the problem if he's portraying 2 different characters. It's not uncommon. A quick example that springs to mind is Joe Don Baker. He portrayed two major characters in 3 James Bond movies: (1) the villain in "The Living Daylights", and (2) a CIA agent in "GoldenEye" and "Tomorrow Never Dies".

If this sort of thing triggers you enough that your wife gets concerned, you might want to talk to someone.
Extraction 2: Back in Traction
No Kindle version.
It's a matter of economics. Ullman says that the single road leading thru the mountains up to the hotel is 25 miles long, and that the region receives 20 feet of snow each winter.
Danny is probably not the first psychic to visit the hotel. Grady the caretaker (and later a ghost waiter) went nuts 10 years earlier and killed his 2 young daughters. One or both of the daughters might also have been psychic, which prompted events that led to their eventual demise.
As soon as I encountered that locked door at the end of the tunnel, I would gotten an axe, chainsaw, or anything needed to take that door down. Someone is using that door and tunnel to illegally enter my house at their leisure! Maybe I’d give the State Police a heads-up first but nothing’s gonna stop me from taking out that door. I wouldn’t care whose house it led to. Everything else going on would have been reduced to a priority of zero.
The fact that the tunnel and door never gets investigated or even barely mentioned again is a huge error by the writer.
Do you have any guilty pleasures (movies you love that everyone else seems to dismiss/hate)? Serious question.
Humans are hard-wired to be angry when the world refuses to look and work the way they want it to.
<blockquote>If you experienced trauma, you are doomed and will end up killing yourself or hurting others. There is no hope for you, it seems to be saying.</blockquote>
Actually, this is basically true if you don't confront and deal with your trauma. It will eat you from the inside out. You'll feel no joy or true happiness in life. You'll just be going thru the motions. It will lead to depression and will infect your relationships (both family and romantic) causing even more trauma. You'll spiral.
Rose had years of opportunities to resolve and overcome the trauma of her mother's death by talking with her therapist. But, instead, she keeps avoiding the therapist (hanging up on her, not taking her calls, etc). At one point, right before receiving a call from the therapist, Rose actually sees an email indicating "last chance". She takes the call but then abruptly hangs up. She was now doomed.
