Canadian-lensed remake of what I assume was originally an Asian thriller, about a woman whose loving husband and brutish brother in law end up in comas after a car accident. The husband remains in a coma, while the brother in law eventually comes to, claiming to be his brother and husband of the distraught woman. He seems to know many intimate details about her married life so that she eventually accepts him as her husband, with his soul transferred (the same plot was used on "Ghost Whisperer"). From there, it's all downhill. Is this a supernatural thriller? The answer is no, based on the cut and dried ending. It's certainly suspenseful part of the way, but it is too easy to guess the ending based on various clues thrown at us during the story This is Gellar's film all the way, with able support from Lee Pace as the brother in law. It's perfect for a quiet Saturday night. Just don't expect too much.
