I usually don't write bad reviews, only positive ones, but...DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!! It is deeply disturbing and I feel like whoever wrote it needs some serious help. It was an unfunny, gruesome, dark, twisted, poorly written, disturbing steaming pile of garbage. There was an extreme lack of character development. The acting was awful. The writing was attempting to be funny, but was instead just deeply disturbing. The plot was all over the place. The sets made no sense. It was a random hodgepodge of disturbing and borderline demonic scenes that were in no way relatable and included no deep underlying messages. I am honestly ashamed that I watched the entire length of this film. It's sick, it's demonic, it's bad. Don't watch it. -1/10 Stars. Never again.

The Voices is an expertly crafted film with a powerhouse performance by Ryan Reynolds and a great balance between good and evil, depression and happiness, and comedy and thriller. I love when he takes the pills for the first time and sees things the way they really are even though he and the audience only saw the ideal picture keeping the gore to a minimum until we see what other people see. And how the happy moments for the character actually seem happy and the depressing moments are just sad. Please watch this film for a morbidly funny, creative, and well acted time. But note that it's not for the people who can't take extreme depression and violence in their movies. 10/10

I love a good dark comedy and so I was on board when I read the premise of Ryan Reynolds talking to his cat and dog about whether or not to be a serial killer. The premise works best as a dark comedy but the movie gets really depressing as it goes a lot into the character's actual suffering with schizophrenia. It becomes at different times a drama, a grisly horror film, and a cartoony surreal fantasy. I don't know. This is a really hard sell. I guess I can appreciate it's honesty in actually acknowledging schizophrenia and mental health problems but then they've sort of shot themselves in the foot as it cannot work then as a dark comedy. I don't want to laugh at schizophrenic hallucinations being portrayed as a cartoon in one scene and then seeing Reynolds with his therapist in agony in another. I think what the film should have done is start off with the comedic effect and then have it wear off as it goes into the seriousness of the situation. It doesn't. The film ends with a big dance number where Reynolds dances with Jesus and his victims.

A sick movie about a man that has a illness to talk to animals and stuff. he takes medicine to help to overcome this & when he doesn't take the regular dosage of medicine he mistakenly kills a girl he likes in his mind he can talk to the head without the body but if he takes the medicine he's ended up with the real fact of a dead woman's head.. yuck. it truly disgusting but can enjoy the movie in the serial killers mind way of seeing things.
