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

"The Voices" is an odd horror-comedy type thing that isn't scary or funny or thrilling or much of anything. It's the fairly typical story about a boy-next-door who is also a mentally unstable killer. He has a crush on a beautiful office employee, played by Gemma Arterton, though another employee - Anna Kendrick - has a crush on him. His pets talk to him - a dog and a cat - and his psychiatrist, played by legendary Australian actress Jacki Weaver, has prescribed him antipsychotic medication that he refuses to take.You know that somebody's going to get killed, and then someone will find out who killed who and also get killed, and the body count will rise. The movie takes an ironic, light-hearted tone in regards to this activity; it's not a horror movie or even a thriller, really. It's also not funny at all, unless you think the sight of a talking dog and cat is amusing by default. The cat swears a fair bit, so some people might be amused by that, I guess.What is uncomfortable and unnecessary is that the movie adds a troubling backstory for the Ryan Reynolds character which doesn't fit at all with the silly tone of the movie. This is an explanation for his insanity that would fit in a gritty true-crime pic, not a deliberately ridiculous horror-comedy.The climax is also just not that interesting. It's quite predictable, like the rest of the movie, and I think they should have added something unexpected or interesting in there - aside from the awful song-and-dance number over the end credits.I'm not really sure what the makers of "The Voices" wanted to achieve with this movie. It gives the impression that they didn't know how to handle the light-hearted tone, or what the purpose of such a tone in a story like this is. The tone needs to clash with the content, but here they're both flat, they lie down and die, which is almost what the movie made me feel like doing.

How have reviewers rated this 1,2, or 3 stars? OMG, The Voices is 10's across the board, all day long. It is a movie about a serial-killer, but it is not dark or brooding for the most part, it is colourful and cheery, it is full of pink and fluffiness, it has a "talking cat, dog, goldfish, and another, it is full of happiness and light, so much so that you could think that I was talking about a film of a man finishing off his breakfast, but no, we are not talking about a cereal-killer here! There are many ways this film stands out from the rest, from its story to its direction, to its, well, everything before it. The performances of Reynolds, Arterton and Kendrick are all fantastic, but the film is made possible by the furry ones, and Reynolds' ability to diversify his voice, and make it believable. THIS IS A 10/10 FILM, no question, watch it, it will be the first movie about a serial-killer to leave you feeling all warm and fluffy inside!

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.
