I've just watched a pretty decent horror/thriller distributed by Sam Raimi.
Our heroine is about to jump off a cliff when a stranger appears and starts chatting with her.
He doesn't tell her not to jump, he just shares some of his life's woes with her then leaves. She changes her mind.
I don't want to give too much of the story away but a serial killer gets involved, paralyses her with an injection and that's most of the movie.
Watching as a viewer though, I couldn't help but start to feel sorry for the bad guy. He has so much bad luck whilst trying to be evil that it almost became a comedy film and I started feeling sorry for him instead of his victim. A bit like when you're watching a Road Runner cartoon: you know Wyle E Coyote's the bad guy for chasing Roadrunner but all the bad breaks that Coyote gets makes you laugh.
The film was released last year under Raimi Productions.
