Review
Megan Voorhees is possessed and two priests, Father McFeely and Father Harris, must drive the demon out, but the exorcism doesn't go as planned. A year later, survivors Cindy Campbell, Ray Wilkins, and Shorty and Brenda Meeks, are at college, trying to forget the incidents that occurred last Halloween. Cindy is falling for Buddy, who loves to give wedgies, and Ray is still confused about his sexuality. Professor Oldman and his paralyzed assistant, Dwight, have decided to do a research study at Hell House, the house where the bad exorcism took place, and disguise it as a sleep disorder study. Chaos starts as soon as Cindy arrives and meets the creepy caretaker with the funny hand. But the house has some deep dark secrets that the group has to solve, even if they are scary or disgusting.

While living an an average family house in a pleasant neighborhood, the youngest daughter of the Freeling family, Carol Anne, seems to be connecting with the supernatural through a dead channel on the television. It is not for long when the mysterious beings enter the house's walls. At first seeming like harmless ghosts, they play tricks and amuse the family, but they take a nasty turn- they horrify the family to death with angry trees and murderous dolls, and finally abduct Carol Anne into her bedroom closet, which seems like the entrance to the other side.

The Butterfly Effect 1
Review
Evan is having a troubled childhood. His father is in a mental institution, his friends Kayleigh and Tommy have an abusive father (Eric Stoltz) at home. Tommy is growing increasingly dangerous and aggressive. Moreover, Evan is having serious blackouts where he can’t remember what happened, what he was doing and why. A psychiatrist suggests he keeps a diary as it might help him remember.
As they grow up and Kayleigh and Evan develop feelings for each other and this gets Tommy even more out of control. One day, along with their other friend Lenny, they take a dynamite they find in Kayleigh & Tommy’s father’s house and decide to pull a prank. The prank results in a tragedy that Evan can’t remember. Evan’s mother (Melora Walters) eventually decides to take Evan and move away. Evan promises to come back for Kayleigh.
Years later, Evan (Ashton Kutcher) is a successful psychology major and getting along marvelously with his gothic roommate (Ethan Suplee). Moreover he hasn’t had a blackout in years. But one coincidence gets him to think about what happened all those years ago and he tracks Kayleigh (Amy Smart) down. This ends in another disaster, which Evan will do anything to prevent. After all, he has found a way to go back in time and change things. But every time he changes one thing to help matters, things end up horribly for at least one of them…
This is one complicated, weird and interesting movie. Even though it has some funny moments, it is mostly depressing and dark. But it is also very exciting and thought- provoking. I saw it for the second time last night (the first time was years ago when it hit the theaters) and I realized I wasn’t as hooked as I was before. But it’s because this time I knew each twist and turn. Still, it was interesting to go through the story again.
You can argue a lot of plot holes but I suggest you don’t look for them. Because this movie has sci- fi elements, looking for extreme logic and reality will be pointless. Stay away from this movie at all costs if you want something light and uplifting. But if you want something different, this is what you have been looking for.
Rated 7.8 on IMDB, voted by nearly 100.000 people. I’ll give it a solid 8. It will probably remain as the darkest and most original thing Ashton Kutcher will ever be a part of. I wish he finds more projects like these and less romantic comedies. As much I enjoy good romcoms, they are dime a dozen. The Butterfly Effect? Not so much. Written and directed by Eric Bress and J. Mackye Gruber. Grown-up Lenny is played by Elden Henson and Tommy by William Lee Scott.
