Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is an affable loner whose hangs out at his flat above a disused bowling alley chatting to his pet cat, Mr. Whiskers, and loyal dog Bosco – whose voices he hears. Eager to socialise, Jerry asks Fiona from accounts. (Gemma Arterton) out on a date, but when she stands him up he later accidentally stabs her to death, repeatedly, in the woods. Hastily covering his tracks, under the strict advice his subversive cat Mr. Whiskers, Jerry is now beyond the reach of his well-meaning psychiatrist Dr. Warren (Jacki Weaver) and things are looking bad for Lisa (Anna Kendrick) who has taken a shine to him. Despite Bosco trying to keep him on the straight and narrow, Mr. Whiskers is the loudest voice in Jerry's head and all he can hope for is salvation. 2015 Arrow Films

It's marketed as a tongue in cheek black comedy about a man urged to do things against his will by his pets, but in reality it's a chilling and brutal commentary on mental health and the constant failure of the state to recognise and help the people that need it. It's much gorier and more psychologically distressing than it's made out to be in the trailer. There are a couple of funny moments, but mostly it's very abstract humour. The concept is fresh, but was stuck between two approaches.

That's right, we actually get a movie with an original concept here in 2015! Usually nowadays we just get superhero flicks and remakes. Well not in the case of The Voices, which is a sort of black comedy which takes a look at serial killers in a very unique way. I truly recommend for people, who want something new, to see this movie. And the performances of Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick and Gemma Arterton are great too, and Reynolds gets a great chance to practice being crazy for his role of Deadpool next year.

A Horror movie about a serial killer who has Schizophrenia, kills lots of women and tries to be funny by talking to a cat and dog. At the end he goes to heaven and you get a few minutes of a badly produced music video. It tries to be funny and a re-enactment of Scream. Stupid, unwitty and the only thing that keeps this movie from dropping below the pass rating is the fact it has a plot line and Ryan Reynolds trying to be a weirdo when really he could be making better films.
