[DVD] The Frighteners - Director's Cut

It's not so much this film I'm interested in discussing, but rather one character in particular:

FBI Special Agent Milton Dammers, as played by Jeffrey Combs.

This dude has to be the singlemost twisted character I've seen in a film in a long time. Combs has a particular style of acting, contorting, and emoting that channels Jim Carrey; in fact, Combs is the most Carrey-looking non-Jim Carrey individual ever.

His main hook is that he's an agent that's infiltrated cults and sects to bring them to justice. To say that his job's left it's mark on his psyche would be a gross miscarriage of observation.

It's probably at best a 2 1/2 count film; however, Dammers makes it well worth it with each second he's on the screen. A weird, creeped-out little fucker if ever there was.
