A likable guy pursues his office crush with the help of his evil talking pets, but things turn sinister when she stands him up for a date. Horror Titles on Amazon Video. He plays Jerry like the clean-cut, boy next door but it isn't before long that he shows a nervousness and social dysfunction with sadness and anger eventually culminating into a brooding danger. That's before we even get to the fact that he provides the voices to his pets which add a lot of welcome humour.

His dog Bosco is an adorable docile support to him, while his cat, Mr. Whiskers is a malevolent manipulator. At first, it seems that Reynolds doing the voices of the animals is nothing more than a gimmick but there's a moment within the film where the cracks of his character appear and the voices shift from being a gimmick to a being an essential part of the plot. It makes perfect sense and transpires to be a very clever decision.

Their voices could have been provided by someone else but the fact that it's Reynolds adds a very important element to the film. Despite the macabre material, though, the film is also genuinely hilarious at times and Satrapi also uses many flamboyant touches to bring a really colourful palette to its darkness. It possesses the type of humour that wouldn't be out of place in the hands of the Coen brothers while also managing to deliver on the more twisted elements that they are known for.

This is a film that could quite easily fall prey to being tonally uneven but the script is really sharp and Satrapi's handling of the different tones are near seamless. It's an ambitious gamble from the director but it's one that she manages to pull off. What could have been an inconsistent mess turns out to be a very clever and surprisingly astute depiction of mental health and the psychological motivations behind a disturbed schizophrenic.

It is a rare find to see a film that works so tonally well trying to be simultaneously hilarious, charming, surreal and gruesome, forcing us to share its character's insanity and the disturbing nuances of his illness and thus becoming a tragic and horrifying experience in the end. Hilariously twisted, The Voices is an insanely funny dark comedy. The story follows a factory worker named Jerry who's a delusional schizophrenic that hears voices, and after accidentally killing a co-worker he starts to question his sanity with the help of his dog and his cat.

Starring Ryan Reynolds, Gemma Arterton, and Anna Kendrick, the casting is pretty good; Reynolds in particular gives an amazing performance.

And, the script does an excellent job at showing Jerry's inner struggle with his different personalities. The comedy is also remarkably well-done, and brings some levity to the murder and mayhem of the film.

However, at times things get a little too silly and the tone becomes uneven. Still, while The Voices may have its issues, overall it's incredibly entertaining and a lot of fun.
