I'm confused. Several other reviewers have written fawningly of how great the plot concept of this movie is. Say what? Yes, several cultures have a "ferryman mythos", wherein souls are ferried across a river in return for a coin or piece of gold. But this movie has nothing whatsoever to do with that mythic element. Instead, this "Ferryman" apparently just takes over the bodies of others in order to avoid having to be ferried at all.
The idea of a basically immortal entity taking over other bodies in order to survive for centuries is simply too old of a plot element to be worth noting. This movie fails on several levels...one of which is an absolute lack of originality.
Other than that...the acting is bad, the dialogue is absurd, and there is no tension or suspense.
Not worth renting.
