The Deaths of Ian Stone (2007)

"The Deaths of Ian Stone" is a horror film that feels partially like "The Butterfly Effect" meets "Quantum Leap". The main character, Ian Stone, is killed over and over and comes back to life as a different person who is surrounded by familiar faces from his previous lives. It's an interesting concept and when it's revealed why he keeps being killed, the viewer has a nice "Aha" moment. What makes this different that either "The Butterfly Effect" or "Quantum Leap" is that Ian is perfectly settled in his new life as if he has always lived it and it's only after he begins to remember his other lives does he fall into danger of being killed again by the shadowy demons known as the Harvesters. Why the Harvesters keep killing Ian is at the base of the story and the mystery that he must solve before they kill his reoccurring love interest Jenny. The special effects for these ghostly creatures is fun to watch even though they are mostly CGI based. The most has some decent scares and only a fair amount of violence and gore, so this is a perfect film for the casual horror film watcher.
