My first film in Horror 2023 watching is The Voices. I didn't know much about the film, other than that it starred Ryan Reynolds. The Voices follows Jerry (played by Reynolds). Jerry works in packing in a small town. He appears to be a nice guy, who does well at the tasks he's given. But Jerry holds a secret. He's a mentally unstable man, who at home has conversations with his dog and cat.
To call The Voices a horror would be an extreme stretch. And that's one of the big underlying issues with this film, it doesn't know what it wants to be. The horror elements are completed muted, it's not quite funny enough to be a comedy, nor does it tick the black comedy boxes. The Voices is just an uncertain film in general. Aside from the performances from Reynolds and Gemma Arterton (who is having a blast as an over the top British character), the film doesn't contain much substance.
