Movie #805 "Accidents Happen" was a very unusual film. Yes, it concerns a dysfunctional family dealing with grief, but that's not what is unusual --- the characters are all out of control, and it is tough to like a lot of them because they are all hiding something in order to get by in life. This film sure makes you think of the roll of the dice in your life --- it all stems from one awful car accident, and how that changes the lives of everyone in the family, and their neighbors, as well. I was left thinking about this film long after it was over.............still thinking about it. The genre below says dark humor --- I agree with the dark, but I can't remember laughing too much through it. So be aware, this is an uncomfortable, part creepy film that is unsettling to watch. (e.g. one of the reasons the boy in the film has trouble dealing with life is that the neighbor was burned alive in front of his eyes --- and that's in the opening of the film)
