This psychological comedy horror stars Ryan Reynolds as Jerry Hickfang, a factory worker with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With help from his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush played by Gemma Arterton, but their relationship takes a sudden murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy or indulge in the sinister.

Reviews:
Roger Ebert “The Voices” is the tale of a man who can’t look back, really since the death of his mother, or he’ll really go insane. Once you start talking to your pets, there’s no turning around."
Rotten Tomatoes "The Voices allows Ryan Reynolds to deliver a highlight-reel performance—and offers an off-kilter treat for fans of black comedies."
