A man’s (Hayden Christensen) life is put in danger on the operating table by unscrupulous doctors. His only hope of survival? His girlfriend (Jessica Alba); yeah, he’s gonna die. Oh, and did I mention he spends the flick as a sort of ghost haunting his still living body? Sorry, I probably forgot to mention that “cool” fact. Check out the official site. The film opens everywhere on Friday. Larger trailer available in the Full Diagnosis.

All that, plus our usual brand of zaniness! Enjoy, and thanks for joining us!
