In “The 9th Life of Louis Drax,” what we see is not necessarily what we can believe.

The whole is constantly tinted this way, its twists and turns shown with an air of artifice that would play brilliantly with a younger audience.

“Louis Drax” is a curious melding of sensibilities, as eager to show off its mysteries as it is to neatly resolve them. It’s a pleasant enough reverie, but one from which you won’t mind waking.

The 9th Life Of Louis Drax is a pitch-black psychological drama disguised as a romantic melodrama and shot like a family-friendly fantasy film.

“The 9th Life of Louis Drax” is a twisty, Hitchcockian thriller mixed with trippy moments of magical realism.

Part fever-dream, part supernatural thriller and not entirely successful as either, Louis Drax is nonetheless watchable, bolstered by provocative themes.

Horror film-maker Alexandre Aja turns in a tonally odd supernatural thriller which hits its stride when creepy stuff starts to happen

It’s a lot of sound and fury … signifying something, but not quite enough.

Terrible things keep happening to a 9-year-old boy, who narrates the mystery of his own near-murder from a coma.

A dopey psychological thriller that combines elements of “The Sixth Sense” with an overbearing sentimentality, “The 9th Life of Louis Drax” flat-lines from beginning to end.

A convoluted mix of precious and creepy that quickly flatlines.

When the movie finally settles on a tone, it’s not quite any of those, and it’s too late.

“The 9th Life of Louis Drax” throws childhood fantasy, adult melodrama and a quasi-scientific thriller at the viewer, and none of it sticks.

It's even more of a mess than its poor mangled, hamster-murdering protagonist.
