The Number 23 (2007) – Awfully Good Horror Movies

A new episode of the Awfully Good Horror Movies video series has just dropped online, and in this one we’re taking a look back at the 2007 thriller The Number 23 (watch it HERE), starring Jim Carrey in one of his most serious roles. To find out why we feel this movie was worthy of the Awfully Good treatment, check out the video embedded above!

Directed by Joel Schumacher from a screenplay written by Fernley Phillips, The Number 23 has the following synopsis: A man’s discovery of an obscure book about the number 23 leads him on a descent into darkness. As he becomes more obsessed with its contents, he becomes more convinced that it is, in fact, based on his life. To his horror, he discovers grave consequences in store for the book’s main character.

Carrey is joined in the cast by Paul Butcher, Virginia Madsen, Logan Lerman, Danny Huston, Rhona Mitra, Bud Cort,
Chris Lajoie, Mark Pellegrino, Lynn Collins, Michelle Arthur, Ed Lauter, Corey Stoll, Patricia Belcher, and Troy Kotsur.
