Ok I give Up

I've been trying to track down the name of this movie, and am getting knowhere fast

It's not that old, I don't think ?? 2000 - 2005 ??

basically the plot is a bloke going home to his small hometown in america, but when He get's there , it is deserted and something is wrong, during the film, it transpires that there is a black oily thingy going around possessing people ( can't remember if it's alien orientated or the Devil ?? )
I think Ian Mckellen was one of the main actors in it

wish I could be more specific, but Ive been on nightshift for the last fortnight and Im knackered

anyone have any clues ??

DOH !!! Ok, ok, like I said I'm tired
was well out with the year and the Actor

which does not help when your looking for it, sheesh....

It wasn't Ian Mckellen, it was Peter O'toole, can you see the resemblence

and it wasn't 2000 - 2005 it was 1998
