AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Pierre Mulroney WARNING: SPOILERS It was a good movie. Tension builds up nicely. Ending kills it.-1 star for horrible ending. Seriously, half of the stuff in the movie could've been cut out and that ending would've made sense. I have a feeling the ending was rushed. Spoiler: I felt from the beginning the movie was building up to a "the-head-guy-was-evil" type ending. A lot of the buildup just doesn't make sense without it actually being real.-1 star for the lead actress' acting. All other acting was spot on. All she did was look good through the movie. Her acting wasn't just wasn't believable.
Raul Faust The unknown actress Kelly Overton plays a young doctor who is starting her job with psychiatry in a proper hospital for mental sick people. Once the young physician starts talking to a problematic patient with a visible mental sickness, strange things start happening to her-- that's a cliché line, I know. She hears voices in her room when she's by herself, weird people come by in her apartment and one mysterious voice calls her on the intercom. The problematic patience tells her to look around and be careful about something he never specifies, which catenate to an intriguing plot. Several scenes are tense and extremely entertaining due to the good directing and acting. Kelly Overton varies from good to bad, depending on what the scene is requesting from her. In the end we have a surprise-- which isn't very understandable-- and a feel good ending, mainly because of the photography direction and the beautiful last song. Considering the subject chosen and how original it was back when released, this film deserves nothing less than a 7. Give it a chance.
insomniac_rod I caught this movie on local t.v. at about 4:30 a.m. I didn't have expectations for it but after the opening credits I knew I was into something good.There are situations that are left for your interpretation to "find out" what really happened so your attention is a key factor.The whole psychological thriller situation deals a lot with character development and the way things are executed by the main character.Your sub-conscience also plays an important part because through a series of events and dialogs you will be able to make a correct interpretation and generate an opinion.The technical aspects are very good. Really good in fact. Kelly Overtone is extremely sexy and she's candy for the eye although she's most of the time in her white clothes.The fear factor is almost inexistent but there's plenty of mystery and tension to dig from.I would recommend it for those who enjoy supernatural and psychological thrillers.
kublakhanpics Saw the film at the Hollywood Film Festival in Oct '04 . Mark Robertson took a huge chance writing an extremely difficult part for his first film and it paid off big in his casting of Kelly Overton. I had a strong feeling she came from the theater so I looked her up here and ...surprise, I'm right. More Hollywood actors should follow her lead, give up the expensive acting classes and get back to theater because only with that kind of training will you be prepared for a ride like this. For all the great things I can say about the film and the director (and there are many) I just can't stop talking to people about Kelly Overton's masterful performance. We'll be seeing a LOT MORE of her work, no doubt. Congratulations to Mark and Kelly on a daring film. Get it out in the theaters so I can bring all the people I made want to see the film ASAP!
