Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

cppguy It's good to see the overall rating of this movie is above 6. It's a unique little thriller. I like horror films which leave you wondering if it's really supernatural, or just natural and a bit out of kilter. Frankly, I hit the end of the film and still wondered.I think the novelty of this film was the proper use of a practical hypnotist and his own peculiar genius in manipulating people and events and his own struggle with his distinct abilities. One other reviewer thought this was a prelude to a sequel. I really doubt that, but it's a shame that it's unlikely... not now that 9 years have passed. The hero's abilities would be a good hook for additional films or a TV series. A proper hypnotist should encourage and enlighten, and so he does. We're given enough to make us want more of the hero."Close Your Eyes" has some reasonable action, good acting, a unique plot, enough surrealism to keep you guessing. Downside is some predictability. Well, you can't have everything. If some of the flaws were cleared, I'd boost my rating to 8 or 9. As it is, it's decent film... it's not a bad 100 minutes spent. Frankly, I'd like to see more. You get some very good "oh, s***" moments which make this worth watching. However, I wish the "evil" factor got a bit more play.Kudos to the next director/producer to take this film a step further.

Matthew Hopkiins This is one of those films that you watch and can't believe that it that it hasn't been feted by all and sundry.A superb screen play, fantastic casting,flawless direction, there is very little wrong with this film at all, except...........it may be a little too complex for the masses.Yes, you have to put a bit of thought into this one to enjoy it to it's maximum potential.If you do however, you are rewarded with an intelligent exciting movie.There are enough twists and turns in the film to keep you hooked throughout.A truly undiscovered gem.

Ovidiu Margarit This was a great movie.Not only was the subject "different" and refreshing, but the ending was also unexpected and successful unlike "GODSEND" and many other paranormal type movies.The acting is excellent, given that this is not your standard action movie. Corin Redgrave was good - Goran Visnjic is good and convincing, and, if I may say so his accent is amazingly genuine. Eat your heart out Mr Governor!!! He did a really good job of appearing distraught but not freaked out through the action.I thoroughly recommend this movie! It's much better than most!

gridoon To describe this film, I will borrow a phrase that the inimitable Pauline Kael had once used: hokum without the fun of hokum. Despite some camera tricks and computer effects, "Doctor Sleep" is plodding. The script is muddled, and Shirley Henderson's amateurish performance as the female detective is a big hindrance. Though it is filmed in London, it takes little advantage of it as a city, and portrays its police as stuck-up buffoons. Besides, when a movie starts with plot elements like hypnosis and mind-reading, who wants to see a far less interesting story involving occult symbols and satanic rituals? I will admit that some scenes work - they can make you a little queasy - but that's it. (*1/2)
