What a waste. Everything that you think is going to happen, happens. This was tough to get through as it was predictable and boring. The acting is fine, but for a film that should have lots of suspense, twists, and thrills it falls completely flat.
shareI thought it was alright. Follows 'The Hand That Rocks The Cradle' formula but with hypnosis instead of a child.
It feels like a decently made TV thriller, which is rare these days.
Doubtful I'd watch it again but still enjoyed it.
7/10.
At first I thought it was avoiding many of the same old cliches. The protagonist actually figures out what's going on fairly quickly. When she and her friend go to the police, they aren't met with skepticism and dismissal. But then her intelligence deserts her and she makes the dangerous move of going back to the hypnotist. And even though that failed spectacularly, she then insists on going out to the guy's house alone and goes inside, etc. etc. I was just relieved that when it was all over, it really was all over. I was holding my breath at the very end, expecting something to trigger a suggestion he'd placed.
shareYep, standard white man bad stuff. Moved along at a fair pace though
