Well Deserved Praise

Waste of time

Disturbing yet enthralling

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

An aging psychiatrist, Dr. Kevin Khoury, now writing about the illness of multiple personality disorders is approached by a woman at a book signing, eventuality forcing him to go into one of his older cases, when he gave diagnostics to a young girl's case the woman's sister. This is the start of a film which has a great deal of talent, and which could have been quite a film if the script writing had held all the story though.With quite a meager budget the film maker has made a film which manages to keep your interest all the way until the end, which might not follow up your expectations. The acting is excellent. Armane Assante is great as the psychiatrist, but the one stealing the show is Lacey Chabert, which plays the sister. She is absolutely amazing in her role as the MPD-ridden girl.If you like a good mystery, this is time well spent, with a great idea in the midst of a film which allowed your mind to work hard. Still I could see this material being made into a very good film with a little better script writing. The rest if the film is very talented all the way through.

Since it is not a movie for the theaters but straight to TV, so not a big budget film, i think they did a decent job. It was entertaining and the plot twists may not be mind blowing it still did it for me. I wouldn't shout of the rooftops to go and see it but I might tell people to check it.I read a review from someone complaining about the special effects. I don't get his point, there are not many real special effects in it and since it is not a big budget movie I'd say they were good enough.All and all a decent movie, good enough acting mostly and maybe a few things could have been done better but hey, give me one title of a blockbusting movie that doesn't have that.Also I would like to point out that it's hard to make a movie with this kind of story that makes sense to everybody.Maybe it would have been more satisfying for the big audience with more gore and action and dazzling effects but imho it didn't need that.Maybe some more character building could have been nice... Just check it out some day ;)

Surprise ending and twists are suppose to help dress and ignite the silver screen as well as deliver food for thoughts to audiences, but this one just turned out its own lights.Now, imagine a top psychiatrist/serial killer who managed to suppress all of his own evil killings... and now presently working to help uncover the deaths of 4 female spirits (one of them happens to be his own wife) whom he personally buried under a salt mine. Working along one of the victim's sister, a cop and a psychic.Now that's plenty of resources at his disposals, not to mention the four ghosts whose memories were intact and a psychic... a psychic! You'd think they all knew it was him as soon as he walked in the front door! But Noooooooooope! The movie kept pointing the killer in all different directions, other than the evil doctor himself, which as it turned out, surprise surprise!... the ending twist of the movie. What a shame.This could have been really good should the killer be someone else, good as in it would have made more sense and I would have given this one 8/10.

I found this to be a fairly good movie.The acting was good, I doubted Lacey Chabert could pull off multiple personalities but she was much better than I expected. Dina Meyer is pretty as ever and Assante was good, though far less animated than I'm used to. He was playing a psychiatrist turned writer so I guess it fit.The story was gripping and kept you interested, though at times wondering why the characters couldn't figure out what you had. (Don't be too smug ;) The end was abrupt and I think they could have done a better job, but overall I would say that this movie would be well received by most.
