Reincarnation goes horribly wrong releasing dark forces across time. Basia accesses parts of her mind that should never be tampered with. Past lives merge with present as her reality becomes distorted, she fights for her very existence.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I was not sure what to expect from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. The cinematography is stunning. The timeline is all mixed up and confusing but I like that stuff.If you like Mulholland Drive and films like Memento and Donnie Darko, this will be your cuppa tea. Not a cheap horror. Has a real Kubrick feel to it as well as other clear influences from the classics.A challenging watch but well worth it at the end. Kept me thinking for days after. If you are looking for something refreshing and different then this is a hidden gem.

I got put off in this movie straight from the start by the ridiculous portrayal of the hypnosis session. Suspension of disbelief, I know it and even that didn't work, it was just too bad. At least do a little research.However, let that not spoil what can possibly a great movie. The soundscapes were ominous and promising and it looked like this film had an interesting structure, weaving past lives into the present. Unfortunately, the cuts ended up being too erratic, even arty jump-cuts need some sort of logic, even if it's dreamlike logic, but even dreams make more sense than the edits in this movie.One sure thing is that the filmmaker knows how to use a camera. There are some nice shots in the movie and there is a general line in the way the movie is told visually, so some kudos's for that.The acting is good, although after a while I was dreading the cuts back to real life, which were an exercise in various ways of screaming and acting crazy. Yes, sure, these are meant to portray the gradual decline and loss of reality of the protagonist but when gradual means 'shout a bit louder and act even crazier', it gets too much. I was almost happy with the ending in this case, which isn't a good thing.Overall, it seems the director took on a project where he could deliver the visual and auditory angle, but didn't put enough thought into the storytelling and directive side. Give this man a good scriptwriter and a bit more experience, and I'm sure we'll see a lot better things coming.

I didn't know what to expect from this film. And to be honest half way through i thought the same, but in a good way. Shot beautifully, a mysterious plot, the right amount of 'horror' elements to not distract from the film's arty purpose.It's quite hard for me to put this film into a particular genre, show's originality.Acting is commendable, some haunting and frigging weird performances that compliment some of the abstractness in the film.This isn't a Hollywood blockbuster by any means, but the cinematography is fantastic. Bright but haunting. Worth a second watch.

OK, this is my first review and watching his movie compelled me to make an account and write a review in order to remind and aware others to not to waste your 1 hour 45 minutes on this totally insane and psychopathic movie.The first and most irritating thing throughout the movie is the way it is directed. The camera focuses on peripheral environment rather than the characters and it drives you insane too. I think the director wanted to make his audience feel the insanity the protagonist was going through but this has completely ruined and spoiled the movie.Next, the story line itself is shown in a very complex manner which further adds to your insanity. Multiple lives in one past life makes it very difficult to contain. The acting is above average.All in all, avoid this movie.
