Grace (Chloë Sevigny) is an ambitious young journalist conducting an investigation of a controversial psychiatrist (Stephen Rea) who is currently maintaining a questionable relationship with disturbed patient Angelique (Lou Doillon). As the investigation continues, Grace soon stumbles into an ongoing conspiracy populated by human experimentation, strange deaths, and a controversial operation. As the probing reporter delves ever deeper into the profoundly unsettling details and witnesses a brutal murder thanks to the unintended assistance of Angelique's latest love interest, Dr. Dylan Wallace, her fragile mental state is quickly shattered by the spiraling violence and unspeakable revelations to which she is now inextricably bound. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I liked this up until the last ten minutes or so. Good, creepy suspense film, both actresses are great in their roles. Then it takes a very confusing twist and I'm not at all sure exactly what they were getting at with it, but anyhow...

    Nobody payed attention to this remake of De Palmas original movie with the same title, but I happen to think this was at least as good as the original movie if not better.

    Not a bad straight to cable remake of the classic DePalma film from the 70's. It didnt have the star power of Kidder and Salt or the creepy music of the original but was a decent rehash of a great cult film. Lou Doillon did an amazing job outshining her more recognizable and expe... read morerienced co-stars.

    An OK remake of the DePalma classic, but not done as well as when DePalma did it. Still, worth a watch if you've never seen the original...or just want to compare the two.
