July 16, 2011Firth awakens from a coma to discover his wife is dead and he is suspected of murdering a pop idol. This is a psychological thriller that isn't always so logical.

A film this unpleasant should at least be absorbing. This one is a hard film to get into and it really does not reward that effort.

Influenced by Japanese horror movies... we are treated to ants running free, TVs which transmit nothing but hiss, spooky psychiatrists and mediums to little or no purpose. Full Review

There's an eerie creepiness about this psychological thriller that really gets into your head. Full Review
