Diferente, es lenta y va por el lado de las "conspiraciones/la protagonista esta loca" cosa que si no te atrapa desde el principio se puede hacer insufrible. Aunque la historia sea mas o menos la escenografía y la actuación de Christina Ricci la hacen bastante zafable.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

40 minutes of listless ramp-up...arrgh. Do youself a favor and watch Sliver (1993) instead.

Slow burn suspense horror that is well made and has its focus in the right place.

Not even the great actress Christina Ricci can save this movie, it's so boring and contrite that I could just barely hang on until the end!

Ricci's performance is very good. Unfortunately, that performance is within the confines of this movie. Her performance is simply not enough to carry the audience through the long stretches of flashback, looking around warily, and walking through the house. The concept was solid, but poorly executed by the director. The ending was just thrown at the audience in the end without much of a connection with the rest of the movie. I don't think the ending was thoroughly thought out.

Ricci is convincingly terrified in a film that's never scary enough to justify her performance.

Starburst

Thanks to Ricci's excellent performance as Lauren and Cusack's balanced supporting role, Disjointed will certainly find favour with fans of classic Canadian cult offerings.

Rated: 7/10

Eye for Film

[Christina] Ricci is impressive, however, working hard with what she's got to create a character we can believe in even when what's happening to and around her stretches credulity.

Rated: 2.5/5

Alex Arabian

Film Inquiry

Distorted leaves viewers with a disjointed, unoriginal story, a made-for-TV feel, and underwhelming thrills, with the only saving graces being the presence of Ricci and Cusack.

Niall Browne

Movies in Focus

A frustratingly terrible paranoia thriller, Distorted manages to waste a potentially intriguing premise and the star power of Christina Ricci and John Cusack.

Rated: 1/5

"Distorted" plays one too many tricks, and its casting is abysmal.
