Test T I watched this on DVD recently, over two decades after it's release. It's one of those films which makes me question what the industry is all about, and what a film is actually meant to be. If the aim is to produce a work which can hold the attention of an audience for it's runtime this film is a resounding success. My focus was completely captivated for it's entire 90 minutes which is much more than many films can accomplish. However, this film is not at all straightforward, and is riddled with layered twists and turns which made my head ache. Despite watching every single minute, I really could not describe the story in a way which would make sense. I come away trying to resolve a plot which I strongly supect does not have a solution at all, and has been deliberately crafted using pieces which don't quite fit in order to tease the viewer. So my question remains, is this a work of cinematic genius, or is it just a frustrating disjointed mess? My opinion leans more towards the former, because it kept me focussed and made me think. I do recommend it, although you should expect to be confused at the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Jess F This was a psychological thriller of the best type. There is plenty of opportunity for you to nominate the "bad guy" and while you may be right in a sense you will probably also be wrong. The ending is a real shocker - and I suspect that the typical reaction of many viewers is to say "No way" - but if you think about it, it is the only possible ending. But you have to think about it - and the film is so action-filled that you never have time. SO the realization must come after the closing credits roll. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Mark F The writer probably thought he had a clever idea for a movie with a great twist. I found it quite stupid and unsatisfying. For one thing it's not very well executed. Lots of shouting and hysteria. Lots of crazy stuff going on like a child seeing both his parents run over in separate incidents on the same night. Or a killer who has magical abilities that would rival Santa Claus - as in not only managing to kill people, unseen, but come back later to disappear the bodies, and completely clean up blood splattered rooms, again unseen and in no time at all. Then there's the acting or lack of it, veering between strangely muted or over the top. Fans of this movie will say all this oddness is explained by the twist, the trouble is the twist is comical. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/25 Full Review Bruno V The film's perspective is false, you watch it thinking one thing, and in the end the director and creator scares you, giving another perspective, only a true one. And in the end I didn't understand it well. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Anton H It is ridiculous how satisfying this psychological horror is. The astonishing big reveal is probably the most staggering scene of exposition since the ending of “Psycho”, and it certainly doesn’t stop there. Incredible. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/24 Full Review Mike H Although some twists are visible from space, others will leave you guessing. Big names give really good performances and overall play well together. It’s worth a watch if you like murder mystery and plot twists by the dozen.
