      Audience Member If you enjoy horror movies involving writers you'll probably enjoy this. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting psychological thriller. Shot in Spain the cinematography is top rate. The acting by all concerned is rather flat with very little over dramatizing . The pace of the movie is rather slow in the first half but picks up momentum in the last half. The best of the film is the story line. A unique premise is presented giving the audience alot to think about. In my opinion, this is a good movie but not an outstanding one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a really good movie Hitchcockian style. Its made like the good thrillers of the end of the 70's and early 80's. It is quite an entertaining thriller. I highly recommend it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member To put it bluntly, it sucked through and through. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member It was an interesting story. However, other than Timothy Hutton, the rest of the acting was terrible. The antagonist just was not evil or hate-able enough to make the movie work. Very scenic, but not enough to carry the movie. You can't spend your entire budget on one character. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member While it was a bit confusing the the beginning, it kept me watching. I like the premise, cat and mouse of sorts. Hitchcockian for sure. The ending was worth it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Scott Weinberg Cinematical A straight-faced and reality-based piece of "old-school" science fiction, the kind that's more concerned with concepts like mind control and the power of suggestion than it is flashy chases or explosions. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 20, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
