...ultimately, 3/4 of Peacock is probably more compelling than 4/4 of a lot of a lot of other flicks you'll come across.

While the film can't measure up to its psychologically bent scenario, it's still an intriguing choice at the local DVD store or on-demand service.

Dread Central

Unlike a lot of cinematic peeks into the world of dissociative identity disorder, the script by Lander and Ryan O Roy doesn't spend a lot of time examining the "why" of John Skillpa's life but rather focuses on the ramifications of the "how".

Rated: 4/5

A surprisingly effective (given its miniscule theatrical release) sub-Hitchcock thriller with an excellent cast,

Originally I was confused by this cinematic creation, as I myself tried to uncover the story I seemed lost. But then I noticed the little boy who I have got to say is quite the cutie patootie as well. Jake From Peacock is my idol and saved this movie from being a bust. I have got to wonder what Jake will achieve in his adulthood and can only imagine what he is doing today.

Anyone in real life would recognize Emma as John. They look alike. They are both emotionally disturbed people. The county coroner would check dental records to confirm the body when someone comes looking for the murder victim. It’s hard to believe neurotically shy John ever had sexual intercourse. The best part of the movie is the derailed caboose in the backyard. Someone could write a better script around the caboose alone. And pah-leeze, everyone, quit comparing B movies with Hitchcock films. Norman Bates was instantly recognizable in his mother’s get-up as soon as he failed to kill his next target.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Surprised this does not have a higher rating. The story is intriguing and the acting is high quality. I usually lean toward higher rated films but I am happy I did not miss this one.

Cillian can do almost anything. But the premise and believability was shaky from the start. Was everyone blind to husband and wife looking that much alike? Get real.
