Matt Currie Collider ...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. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Christian Toto Washington Times 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. May 6, 2010 Full Review Debi Moore 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 May 6, 2010 Full Review Philip Martin Arkansas Democrat-Gazette A surprisingly effective (given its miniscule theatrical release) sub-Hitchcock thriller with an excellent cast, Rated: 87/100 Apr 24, 2010 Full Review Read all reviews

Kyle J 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 09/10/24 Full Review Lyn G 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Jerod S 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/16/24 Full Review Kat B Suspenseful, captivating and a talented cast. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Janice M It was weird. That's about all I can say. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/24 Full Review Yani A I need an explanation and a good ending Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
