Jerod S She might be psychotic. Her husband might be running everything from a weird cult. Or their might be a serial killer on the grounds. But there definitely is a lot of bad acting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review don s Bad movie. Poorly written, amateurishly acted (and I generally enjoy Charisma Carpenter), slowly paced, simplistic effects - you get the idea. Not one redeeming quality in this wreck of a movie. A crime writer had a mental breakdown. She marries the man who helped her get through it. They move to the sticks in jolly old England and strange things begin to happen, making her question her sanity... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A serial killer unleashes his blood lust at a remote environmental-camp. Years later a horror novelist relocates to rural England and is plagued to the point of madness by horrific haunting of a massacre. So I finally got around to watching Charisma Carpenter in "Psychosis". At first as it started out I thought maybe I had the wrong movie because it looked like a tradition psycho slasher flick however I was pleasantly surprised. After the story took off, the way that the film kept me constantly focused on the deceit of her husband, and constantly trying to figure out just what the film was about, it totally threw me for a loop with the ending. Brilliant execution of the story. This was not an easy script to keep cohesive and relatable. At any point the film could have fell apart with all the subtext and micro plots that seemed to flutter about in the telling of this story. For the most part I felt I was watching a psychological thriller just a bit above Lifetime Movie abilities and constantly wondering what the beginning had to do with f*ckall in this movie. It kept me guessing and confused visually as to the characters that played out in the Macbeth styled dance of twisted tales of betrayal and deception. The cinematography was gritty and yet polished with its total control of the film by jumping from micro plot to micro plot. Is she crazy? Is she psychic? or is some people totally f*cking with her?! I just kept bouncing back. This turned out to be a really great film and you don't realize just how intricate and detailed the plot is until the last 15 minutes of the film and that is got me totally into the story and made me drop my jaw. The ending tied it all up so poignantly and perfectly. A great psychological profile of the depths of human psychosis. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The acting is wooden in places and you have to think about the storyline a lot, but not in a good sense as you're trying to fathom things out rather than enjoying the mystery. It's just about watchable. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Just silly. It took an hour and a half to tell a 15 minute story. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Very similar to Half Light with Demi Moore, but no where near as good. A struggling writer moves to a secluded house in the country and begins seeing creepy things, like a teen playing with a soccer ball. It just never really meshed well and follows a very similar plot to Demi's movie, but does everything much worse. Then it has a twist near the end regarding her husband and how he set it up and his downfall, but by then it was too late for me to care. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
