Geoff Berkshire Variety 09/19/2014
Katie Cassidy's intrepid lead performance can't overcome the limitations of a low-budget comicbook adaptation. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
It's dull when one wants it to be ludicrous, and serves as a reminder of how hard it is to bring comic books to celluloid life on a limited budget. Go to Full Review

The Scribbler doesn't live up to its premise, but it still has some good scenes and provides food for thought. Go to Full Review

4/5
The Scribbler incorporates elements from several genres (science fiction, horror, dark fantasy) and generates some clever disbelief-suspending psychological double-talk. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Sep 16 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Lloyd S Mar 14 Boring and crappy story. See more Mar 1 John Suits directs Katie Cassidy, the late Michelle Trachtenberg, Gina Gershon, and Eliza Dushku The story involves a criminal psychologist and a woman Suki said to have had multiple personalities when she was at a psychiatric institution While being interrogated she recounts the story of how she came to be, mainly she’s been using a machine designed to eliminate her personalities But because of this her most dangerous one is unleashed The film takes place in one location so maybe I wasnt prepared for that and the slower buildup This woman has more of a psychological battle to contend with I do find it clever though the filmmakers have this reversed perspective with certain things like numbers and letters even various title cards The more comic book like elements don’t happen until the last half There’s cool ideas here about psychology, madness, and human potential but it takes a long while to see them fully executed It also feels emotionally lacking See more 09/12/2020 Flawed, maybe that's what makes it interesting. See more steve d 06/12/2020 extremely different deeply odd and fantastically cast. This is Cassidy's best work and she is incredible. See more 10/09/2018 A rare & enjoyable film that doesn't rely on cgi to keep you gripped. The direction is attention grabbing with witty content coupled by a great cast that truly brings something unique to the screen. See more Read all reviews
