I will say I kept waiting for some shit to drop late into the movie to add some twist and make sense of some stuff but it never came. It got a lil repetitive for me and might've revealed too much too early. Once we learned that he was hypnotizing people in the first 20 minutes it sorta became rinse wash repeat without adding much new for the rest of it, so that was a bit disappointing
It was definitely foreboding tho. The one major benefit of revealing the hypnosis early was that it had me on edge for a few of the scenes that followed for the rest of the movie. I kept thinking at any minute the detective would kill his wife or kill the psychiatrist or the psychiatrist would kill him or something, so that worked pretty well. I almost wish there were more scenes with any two of those characters to keep that up more frequently
The blocking and camera movements added a ton to that sense of dread. Anytime someone walked behind someone else and the camera followed them there I expected them to walk back with a knife or some shit. It was really well shot and choreographed. Some good long takes too
The ending was..interesting. I wanna read a bit about it. Apparently we're supposed to believe that the detective now unknowingly is hypnotizing people? Idk idk
Almost gave it a 6 but went with a 7. I liked it enough |
