Quotes Dr. User reviews 51 Review. Top review. Intriguing horror-thriller with creepy moments amidst the silliness. Some reviewers here on the IMDb have complained that the film is poorly directed, but I don't see where they're coming from.
The film is unfussily directed, but to use the word "poor" is somewhat harsh. The plot - while fundamentally rather silly and hard-to-swallow - is at least quite unusual, and helps the film to come across as a reasonably original and unpredictable piece of hokum. A psychiatrist with unusual telepathic powers, Dr Michael Strother Goran Visnjic , moves from Seattle to London after his treatment results in the death of a patient and a subsequent witch-hunt by the American media.
It was directed by Nick Willing, a promising genre contributor who first appeared with the excellent Photographing Fairies and since went onto the thriller The River King , the horror film Altar and tv mini-series like Alice in Wonderland , Jason and the Argonauts , Tin Man , Alice and Neverland Wells A large part of the problem with the film is a confusing and disjointed screenplay.
Goran Visnjic, for example, goes from being a mere hypnotist to seemingly also being able to read minds. During her hypnosis session, Shirley Henderson sees the image of the girl inside her dream and queries Goran Visnjic what she is doing there but no answer is provided and then this is also forgotten and never mentioned again.
The effect is akin to watching a detective thriller mini-series but having come in during the second episode and missed vital information. The melange of hypnotism, serial killer thriller, occult symbolism and seeming clairvoyance makes for a disjointed thriller where it is not clear what is happening.
