AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

nicolemoore1992 Boy sees girl. Boy remembers girl from childhood. Boy decides he loves girl and becomes a total creeper who eventually kidnaps her. Girl has crazy stalker who will kill anyone who gets in his way. Bad things happen and a lot of people die. That's basically the whole movie.I'll admit, the only reason I watch this movie was because Jeffrey Combs was in it. And it's the only reason I'm giving it 2 stars. This movie is bad. The plot makes no since, seemingly jumps from one thing to the other. The acting seems forced in places. Events that happen in the movie seem to far-fetched to be believable, making this movie even harder to watch. And the ending....*sigh*.....what even was that. It makes no since, and again, is too unbelievably far-fetched.I do not recommend this movie to anyone.

sean lawson I thought most people who see this movie would like it if your into this kind of thing.But after reading some of the bad reviews on here i feel compelled to stick up for this movie because i thought it was fantastic and would hate for people to miss it because of a few ignorant people. Laura baxter played by cherilyn Wilson is a sleeping beauty who suffers from a rare disorder called parasomnia and as such sleeps most of the time except for a few minutes here and there where she wakes up.While visiting a friend in the same hospital danny sloan comes across the path of both laura and the "pyscho" in the next room byron volpe who is strung up in his room(think hannibal). After learning laura is going to be taken to another hospital where a doctor with very questionable ethics is going to treat her like a "lab rat" danny decides to break her out and captivated by her beauty wants to look after her himself. Not long after she moves in many problems arise and murders start occurring. Cherilyn Wilson does an amazing job as laura and i can definitely see why both byron and danny are so taken with her because the movie probably wouldn't have been half as good if someone too well known like an angelina jolie had been in the role. The movie is perfectly paced,wonderfully acted and although its unrealistic if you can accept it for what it is you will enjoy this movie immensely.

john-souray This film is very creepy indeed. Unfortunately, not for the reasons the film makers would hope.There's a mastermind serial killer too, but he's not what's creepy either. He's just your standard comic book villain, a cross between Hannibal Lecter and Freddie Kruger, though with nothing particularly fresh to add to either. Incidentally, for even the vilest and most reprehensible of criminals, can they be detained chained in a stress position, on their feet, arms outstretched 24 hours a day week in week out? I suppose in the world that gave us Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, anything's possible.No, what's really creepy about this film is the central character, Danny. This unappealing young man, aided and abetted it's true by some ludicrously lax security arrangements and a doctor entirely careless of any notion of professional ethics or patient confidentiality, wanders into the hospital room occupied by what can only be described as a highly vulnerable and defenceless young woman, and on the basis of nothing whatsoever (her chronic sleeping precludes from being able to give anything like informed consent) imagines himself to have some sort of special relationship with her.Seemingly within days, he has arrogated to himself the right to abduct her, believing (completely falsely, as we discover) that he is better able to care for her than anyone else, and within minutes of getting her back to his apartment, is sexually molesting her though she is (again due to her sleepiness) entirely unable to consent or resist.Our suspicions as to why he would feel this connection are pretty soon confirmed. He is of course more or less unable to form any mature adult friendships, let alone sexual relationships, so instead falls back on this essentially infantilised woman, who because of her permanent sleeping has a mental age corresponding to a lived experience of only a few years. The scene where she discovers ice cream is particularly cringe-making, and the coyly knowing look she gives him when he gloatingly says he'll have to clean her up again causes a particular shudder of horror. But again, I'm afraid, not that shudder of horror the film makers were hoping for, but a much more straightforward spasm of revulsion. We can all see clearly what's on the end of our forks here - it's the paedophile's perfect dream of innocence, sexual compliance and utter dependence. Horrible, horrible, horrible.What else have we got in this mish mash? Twisted dreamscapes not quite as good as del Toro. The compulsory "You need to go to the police" argument, where the lead character always has a reason for not doing so even though it's the only sensible course of action. The automaton sequence, much praised in the comments here, though completely and utterly pointless ("It serves no function!", as Sigourney Weaver memorably protested in Galaxy Quest) and looking to me just like the Abominable Doctor Phibes rehashed in one of the Saw derivatives.Jeffrey Combs does his best though, so a star for that, and a couple more because you have to keep lower rankings for films that are even worse than this, and in general this is well-shot and competently performed.

Michel Marion Here goes the perfect example of what not to do when you have a great idea. That is the problem isn't? The concept is fresh and full of potential, but the script and the execution of it lacks any real substance. It should grab you from the start and then pull a little on your emotions, get you interested and invested in the characters. This movie doesn't have what it takes to take off and sustain flight, and here is why. First you don't really care about the characters because they are not presented in a way that people can relate to, I mean this is not Superman or Mission Impossible here, it's suppose to be about normal people put in a stressful situation. They are not believable in the way they act and interact. Example : Jeffrey Combs as a cop over chewing is gum, frowning and looking intense all the time isn't the way to go here. I mean what is that?, he looks like he's on the toilet or something. I loved him in re-animator and the way he was playing the intense/neurotic, unappreciated medical genius was right on the money. But not for this, he tries too hard to over compensate by looking so intense and on edge but in a still mild neurotic manner, it's not natural, I'm surprised he didn't dislocate his jaw during filming. The movie is basically on life support, it barely has a pulse and it kept me waiting for something that would never come.
