Hypnotic (2021)

Another movie that you can safely include in the background when you do household chores.

The mystery is gone in the first 20 minutes, then we are just driven through the expected clichéd scenes, a twist occurs that you can see with your eyes closed, and...that's it.

Minimum production standards are observed, yet even a fairly short film feels slow and drawn out because of the abundance of static camera shots.

The first time I saw this exact storyline was in 2001 in the Russian detective series Broken Lantern Streets, season 3, episode 16. So you could say that I got a special treat when I saw a more expensive Hollywood adaptation of a cheap show from the post-Soviet era. For the joke's sake, you can check it out on youtube by translating this to Russian and searching on youtube - "Streets of Broken Lanterns. Season 3. (episode 16)". It's in Russian, exactly the same but way cheaper and cheesier. A hypnotherapist is using his godlike powers to rob people's houses ending up murdering a witness and eventually getting caught after a failed hypnopower attempt.

I wanted to check the spoiler box after saying this, but there is no mystery or twist in the film, so I'm fine there.

I enjoy Kate Siegel, but she really needs to stick to Flanagan's projects (Midnight Mass was great btw).

As for the movie itself, it represents 88 minutes of screen time, which fills the Netflix library so you'll definitely have something to watch when you don't have anything else to do.

Fmovies: MAN IT LITERALLY SAID "UNKNOWN NUMBER." STOP PICKING IT UP.

Aiyaya why some characters had to be so stupid. A new horror on Netflix about hypnotism not directed by Mike Flanagan but starred his wife Kate Siegel.

This is another movie that helps define the word mediocre. The plot was straightforward and I could see the twists coming from miles away. Because of this, there was little sense of mystery to the villain, and there's wasn't that much to begin with. As mentioned at the beginning, one of the plot points involving the unknown number could have been avoided if the characters were just a bit smarter. Very frustrating.

However, I wouldn't call this a horrible movie because the hypnotism was done pretty okay. Then, Kate Siegel had a decent performance that saved the movie a little bit.

Overall, let me hypnotize you to avoid this movie. 5/10.

Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote's 'Hypnotic' contains a lot of strange concepts, but they're all in the early stages. It's well-made, and the cast does everything they can to make it work, but without any depth to the characters or narrative, things merely happen one after the other, rather than gradually unfold. The predictable twists and turns that can be seen from a mile away make for a dismal ride.

Hypnotic fmovies. Kate Siegel is a good actress however the writing in this film is done poorly. This is a revenge thriller since there really isn't any mystery to uncover. The film uncovers exactly what's happening within the first quarter of the film. Pervvy psychologist using hypnosis. With no mystery to solve, the film becomes very boring. Feels like your typical boring Lifetime movie.

This actually reminded me of Lovecraft's remake of the wonderful 1984 beloved Re-animator before they cut the scenes out when ol' boy hypnotizes ol' girl , his promising future love! Dr. Halsey I'm rather surprised you discover the secret of eternal life and you use it to tryst around with a bubble-headed school-girl!, you're not even a second-rate scientist!" Herbert West excellent stuff! But this was cool, I liked the cute twaked out girl that issued out of the kitchen sink to proffer some serious damage on ol' boy there talk about using whatever is under the kitchen sink! Very cool, although I don't understand why or how in the throes of the row ol' boy stops to examine his wounds absently long before he has put down the twaked out threat! Lol but it was nice.. it was a nice thriller man, there was nothing wrong with it, I don't understand why people can't watch five or ten minutes and if they don't like it click on another one, why come on here to denounce the thing as though they're whole lives depend on devaluing someone's art, I mean who cares its fiction it's supposed to be fun and wacky , I mean this was more straight ahead and hard-boiled but regardless or matter-of-fact but really I couldn't find any holes with it , other than , it was just a lil' too close to real life for me but hey, that doesn't make it bad!? Do you go to Barne's and Nobels and read five to ten pages put it back then go write a bad review asking Barne's and Noble's to please stop outputting such tripe? No, so why rag on film so much? Just move on...

Very good supence filled thriller about a therapist who uses hypnosis to manipulate his patients and implants hypnotic suggestions into their head. Very well written and performed.
