Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

KnockKnock1 I have not read the graphic novel this movie is based on nor have I ever watched an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I raise that point because apparently a few of the background performers in that famous TV show are plentiful enough for fans to remark this movie is something of a reunion. Whatever. Both things are lost on me. My thoughts here are just on this movie, nothing else.This is one of those movies that make you admonish it for being an exercise in style over substance. Visually it is good value. It is photographed well and you can see real effort put into the production design. Trippy camera movement and odd angles add to the atmosphere of random voices whispering in corridors, vague figures and shadows dancing about on the periphery. This movie is one long schizophrenic's interpretation of another schizophrenic's manic stricken nightmare.There isn't much order in the chaos. This movie is absent a coherent plot. Michelle Trachtenberg's famous long dark locks have been cut so short that she's unrecognizable and made to look quite plain. Stupid decision really. You need your stars to be recognizable. Rookie mistake.Ex porn star Sasha Grey appears randomly wearing clip-on bunny ears for some unknown reason, but she looks so cute wearing them you forgive her. That spectacle plus a sex scene with Katie Cassidy (the choreography and photography stolen from a far superior surrealist film, Fight Club) and Ashlynn Yennie wandering about totally nude are highlights in a totally unwatchable turgid flick that would do well to market itself as style over substance.

begob Wasn't expecting this.About two minutes in the heroine approaches a halfway house for recovering young mental patients. Her film-noir voice-over says, "It was so low the only way was up". Just then a suicide jumper smacks on to the pavement and splatters her with blood.I was hooked.If you like Bukowski style seediness (ref'd in the dialogue) and a weird cast of sexual characters you will love it. It's also very colourful and imaginative, with a special comic book logic, and the black wisecracks are pretty good.Usually American weird disappears up its own arse after a promising start, but this one has clear structure and develops into a superhero story.Much better than the bloviation of Batman and Superman and Whateverman. If nothing else the US needs subtle endings like this instead of torture-ridden black & white conquests.The fight sequence obviously needed more budget, and I didn't enjoy the music (apart from a few Tom Waits style blasts) - a bit grim and formulaic.Overall a good surprise and highly recommended.

J. (CountJonnie) The movie starts out mysterious, trying to be a thriller. You'll see the main character (perfectly played by Arrow's Katie Cassidy), being a suspect in a murder case, who is also a mental patient. As a mental patient she lives in a building full of other mental patients who are too crazy to be credible, just as her head is inhabited by various personalities.Obviously the movie wants you to wonder what kind of reality (or realities) you're in. While making you think, the movie transforms from a mysterious thriller into something more sci-fi / fantasy. This could be a good thing if it wasn't already well done by The Matrix, or Identity. As the movie transforms from mysterious to crazy and loses all credibility (yes, superpowers), somehow the lead characters succeed in becoming very interesting. Maybe the lead character isn't as crazy as we were meant to believe and her acting skills (together with her co-stars) make this movie watchable and fun, while all the puzzle pieces fall in their place.My advice: don't watch this movie expecting something very complex, but it's good enough thanks to the actors who take their job seriously. The nod goes to Katie Cassidy. After disliking her in Arrow, she made me a believer. Thanks to her the movie is now a 6 instead of a 5.

Jerghal The scribbler is another Graphic Novel adaptation to the big screen. I've never heard of it but maybe it's well known it that world. The movie's filled with B-actors like Michelle Trachtenberg, Michael Imperioli, Gina Gershon and even Sasha grey (1 shot!). Overall the acting is not bad but for a movie about split personalities you would expect to see some of these different persons but nope, the lead actres only plays her one character and the hidden Scibbler character turns out to be a superhero-like someone but it's all a bit weird and messy. I wouldn't recommend this film but if you do see it, it will only take 89 mins out of your life.
