Michael Hayden (Kiefer Sutherland) is a drunk police detective haunted by nightmares of visions through the eye of the killer. He's put on the Jabberwocky case. It's been ten years since the last time the "Alice in Wonderland" obsessed serial killer showed up. Michael starts having waking visions. Harvey (Henry Czerny) claims that they're psychic visions. He's a literary college professor. Dr. Vera Swann (Polly Walker) insists that Harvey is not Jabberwocky.The drunken haunted police detective may be a cliché. It is still a perfectly good character. In another movie, this could be a compelling character. This movie is a mess. The connections seem random. The plot seems disjointed. The case is not laid out very well. Sutherland keeps the movie from going off the rails but he isn't able to save this. The psychic visions are a bit lame. It's a poorly made psychic police procedural.

Actually reality doesn't have much of these either. At least not in my life. This is a very real movie about very real people, none of them perfect in any way but together they are put into a situation where they learn to explore and accept what is different and that in turn makes order out of chaos. I am not prepared to limit the possibility of parapsychology, since I'm neither an expert nor use the full extent of my own brain.So watch this movie for the characters. It is brim-full of a whole cast of wonderful quirky folk. Within the first three minutes Kiefer Sutherland enacts Detective Michael Hayden's life superbly and he keeps developing the character throughout the movie. Excellent acting, very believable. Henry Czerny could not have been cast better and the rapport between his 'Harvey' and Kiefer's 'Mickey' enhances the oppositeness of their characters.I thoroughly enjoyed the cranky landlady, 'Mrs Ramsay', I'm sure she and my mother-in-law are good friends!!!There's a host more of these wonderful characters but space is limited here so watch the movie and enjoy them.
... View MoreANOTHER great performance by Kiefer Sutherland. I love his movies, because he always plays his role very well. For a low budget film, this was done very good, and kept me on the edge the whole time. I love these type of movies, and I was glad I caught it on. I'll be buying the dvd or tape for sure.9/10.
... View MoreAnother brilliant portrayal by Kiefer Sutherland who plays Mickey Hayden, a cop dealing with psychic visions of murdered victims. I absolutely love movies dealing with the psychic realm, and I wasn't disappointed with "Eye of the Killer" (AKA After Alice). I only wish the movie had been released theatrical first.
