Stereotyping can happen in many ways, "cat people" are strange people who live in dirty weird houses and probably have skeletons or maybe fresh human meat in stocked in a fridge. Oh, don't forget driving some car which might have been taken out of a Stephen King's book. I don't know if these directors stereotype to be facetious or they do it because they hate cats. And cat people, I am, are usually people who love animals, nature, and we have cats because they are easier to take care of. This movie also seems like a second tier version of Stephen King's Misery. It is dull, sloppy and very, very predictable, which is the worse thing is a intended to be thriller movie. So, go fly a kite, swim in the lake, watch sports, better, do some sport!!

I really enjoyed this film. I found the lugubrious pacing and slow menacing atmosphere quite interesting and it drew me in but then I have strange tastes. Reminds me of "Misery" but with a totally different angle.What surprised me even more is that I always thought Kate Bosworth was a terrible actress and I have now changed my opinion somewhat as she was really very good in this role.The twist in the tale was totally unexpected and made the film even more interesting. I guess when the story draws you in and you become immersed you are less likely to try and work things out and criticise but just let the story take you to the endpoint.I think I must be the only person in the reviews section that has given this a good review and I don't know why as the film was really rather good, apart from some plot holes; like who was the previous husband in the cupboard and why did the new guy not know about it or maybe he did as he had lost his memory and went along with it all because he did in fact love the main protagonist.

I was originally drawn to this film because the trailer was reminiscent of Steven King's "Misery, unfortunately, the trailer is the best thing about the film. This movie is so slow, and possibly feels even slower, because of the nonstop piano music that is used to drive the nonexistent tension. I have always wanted to watch a slasher film where the serial killer is a female, but Kate Bosworth completely missed the mark. Her clean and polished look, combined with her random "Snapple facts" are absolutely ridiculous. I painstakingly watched the rest of the movie hoping that the story would eventually bring some clarity, but the resolution is just as forgettable as the previous hour and a half.

OK, I gave this 10 as a response to those who were responsible for the 4.3 IMDb rating. You know who you are. An interesting, disturbing and creepy thriller about three people that get into an automobile accident: A couple and a girl (presumably the couple's daughter) are involved in an accident that renders the man (this character is not given a name in the move) an amnesiac. What follows is a creepy, sometimes violent and disturbing story with an excellent twist of an ending. Well acted with an excellent performance by Kate Bosworth. It is on Amazon Prime and worth a look if you like interesting thriller/horror films.
