Reincarnation goes horribly wrong releasing dark forces across time. Basia accesses parts of her mind that should never be tampered with. Past lives merge with present as her reality becomes distorted, she fights for her very existence.

I was not sure what to expect from this film but I was pleasantly surprised. The cinematography is stunning. The timeline is all mixed up and confusing but I like that stuff.If you like Mulholland Drive and films like Memento and Donnie Darko, this will be your cuppa tea. Not a cheap horror. Has a real Kubrick feel to it as well as other clear influences from the classics.A challenging watch but well worth it at the end. Kept me thinking for days after. If you are looking for something refreshing and different then this is a hidden gem.

I can't understand why this movie gets such a low rating...If you for example liked "I ORIGINS" it's possible you might like this one too. Though they might be quite different, these two movies contain a similar deeper message.I'm glad I ignored the low rating here on IMDb and watched it anyway.I especially liked the ending and the message that was given there. I don't agree with the comments against this movie, Maybe not for people who like typical Hollywood blockbusters... oh well.Give it a try you might be surprised

I got put off in this movie straight from the start by the ridiculous portrayal of the hypnosis session. Suspension of disbelief, I know it and even that didn't work, it was just too bad. At least do a little research.However, let that not spoil what can possibly a great movie. The soundscapes were ominous and promising and it looked like this film had an interesting structure, weaving past lives into the present. Unfortunately, the cuts ended up being too erratic, even arty jump-cuts need some sort of logic, even if it's dreamlike logic, but even dreams make more sense than the edits in this movie.One sure thing is that the filmmaker knows how to use a camera. There are some nice shots in the movie and there is a general line in the way the movie is told visually, so some kudos's for that.The acting is good, although after a while I was dreading the cuts back to real life, which were an exercise in various ways of screaming and acting crazy. Yes, sure, these are meant to portray the gradual decline and loss of reality of the protagonist but when gradual means 'shout a bit louder and act even crazier', it gets too much. I was almost happy with the ending in this case, which isn't a good thing.Overall, it seems the director took on a project where he could deliver the visual and auditory angle, but didn't put enough thought into the storytelling and directive side. Give this man a good scriptwriter and a bit more experience, and I'm sure we'll see a lot better things coming.

I didn't know what to expect from this film. And to be honest half way through i thought the same, but in a good way. Shot beautifully, a mysterious plot, the right amount of 'horror' elements to not distract from the film's arty purpose.It's quite hard for me to put this film into a particular genre, show's originality.Acting is commendable, some haunting and frigging weird performances that compliment some of the abstractness in the film.This isn't a Hollywood blockbuster by any means, but the cinematography is fantastic. Bright but haunting. Worth a second watch.
