Per chance, I stumbled over The Scribbler. The cinematography is very well done and the atmosphere etc. reminded me a little of The Fight Club, but after half an hour or so I was more and more detached and in the end even bored. What happened!? I guess for me the switch between the mental illness and thriller theme to the supernatural-whatever just didn't work. On top, the mid section of the movie felt overstretched to me and with too much filling material, it's like a record with a few really good songs but the rest is just fillers. In my view, the material of the story is for certain interesting and got potential but even if you got good and tasty ingredients sometimes if you put them together they just don't work out well together. Btw - someone remembers The Million Dollar Hotel (2000) with Gibson and Jovovich by Wim Wenders!? Well, you won't get superheroes there but you get also a building filled with weird characters and murder etc. Well, I will re-watch The Million Dollar Hotel - thx to The Scribbler!Anyway, the aficionado of the unusual and weird may dare a look.

What can I say about this movie that "wow" won't sum up. This is a great movie with amazing pacing and interesting characters. The setting is dirty and broken, and the supporting cast is too. The story follows the life of Sookie as she tells the tail of what happened upon moving into an assisted living apartment in order to transition back into regular life. This story will draw you in and keep you watching from beginning to end. The movie is adapted from a graphic novel of the same name, but having not read it I can't say if this movie followed the source material well.I can say that some detail was put into doing a little research on the mental illnesses shown in the movie. It's not perfect in it's depiction, but close enough to suspend disbelief. This is a must see if you like sci-fi suspense, and creative characters.

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.

I don't usually review films as they are very subjective and everyone seems to expect something different but this was getting so much negativity that I thought it deserved some recognition.I came across this while looking through a list of Sci-fi films but this is not Sci-fi. There is an element of that genre but it's mostly about one persons struggle with certain elements of her character which I found fascinating. What I liked mostly where the images and symbolism that made this film resonate with me very deeply. It's a film that makes you think, some people just don't like to do that so they are dismissing it because they just didn't 'get it'. In places the acting could have been a little better and a couple of pieces in the storyline where a little 'clunky', I agree with that but mostly the style and cinematography made up for it.I liked the way it was played out, I liked the characters, I liked the story line and I loved the way it ended which was unexpected. The story was interesting in a way that I did not expect too after reading other reviews and especially after reading the synopsis but it was very well handled overall. If you like films like Memento and Reservoir Dogs (for the story lines not the action), I think you would enjoy this, somebody else said this could become a cult classic and I totally agree, well worth watching !
