This is one of these movies who never reached cinemas or even local TV channels.I'll be honest, I initially got the movie because of Sasha Grey and watched it 2017. Movie is from 2014 for reference. Sasha stared for 2 minutes total. I know there is a bigger and deeper story behind this movie but I just don't like it. It's a story for a girl with serious mental disorder who goes into the tower with the highest suicidal rate to live with other people with mental disorders. Random stuff happens all the time and no one remembers nothing. There are talking dogs, elevators and other talking objects. Total no sense.*random people getting electrocuted all the time*The movie is dark, not like a dark "dark", just the picture is dark. Directors love to make dark movies in order to use less visuals.But there is plenty of visuals at later point. The effects remind me of the movies from late 90's. So at the end some of the patients of the tower become superheroes lead by their disorders and there is a fight. I didn't paid much attention here since I was totally bored to death from the first 1 hour movie.If you have epilepsy don't watch this movie.If you have some weird fetishes (or want to have some weird fetishes) you have to watch THIS right now!

I found this flick while screening random trailers online and boy howdy did it peak my interest. The Scribbler (2014) from the trailer is the sort of film that makes you want to see it simply because you're not quite sure what the hell it was you just watched, and you want some more. (Also, I will watch anything with Garret Dillahunt. The man's great in everything.) Then you see the cast (Katie Cassidy, Garret Dillahunt, Michelle Trachtenberg, Michael Imperioli, Eliza Dushku, Gina Gershon, and Sasha Grey) and you say to yourself "This movie will either be the next thing I drive my friends crazy to watch or I will want to forget it ever happened." So, how did I like this movie? Keep reading, slacker.Based on the graphic novel created by Dan Schaffer (who also adapted the screenplay), The Scribbler is as follows, Suki (Katie Cassidy), a young woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder, has been using a treatment called The Siamese Burn to kill off her multiples one at a time. It's a trippy form of electro shock which can be self administered with a portable version of the machine. ('Cause that's a good idea.) After much improvement, Suki is placed in a living facility for recovering mental patients who can live on their own while under observation. There she is met by a menagerie of interesting female characters each with an interesting quirk. Suki also starts up a "friendly" relationship with the buildings resident Lothario, Hogan (Garret Dillahunt). Cured from his condition, Hogan decided to stay longer so he could swoon the ladies who come in and out of the facility, until that is, that they begin falling to their deaths one by one. Taken in for questioning, Suki begins to struggle with her most puzzling multiple, The Scribbler. A personality that communicates only through writing, The Scribbler begins to act erratically cryptic, forcing Suki to wrestle with the idea that her last treatment could possibly erase her real personality leaving The Scribbler to take over. There is a ton more but I don't want to give away too much. (And if I tried to explain it my ears might start to smoke.)

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.

Can be deceiving or just what they are ... in this case, you have to decide what they are. Based on a comic (which I haven't read), this has a different approach to some things, though it still has a predictability to it. What makes it better than some other movies in that genre, is that it did manage to get a stellar cast. You do believe those people, especially the female lead.And while there is a lot of suspension of disbelief, it still is grounded in its themes. It's about loneliness, about life and death, things all have to face at one point or another. Which make the movie more accessible of course. Visually stunning with a few flaws, but if you like Science Fiction with a detective plot mixed into it, you'll like this
