To start with IMDB need to adjust their synopsis of this movie, no way is it an horror movie, this was the only reason I watched it.

It's a mystery and thriller and that's about it.

I am going to give this Netflix movie a five star rating, while I did enjoy it, this movie had some real plot holes and some slap in the face scenes which could have been filmed better and tighter to make to movie more nerve racking.

The twists and turns more or less were done properly and left you guessing most of the way through, I also liked the way the film went back and forth from now and the past.

What I thought was a bit silly and could have been done better were scenes like the horse chase scene, some of the back and forth scenes near the end went on for to long.

I also have seen reviews in which some people wanted a better finish to the film, which I get.

This film also went from the doctor is the bad guy, no he's not, the young girl is. Sometimes this was done well, then sometimes you thought get on with it.

A mixed bag but I did enjoy it, would I watch it again, no I wouldn't, would I recommend it, no I don't think so.

Worth a watch.

With her mom in a coma, a young woman named Lina tries to come to terms with the events leading up to it, while her nurse tries to uncover the mysties surrounding the strange injuries to her body. I'd say this is a film that gets better the more you watch through it. I did feel however Anna fris seemed our of place. The nurse character iaent really part of the story and doesn't do anything to make it better but I like her as an actress so it's still nice seeing her. I feel bad for Jensen as she can't move her mouth fully anymore. I thought the mystery element was good though and if it were more gritty it could be even better.

In this movie Lina is adopted by Kathrine - her dead mother's best friend - to live in a mansion that represents all the luxury and glamour Kathrine is used to but recently lost, as upon her husband's death everything was inherited by Jamie - Kathrine's young stepson.

Will this strange family dynamic prevail or will it all turn into a tragedy?

The movie has good vibes but the story was not strong enough and felt like the characters tension wasn't played out well. It was lacking chemistry and often felt like they all had different ideas about how they should portray the characters.

It was anticlimatic, no big revelations or twists, everything was predictable and well, boring.

It felt like they tried too hard to make it scary or thrilling but failed at the attempt even though they had all these amazing scenery but ultimately failed to give it cinematic justice.

Former actress and Hollywood star Katherine wakes from a coma, but is unable to communicate, helped by Nurse Nicky Mackenzie, who tries to unlock the causes of her injury, only her daughter in law seems to have the answers.

Once again, it's curse of number one on Netflix, a movie that on paper should have been very good, but ultimately disappoints.

It's like one of those plush, but dodgy 1980's afternoon movies, if only Katherine had been given a Range Rover, Golden retrievers, a perm, spritz of Fidji, and a box of Terry's All Gold.

A tale of hidden passions, vengeance, loathing and dark secrets, it's hard to care for a single one of them, they're all awful people.

I didn't care for the storyline, or the over the top music, it all jars, it's so clunky.

Famke Janssen does a good job as Katherine, she plays the Lady or The Manor very well, but ultimately she is wasted, she's better than this.

What I want to know, why is this number one, who's actually watching this and enjoying it?

Poor, 5/10.

I had my hopes up when I saw this film was on the number one spot at my coutrys Netflix chart this week. I really like Famke Jansen, but why did she have to be apart of this production? With her charisma there should be better roles for her. She is too talented for this type of conveyer belt productions. The film in itself looks good, but it feels more like a long music video. The idea for the story is great, but it doesn't unfortunately take off. Boring and predictable story. Even the genre of Locked In should mystery, by it is impossible to find that. Maybe the mystery is why was this even done in first place.
