Another made for IFC movie, recommended again by Amazon. What is it with Amazon and IFC movies?

This is another one of those 'hey im a writer' movies where the 'writer' doesn't know who the heck he is or what the heck he is doing. All in all it's very predictable. Oh and the writer's girlfriend desperately wants to have a baby and start a family, yet even with a couple of 'sex' scenes thrown in there is no real R rating even in this one. Way too mild.

This is yet another movie that can be thrown in the 5 dollar or less bin at the Walmart.

3/10.

And IMDB has now made it so a review has to have 600 characters before it can be entered. I really don't expect that to last very long because people are sure to complain about it. But until that happens I guess we have to expect reviews to be long winded and sometimes about absolutely nothing to do with the show in question.

So the lead is battling his addiction (alcohol) with his new wife. He struggles with writing a new novel after great success with his first, written when he drank. Then, he starts to be plagued by intrusive phone calls and the sense of harrassment increases, interfering with their sleep, security in their home, and the lead's mental stability. This brings questions his sanity or maybe it's ghost! This leads to a serial killer! Everything is slow steps with questionable motivations for the lead and his behavior. Acting is passable, but with poor characterization and standard plotting with obvious twists, #unkown needs to remain that way, unknown.

This movie had so much potential. I can say honestly the acting is decent, but I expect so much more from Judd Nelson. He seemed bored in this movie. I love when he goes full method and kind of over acts. I suppose those days are over. I still love him as an actor. The movie was a good watch and I enjoyed it although I was hoping for more mystery and at least one good jump scare. I got nothing. I wonder was this suppose to be a thriller and not horror? The movie was hardly scary, it was suspenseful and the pacing was well. I wish the plot and storyline were not so predictable. I was able to predict the ending in the first 20 minutes.

Lets just say, I did not like this childlish screen play. Guy writes book, I guess some people buy it. So he is writing book number two about a KNIGHT, first featured in book number one. Really? When were knights in shining armor movies the latest thing? I guess in my 76 years, I forgot. Obviously, writer has drinking issues. When was the last time I saw a movie about a writer with dinking problems? That has been done ad infinitum. It will come to no surprise that I decided to stop watching after the woman said I want to have a baby for the upteen time to a former (yeah, right) drunk writer, with zero imagination. I say more but I may get lucky and guess the right conclusion. (I know of at least three movies with that same name.)

It was a very interesting and unique kind of horror movie. You won't be disappointed!
