The Scarapist

Don't waste your time. Pointless. Lacks a storyline. It tried hard with the deep voice 😲 but failed at its own attempt. Ridiculous.

Prime always knows what I need to watch when i can't sleep but unfortunately for me this kept me up all night. A great example that you don't need a big budget to make a successful film. Good actors and a thrilling plot, The Scarapist is a winner and the friction between the novelist, therapist and the disturbed patients was exiting and fast paced. Glad to have watched another underrated film on here.

I love Katy Colloton and she's never looked better but the movie feels unfinished, like it's just roughed out, almost as if there are no connections, no joints. The story is about a therapist who abuses her power over her patients when she hypnotizes them. It starts out intriguing but becomes a letdown.

Not a traditional film. Groundbreaking in its approaches. A mosaic of moments that make up trauma and suspense. Excellent performances from Jeanne Marie Spicuzza and R. Michael Gull. Harkens German Expressionism and late Italian Neorealism. A combination of silent, noir and art house. Holds attention to the end.

This movie is showing up in my feeds, so despite the release date, it caught my attention. Now I can see why. It's definitely original. I was actually surprised by the maturity and depth of the performances, especially Spicuzza. The music and and visual look of the film drew me in and held me there. Looking forward to more work by this director.
