Mind Thief

Many reviews of this film on IMDB are fake; same date, only one review from the author. This is for both the good and bad reviews.

What starts off as a Hallmark-esque sunny romp, slowly but surely leads to darker waters. And the end is quite unexpected and a bit disturbing.

Well acted, well filmed, despite the obvious budget restrictions, and competently delivered. There are a few weak performances, but they do not detract from the overall experience.

While it's no masterpiece, it does what it does well, and does not pretend to be anything other than a comedic murder mystery.

Sunday afternoon on the sofa.

I saw this in theaters during a premiere and wow!! I didn't know what to expect but I was blown away. This film keeps you guessing at every turn. The cinematography is impressive, the writing impeccable, it's just so well done. What I love is that you think you understand what's going on, until something new gets thrown into the mix.

Mind Thief is extremely unique and special and you have to enjoy being confused to love this film. Part of the charm is how quirky the characters are!

I love a film that makes me laugh, and cringe, and go "huh??" overall it's a fun and mind bending film so if you're looking for a new favorite, try Mind Theif!

I actually really enjoyed this one. It starts off pretty chilled, but then this complex and intertwined tale unfolds that kept me engaged throughout. I'm a huge fan of mystery and syfy and this film is a great combination of both genres, plus I had some real laugh out loud moments too. The director knows how to create and maintain suspense and uses it really well throughout the film. You think you know where the movie's going, but you get these twists and turns that end up being a very fun ride. The acting was phenomenal by the lead actress, I remember her from Black Sails. And the baddie too. Their grounded and authentic performances makes the craziness happening in the world around them that much more relatable and truthful. The ending was a complete shock to me, one I definitely didn't see coming. If you feel like a nice little indie film I highly recommend it!

Hello! What a brilliant cast and incredible story telling by all.

It is rare that a film can combine genres so easily being comedic in moments but also keeping you on the edge of your seat. It reflects in a very accessible way, deeper issues that we deal with in day to day life where we are thieved by our ever evolving technologies and highjacked by our own pleasure.

The score is balanced and adds the perfect touch to what could've been unnecessary drama.

The film is well cast and Angelique P is a STAR.

Right until the very end you are kept guessing as to what will be the fate of all the characters.

Novelist Christine Wilde is struggling with her latest book. Unable to write she starts to notice strange things going on around her. People are acting strangely and she feels compelled to get to the bottom of it. In the process she uncovers a plot, involving mind control experiments, which put her in danger of being killed or becoming a killer!

I thought this was rather fun. It probably helped that I had no real idea what to expect. Early on a light tone is set with comic moments; the way our protagonist writes while hanging upside-down from the ceiling tells us this isn't going to be too serious. Once the mystery starts it is intriguing and far from obvious what is going on... has she discovered a conspiracy, is she imagining things or is it something else altogether? The cast, led by Angelique Pretorius as Christine do a solid job, keeping the balance of humour and drama just the right side of being silly. While there are some moments of violence they aren't too disturbing, in fact some are done in a way more likely to elicit laughs than shock. Overall I thought this was a decent film; not a must watch but I thought it passed the time well enough.
