A Strange, Slow, Meandering Movie

This isn't as absolutely bad as some reviewers are making it out to be. To call it the worst movie ever made just shows that a person hasn't watched a lot of movies. Having said that - no, it's not especially good either. There are a few cringe-worthy moments contained within its hour and a half (but, yes, it did seem longer) but for the most part it just kind of meanders slowly along, with very little emotion or passion being shown by either Kate Bosworth or Wes Bentley, who both seemed to have little interest in what they were doing.

They play a married couple (I don't remember any names being used for them.) As the movie opens they're in a car driving down a highway, and there's a young girl (their daughter, you assume) in the backseat. Suddenly there's a horrible accident and the next thing you know the man wakes up in a dim, sparsely furnished bedroom, remembering nothing and being looked after by the woman. From there it, well, just kind of meanders slowly along. You know that something isn't right. Something's off; something's weird. I took a guess as to what was happening - and I was wrong. The eventual revelation of what was going on did catch me by surprise, and that gains the movie a couple of points from me. The ending, however, is bizarre. I have to admit that I just didn't really understand how the movie ended.

Bosworth's performance was a kind of combination of Nicole Kidman (the look especially) and eventually it blends in some of Kathy Bates' character from Misery. Bentley himself just never picked up any steam in his performance as far as I was concerned.

This isn't as horrible as some people make it out to be. But it is weird - which is compelling for a while, but in the end you leave it disappointed. (4/10)

Tedious

I'd have to say that most reviews here are spot on (as ever) apart from the obvious 'shill' (who even kindly reminds us it's on Amazon!) The film struggles throughout. Struggles for pace, coherence, atmosphere and most of all any scrape of originality. Even Nicole Kidman clone Kate Bosworth again shows she can't act for toffee as do the rest of the cast with alarming consistency. The film yearns to be Misery or any decent film of the Psycho Stalker genre but falls so far short it is funny. Bosworth's inaudible mutterings attempt to give a semblance of coherence to the dreadfully thin plot, the only convincing performance was the one from the cat who, in fairness delivered his 'miaows' with sublime skill and is the highlight of this dreary, poorly produced mumblefest.

worst film in history

I've set up an account just to rate this outrageously dull movie. Trust me do not waste your time. How it actually got made is beyond me. Really do not even waste your time. The 'twist' at the end is just as boring as the rest of the movie. I'm tempted to write to sky and ask for a refund. Ridiculous acting Ridiculous plot A complete waste of money I should have taken note of the other reviews and not even bothered with this movie............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .

I wish I had amnesia after watching this.....

I was originally drawn to this film because the trailer was reminiscent of Steven King's "Misery, unfortunately, the trailer is the best thing about the film. This movie is so slow, and possibly feels even slower, because of the nonstop piano music that is used to drive the nonexistent tension. I have always wanted to watch a slasher film where the serial killer is a female, but Kate Bosworth completely missed the mark. Her clean and polished look, combined with her random "Snapple facts" are absolutely ridiculous. I painstakingly watched the rest of the movie hoping that the story would eventually bring some clarity, but the resolution is just as forgettable as the previous hour and a half.

Amnesiac: If this movie begins playing on a screen in front of you, for the love of God, save yourself.

It's a badly written, directed, and acted rip off of Stephen King's Misery. At first you think the movie may be salvageable, probably deserves more than the two, to two and a half stars it was given...until you watch it. The acting by the stories main protagonist (Kate Bosworth) is dull to say the least. It's almost as if Bosworth tried so hard, her performance goes full circle, right back to mediocre. There's a calm demeanor in the character that you as the viewer are supposed to find intriguing, but again, it's far too over done to be anything short of annoying. She is a walking encyclopedia of Jeapordy answers. Which, is supposed to add to the mystery of the character and the plot, but in the end falls flat, because the plot fails to explain why. The general pace is so slow, the plot is so needlessly drawn out, that it begins to feel like more of a nuisance to sit through to the finish, rather than a thrill-ride.

There is a slight twist at the end of the movie, but it's not enough to carry the film above the two star rating.

I have nothing against Kate Bosworth, personally. But, if she ever decides to do another role like this, she needs desperately to seek acting lessons from Kathy Bates.

Worst movie I've ever seen

Dear IMDb user. Please do yourself a huge favor and do not watch this movie. It is 2 hours of your life you will never get back. It is the worst movie in the history of movies. Terrible acting, horrible content and horrifically slow. I usually do not write movie reviews but this movie was just so awful I just had to share my experience and vent. If you enjoy being annoyed by bad acting and an extremely slow moving film, then this is the movie for you. You will enjoy the many identical and frustrating scenes in this movie, and what drove myself insane might very well be of extreme entertainment to you. You have been warned.

So many holes in the story horrible movie

So many holes in the story. This movie tries so hard to be suspenseful and just fails completely falls flat. Please save yourself some time and don't watch it you will be happy. I thought that with the actors in this movie it would be a decent show... I was so very wrong. Wish I could get back the time I wasted watching this show. Tell your friends to not waste their time. They will thank you. Just does not make sense how things this movie tries to portray could happen. This is not a good story at all. So very flawed. You can see from the other reviews that it is just a waste of a movie and time. I really hope these actors chose a better movie to be in for their next project... wow just bad all the way around.

Don't be misled by the ratings!

OK, I gave this 10 as a response to those who were responsible for the 4.3 IMDb rating. You know who you are.

An interesting, disturbing and creepy thriller about three people that get into an automobile accident: A couple and a girl (presumably the couple's daughter) are involved in an accident that renders the man (this character is not given a name in the move) an amnesiac. What follows is a creepy, sometimes violent and disturbing story with an excellent twist of an ending.

Well acted with an excellent performance by Kate Bosworth. It is on Amazon Prime and worth a look if you like interesting thriller/horror films.

Dinner and a Movie and perhaps a Nibble

It's an excellent movie to watch when you have a dinner and a movie date with your partner; for the movie doesn't really demand your continuing focus, so you can take a sip, share a bite and perhaps make out a bit and guess what? You haven't missed a thing, the movie is rolling on its own groggy pace, still at pretty much where you left off. But the joke aside, this is a fine thriller/soft horror by Polish. Great filmography, splendid staging, suggestive lighting and good acting by all. Suspense at every turn without the need of road signs, you know it is crawling in on you, Closer at every tick!! There are cross worlds of movies you feel like you're in, as in Reiner's Misery, as in Amenâbar's The Other's. Miss Bosworth's costume and mannerism is very much of Nicole Kidmans, the cool tempered eerie you-know-something-not-quite-right-but-can't-take-my- eyes-off-her beauty who makes sure the sun stays out and darkness creeps in, along with the door knockers. Later on you see Kate's trivia quipping character transform from Nicole Kidman's loving care into Katie Bates' kind of loving. The ending is quite abrupt and not to the expectation you might've dreamt up to that point but hey, still is a good flick when you're multi tasking. Keep your eyes peeled my friends..

One of the worst movies ever!

Someone tell what the hell was Kate Bosworth thinking when she took such a role. First let me just say that, the movie was just awful. Kate and Wes are not great actors and to put them together was only a recipe for disaster. The story could have been told a whole lot better if number one, it had a better story premise of kidnapping and two, if the characters were more believable. Bosworth did her best in trying to convince the audience of being some detached and cruel woman who's bitterness and hate was kept behind a phony smile and loving way to Wes who was her husband. But in the end neither character brought enough convincing to their roles leaving me very upset that I burnt more than an hour of my life, watching one of the worst movies ever. Do yourself a favor watch the trailer, and then go watch something else, because this was just awful.

Frame-by-frame ruining of a promising story

Amnesiac is a bland psychological mystery thriller about a man who has met with an accident and unable to recollect the incidents. He then began suspecting that the lady claiming his wife may not be his real wife, triggering a series of twisted unfoldings. Although well acted, the movie feels strangely namby-pamby and suffers largely from its direction. The feature-length exceeds its short storyline. Admittedly, the story is the real gain from this mangled picture. It tries too hard to play with your predictive mind and twists them just before you think you got it. But there seems to be a clear lack of effort somewhere. Such crisp stories clamor for a much better presentation. If the director is clear about the genre(s) of the movie, it becomes a much easier task to provide the right amount of treatment to the movie, which, in this case, does not happen, stupefying expectations.

Awful does not even begin to describe this failure

I watched this movie and I wish I hadn't. That's one of the best things that could be said about this poor excuse for cinema. It's just so poorly done in almost every regard, that describing it still wouldn't do justice to how spectacularly it fails.

The poor excuse for a story was neither clever nor unique, and it made zero attempts are carving a new niche in the genre. It's Misery if it were written by the lady who wrote 50 Shades of Gray. It is just a wannabe of a much better film, with a horrible script and poor acting.

The actors are nice to look at (for the most part), but the casting was done solely as a superficial attempt to mask the inadequacies of everyone else involved. Putting pretty people in your lead only serves to highlight all of the other garbage hiding beneath the surface.

The movie tries so hard to be a mystery, a thriller, a horror movie, but it failed at every one. How could you fail so spectacularly when you have 3 distinct genres to choose from? There was no blood, no sex, no gore, and I counted one use of the F-bomb, but other than that, the movie was neither suspenseful of thrilling. I have seen more horrific events happen on television.

I just don't see whom this film was made for. It's too tame for horror fans, too sophomoric for mystery fans, and way to slow for fans of the thriller genre. So what were they thinking? They could have made this movie a bit more palatable if they didn't treat the audience like a bunch of sensitive babies. These days, it takes a lot to stand out in the horror genre. This movie will be forgotten, deservedly so, but it didn't have to be. It had everything going for it, and just decided to not make use of any of it. This was a phoned in effort, through and through, and I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone, regardless of how bored you may be.

A shame and a disappointment.

Forgettable

Unconscious also known as Amnesia and is a film easy to forget. There is a reason why the sets are sparse and beige to make it easier for you to not remember it. As the film goes on you will end up recalling Misery as Kate Bosworth moves from being a Nicole Kidman clone to a Kathy Bates one.

Wes Bentley is involved in an auto-mobile accident and wakes up suffering from memory loss and a woman (Bosworth) claiming to be his wife but he starts to suspect that she may not be his real wife. The man has hazy memories of a little girl and soon finds that he is being held prisoner in the house as the woman increasingly goes berserk.

The film is a slack psychological horror, the story is too thin and the ending is abrupt.

A Twisted Web of Memory and Manipulation

"Amnesiac" delves into the disorienting world of a man who awakens with no memory, trapped in a house with a woman claiming to be his wife. The film quickly establishes a chilling atmosphere of uncertainty and psychological unease, leaving both the protagonist and the audience to question the nature of his reality.

At the heart of this unsettling narrative is the compelling and often perplexing behavior of the wife, portrayed by Kate Bosworth. From the moment the amnesiac protagonist opens his eyes, her actions are a constant source of intrigue and suspicion. She presents herself as a caring and devoted spouse, yet there are subtle cues and unsettling inconsistencies in her demeanor that prevent full trust. Her responses to his confusion, her explanations of their shared past, and her control over his environment create a pervasive sense of doubt. Is she genuinely trying to help him recover, or is there a more sinister agenda at play? Bosworth skillfully navigates this ambiguity, portraying a character whose every gesture, every word, can be interpreted in multiple, often contradictory, ways. Her seemingly gentle care can quickly shift to an unnerving firmness, keeping the audience on edge and constantly questioning her true intentions.

The film thrives on this psychological cat-and-mouse game, where the protagonist's desperate search for truth is met with a carefully constructed narrative. "Amnesiac" is a suspenseful journey into the fragility of memory and the terrifying possibilities of manipulation, leaving viewers to unravel the twisted reality alongside its confused hero.

Don't waste your time!

This could be one of the worst movies I have ever seen, and one of the biggest wastes of time. There are no names given to any of the characters other than one, whom you don't meet until the last 25 minutes. Throughout the movie, the plot is very repetitive: man wakes up groggy, goes downstairs where he shouldn't, wife tells him to rest, he is punished. The story line could not be more predictable. Along with tragic cinematography, the lighting never changes and there is rarely focus on anything. Overall this movie made me want to be the amnesiac.

Meh.

Always a pleasure to watch Wes Bentley who I would like to push into the bushes for about ten minutes, and Bosworth is pretty AND creepy in this flick. I learned a lot from her fact quoting. That is all.
