Cui mian da shi

I watched this on a recommendation from a friend; would otherwise have never heard about it. But boy, did it really draw me in and keep the engaged the whole way through. It was a small movie with few characters and mostly taking place in one room, but there is a lot going on beneath the surface and each revelation is masterfully crafted. Would definitely recommend to others as well.

This film tells the story of a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to treat a very difficult case, which is a woman who believes that she can see ghosts.

I heard good things about it, but I really did not expect "The Great Hypnotist"to be this good. To begin with, the topic of hypnosis is quite mysterious, which is a good setting for a thriller. The plot is engaging and suspenseful, especially the very unexpected twist happening in the middle. This twist doesn't feel contrived. Even though in retrospect there are telltale signs of the trust in the being, I just did not expect the twist coming. I'm very impressed by the plot. I very much enjoyed watching "The Great Hypnotist", as it's an unexpectedly good thriller.

Its really amazing movie which was hear by filmroll Youtube channel...a hypnoist decide to take a difficult case who is feel ghost presense..not only climax acrewnplay also stunning...really worth to watch..

I really loved from starting till end. It is engaging enough to hold anyone's attention and persuade one to watch till end. It is full of mystery and twisted story.

This evolves with a story of great therapist /hypnotist who usually handles most complex cases and a troubled woman who failed all attempts taken by several of therapist. The movie starts with hypnotist, digging past of woman. But, as soon as he commence his therapy, he started feeling something isn't right. Besides,she begins confusing him with his past and find his weak point. The hypnotism turns in wrong way in stead of curing her, he is falling in her traps.

So,what's happend to the woman? Who she really is?

This is a psychological thriller that not only entertains but also transports the audience into a narrative trance. With engaging direction and a multi-layered script, the film masterfully plays with the perception of reality and illusion, making the viewer question every detail of the story.

From the very beginning, we are introduced to Dr. Ruining Xu (Xu Zheng), a meticulous and skeptical psychiatrist specializing in clinical hypnosis. His confidence is challenged by Ren Xiaoyan (Karen Mok), a mysterious patient who claims to see ghosts. Their confrontation turns into a fascinating mental game, where each hypnosis session becomes a piece of a complex puzzle.

The film's greatest strength lies in the way its narrative unfolds, hypnotizing the audience with unpredictable twists and cinematography that reinforces the feeling of immersion. The dark color palette and the use of mirrors and reflections contribute to the dreamlike atmosphere, making each scene feel like a subconscious reverie. The subtle yet precise soundtrack intensifies this effect, guiding the viewer through a psychological labyrinth from which it is hard to escape.

The performances of Xu Zheng and Karen Mok are another highlight. Their on-screen duel is filled with tension and emotion, and their chemistry elevates the story to an even more engaging level. As Dr. Xu tries to maintain control of the situation, Ren Xiaoyan's enigmatic presence leads him (and us) into a spiral of doubts and surprising revelations.

Throughout the film, we are compelled to ask: what is real, and what is a construct of the mind? The Great Hypnotist not only answers this question but also makes the viewer feel hypnotized, lost in its layers of mystery. A stylish and intelligent psychological thriller that proves cinema can be a truly immersive experience.
