Mind Thief

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.

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 got to see this film at the Ojai film festival. I thought the story was engrossing and the mystery element kept me guessing. Mind Thief is the ultimate thriller that, true to its title, keeps your mind captive to its plot. Supported by a strong cast, the lead actress is captivating as an acrobatic author afflicted by writer's block. You really feel like you're in her shoes. It's a very compelling sci-fi thriller with dark comedy elements. It delves into themes of psychology about systems of control, both mentally and physically. This gets broken up by moments of humour, providing rich entertainment value.

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!

First the movie poster, a creative, but weird, cartoon, gave no clue as to what movie was about. I had never seen Angelique Pristorious before, and at first thought the lead actress was Mischa Barton. But wow, Angelique was great. And saw afterward that Angeliqu also wrote the movie. Her humor made the character a combination of air-head, but with common sense. A unique combination. Also Angelique was great at the physical comedy/stunts. And Angelique is H-O-T. Yes, suspend disbelief, but was fun not knowing who was good or bad. This movie is ripe for a sequel. As most of the characters, both good and bad survive.

Most of the actors were new to me. Which also lead to some suspense.
