Short, campy and fun

The Hypnotist is a short (a little less than half the length of a feature film) movie about three estranged siblings who are forced to live together in order to collect their inheritance. Things come to a head when one of them hires a doctor to treat their mother. The Hypnotist is not a good movie, but neither is it exactly a bad movie. The plot and dialogue are ludicrous and the acting is egregiously over the top but all of that lends the movie a great deal of charm. Wikipedia defines camp as a style that "that regards something as appealing because of its bad taste and ironic value." And that is what this movie does in spades. As long as you don't attempt to take it seriously, The Hypnotist is a lot of fun. But if you're wanting a "straight" movie, you would best be served looking elsewhere.
