There is a grub with hypnotic properties. Kris (Amy Seimetz) is attacked one night, and hypnotized using the grub by a thief. She follows his instructions to give him everything even taking out loans. After the worms are extracted, she wakes up to find her life ruined. She lost her job. Her finances are destroyed. Years later, she meets Jeff (Shane Carruth) who may have a lot in common with her.
This doesn't have much dialog. So please be aware before watching this. It can be challenging for some people. I have to say the first 40 minutes is riveting. It's a kind of an identity thief. After that, the movie loses some of the tension as the audience try to figure Jeff out. It's somewhat obvious but it takes a long time to get there. The big problem is how the movie is resolved. It's not very clear to me what happened with The Sampler. The movie is not always clear, but it really needs to be for the climax. Overall it's a fascinating little film for people who are willing to work at it.
