A Psychological Movie
keithomusic9 June 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Spoiler Alert: Not really a thriller, but there is some tense atmospheric moments, scary but not frightening. There are a lot of flashbacks, and that creates a bit of confusion, which I think helped the atmosphere, but also annoyed. Overall the movie is good, and kept my interest until just before the end. There is a twist that I did not expect and was surprised by it. But there is a scene near the very end that instantly reminded me of the end of the movie "Audition", and that just turned me off, luckily it didn't last long. There are a few scenes of self-harm, which I couldn't watch, they were short but disturbing. And the streaming version that I watched had some poorly translated subtitles here and there, not much, but I think I missed an important plot point because of that. It's a good atmospheric psychological movie, but not great.

Audition TV Film Version
fabiofrost21 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
I was very disappointed by this film especially for the first 30/40 minutes which are very interesting, but unfortunately when you have to start summarizing and giving some explanation the film is lost in confused vague explanations or on certain things that happen the explanations It does not give them to her and this for someone can be a value but for me it is a flaw because in my opinion this thing is made on the mail precisely because otherwise then the film could have been too similar to an other more important films and then it was decided To leave many unexplained things, some things are explained but we are not enough to say it because we have been mistreated as a child, in practice 10 seconds of explanation only in the end so it is too little, the film in my opinion deserved a 5 but do 1 because not I like when the directors adopt certain games in the script to try to stand out from other films, in my opinion you have to make your movie and that's it, then the paranormal question there and there is true and tangible because the protagonist does things actually impossible from Doing for a normal person, but the director still tries awkwardly to continue to keep them mysterious, but I want to say but if the protagonist makes things to say the least incredible as when he speaks to the tel with an advertising switchboard what sense to continue, perhaps it is a witch perhaps No, maybe it's possessed maybe not, so I feel made fun of, and as if I see Superman flying but during the film the director sometimes tells you is a superhero with powers while other times he tells you no is a normal person (but As it is normal, I saw him fly !!!!) Then so much to say another you don't even understand the modus operandi of these evil because and totally confusing it demonstrates the fact that many people who fall into their target come inexplicably I save I would even dare forgotten, then the film begins with a narrative line and then moves on a duck it seems that the second half does not hit anything with the first half, as I see it the director has taken excellent actors, but one History already seen that, however, is managed to make interesting in the first part, unfortunately in the second part for fear of doing something already seen many things chosen to leave them without explanation and others to chosen to explain them in a confusing way !! If he would have chosen the simplest way in my opinion it would have been a good movie, they also eight torture seem to be the bad copy of audition.

Eerie psychological/supernatural thriller
dongillette12 December 2020
Takes a while to get into it, but once you do, you'll be engrossed. The main character is a very strange young woman--with a very strange background--who believes she's possessed by a ghost. And she may be, we never really know that for certain. The film vacillates between a psychological thriller and a supernatural suspense drama but the viewer's never really sure which one they're watching. There are no cheap jump-thrills, no overt scares, but there's a distinct "uncomfortableness" that surrounds the entire thing. You might find it slow, you might find it difficult to get in to, but it's well worth the hour and a half to watch it. The resolution is great.
