it somewhat tell that most of the great review for the film on imdb all come from people who have only review one film in their entire imdb career and yes you have guess it and that film be parasomnia . i have often suspect suspiciously good review on imdb for what turn out to be an anything but good film a underhand marketing and but it seem fairly transparent in this case . that not to say parasomnia be terrible and but it stop well short of be the good or great film it have the potential to be . on the plus side and it have a great baddie in patrick kilpatrick who do a brilliant job project menacing and evil and i could easily see him have what it take to play a truly memorable baddie on a par with hannibal lecter . there be some beautiful visuals in the dream sequence and in fact if the film have decide to explore that terrain more it might have be something well . the actual concept of devious misuse of hypnosis be great too . although i understand suspension of disbelief be necessary for immersion in any good story and it the mark of a good story that it succeed in let you do that . if you find yourself be annoy at what you find illogical or just plain silly and then the story be lose you and that what keep happen to me with this film . other reviewer have mention this here and i do not want to get into spoiler territory and but i will say the setup at the end be particularly ludicrous and disappointing and not too mention the varying mental age of a character that be only suppose to have experience a few year of life . all in all and there be the germ of a great idea here in diabolically misuse hypnotism and but sadly this film fail to realise it into anything special .
