this is the type of movie I like, suspense and schizophrenia I think her parents setup the safehouse and drugged there kids so Elise killed her mother, and Milo her first boyfriend after her dad passed away she has the inheritance sorry for the lover Caleb that was killed by her what a trippy movie.

TLDR at the end. Starts off as a disjointed and dissociative nightmare of the most boring variety. The writing, the dialogue, the direction is all so stiff and objective. We don't get in any of the character's heads or perspectives until nearly the end, and by then it is far little too late. Halfway through, it becomes apparent that this movie wants to speak largely about trauma and mental health disorders that it is far too incompetent to really grasp. Jumping from Elise having an anxiety disorder straight to schizophrenia over any of the other numbers of disorders, including complex post traumatic stress disorder, which can absolutely cause the possible age regression and hallucinations and dramatic mood swings we see in our MC, is a wild misstep that sealed the coffin for me on the incompetence of this movie. There were no highlights in this steaming pile of dogshit for me, as any scene I might've enjoyed in a better movie was quickly ruined by the next, whether it seemed to ignore the most recent events or refuse to take them realistically in any way. By the end of the movie, I felt that we had, at best, reached a tragedy with our MC, a severely mentally ill and traumatized person surrounded by incompetent and plain stupid people. Caleb varied from an unlikable goofy manic pixie romance trope to a straight up menace when it came to handling his girlfriend's panic attacks and mental health episodes. The ending was entirely undeserved even still, for as much as I felt for Elise by the end, she hadn't done any work to actually overcome her trauma in the form of her father at all. She simply suffered and suffered while her pathetic boyfriend floundered with nary so much as a whiff of common sense in regards to helping her until she simply decided it was time to push her trauma away. Smaller complaint, but the visuals in this movie were also absolutely horrible. The strange lighting, the odd darkness and "deep frying" around her father's ghost, the stupid blue filter over her eyes at the end. Terrible. I'm willing to be lenient on cheaper made movies but these felt like poorly utilized stylistic choices that just did not work. TLDR; Overall, 0/5. Poor writing, poor direction, poor scene work, poor pacing. I couldn't even tell you how much of the acting was actually good or not because everything else about this movie was so poorly done. Save yourself the time and skip this.

At first I thought it was badly overacted, but by the end. . . I think the writing, particularly the dialogue, did the cast pretty dirty

Bad acting throughout. Not really even a horror.

Solid horror movie/thriller, I wasn't a huge fan of the memories of abuse and the rehab facility: that could have had a more compelling story behind it.
