Hypnotic
When her sister Gina recommends her hypnotherapist Dr. Meade (Jason O’Mara) to Jenn (Kate Siegel) for some self-help treatment, Jenn gets more than she hoped for. Right from the get go, it’s real obvious what the premise is, who the players are, & what their part is. It’s very much a by-the-book storyline. It’s everyone’s fear of being hypnotized, although unrealistic; being forced to do things you wouldn’t normally. Fortunately, real hypnotism doesn’t work like it does here on screen. I️ don’t have to tell you any more because you’ll know what’s next each time some small reveal is made. Dulé Hill plays that typical detective working on the case. Nothing much should come as a total surprise but if you enjoy the thrill of the tension & suspense, you may like the chase to catch the villain.
Alien gives it 2 “my love” stars out of 4.
