Story Dr Miranda Grey (Berry) is a well respect psychologists at a asylum, but on a detoured trip home on a stormy night she sees a woman in the middle of the road, she approaches the woman and the next thing she remembers is being in the very asylum she works only as a patient now.
Miranda is accused of murdering her husband and fellow Doctor Douglas Grey (Dutton). She has no memory of the night and only two people to communicate with a fellow patient Chloe (Cruz) and old work colleague Dr Pete Graham (Downey).
Still being haunted by a mysterious woman is she trying to communicate with Miranda; can Miranda uncover the truth before it’s too late?
Verdict This horror thriller mystery is a good addition to the genre without being one of the best, it follows the basic horror thriller rules very well with predictable jumps and twists. The three big names never really shine to the level we all know they can. This is well worth a watch if you like the genre.
Story Mark 7/10 Tried and tested formula works well
Horror Mark 7/10 Simple scares never really scary though
Favourite Character None of the characters are really that likable
Poor Performance I’m not going to say poor but I would say I would have liked more from Berry and Downey Jr.
Best Part The reveal flashback to the night is good
Worst Part Clear twist you can see from a mile away
Best Quote Chloe ‘You can’t trust someone who thinks your crazy’
Similar Too – The Ring, The Grudge
