Plot
A psychiatrist fails to help a mental patient during her stay in hospital. The doctor becomes obsessed with his former patient, seeks her on the outside and uses hypnosis to fulfill his sexual desires.
Sinekatalog’s take
A psychiatrist who failed one patient becomes fixated on her after she leaves the hospital and misuses hypnosis to get close. The subject matter is lurid and uncomfortable, so it fits viewers who tolerate dark erotic thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
