Plot

A psychotherapist journeys inside the mind of a comatose serial killer in the hopes of saving his latest victim.

Sinekatalog’s take

Visually extravagant to a fault, this thriller drops a therapist into a killer's dreamscape, where surreal imagery overwhelms a standard chase plot. Come for the painterly nightmares, not the story, and it delivers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
