Tale

After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, a psychiatrist becomes increasingly convinced she is being threatened by an uncanny entity.. A couple of days before the September 30, 2022 release, actors from the film showed up at various baseball games, sitting behind home plate dead still and smiling while staring into the camera, unmoving despite fans in the audience being understandably concerned, while wearing Smile shirts. At approximately 31 min in, Rose breaks a glass when her alarm goes off.

Rose Cotter: What are you?

When the glass is shown at her feet she is wearing socks. A few seconds later as she is checking the door she is wearing lace-up shoes. Based on what happens later at a party later, there are several continuity issues that may not be "mistakes" but may actually be deliberate in order to show "breaks" in Rose's consciousness/sanity..

Decent acting, good cinematography, tight editing and engaging direction

Sosie Bacon plays an incompetent therapist who mutters platitudes and stands about doing precisely nothing while bad things happen to her patients.After demonstrating her inability to administer basic first aid to anyone within a fifty mile radius, she catches a case of the spooks. The spooks then follow her around being all creepy and not doing much, perhaps as an ironic form of mockery. None of the characters, supernatural or otherwise, seem to be any good at their jobs.This is dimwitted nonsense, but it's excellently produced.

It's a good time, despite the braindead characters, copy-paste writing, appalling dialogue and endless cliches

It's an amusing and occassionally effective pulpy jumpy horror – a highly polished turd that is so shiny you stop noticing the smell.Worth a watch, once, just for fun.
