The plot: Determined to find his missing daughter, Detective Danny Rourke finds himself spiraling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending crimes. Aided by Diana Cruz, a gifted psychic, Rourke simultaneously pursues and is pursued by a lethal specter, the one man he believes holds the key to finding the girl.
The Hypnotic Movie was Garbage.
Pros: Ben Affleck did work hard with his facial expressions reacting to what’s happening around him on screen and some of the scenes do feel like those giant Hollywood film sets to me.
Cons: They didn’t take the time to develop the story, characters that well. The chemistry between Danny, Diana and Dellrayne is lacking any sense and not believable. The Plot itself is messy and nothing makes sense and the special effects don’t look that good.
