Hypnotic (2023)
1/10
Giving this one, one star
17 April 2024
First for wasting my hour and a half. Second for fooling me with a developing premise that raised my initial low expectations of likely being bored by the old obsessive father looking for his missing daughter routine, to something with the promise of being more interesting. And thirdly for deserving it by dashing those hopes by making a total hash of it with a not so surprising denouement I saw coming like an overburdened freight train climbing laboriously up hill with chugging gusts of steam and an unnecessary announcing whistle that was really more of a tired, worn out wheeze.

No surprise then that this film lost a literal fortune. Of a magnitude that buries careers, and causes studios after bankruptcy to reinvent themselves as amusement parks.
