Reviews
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
howlet-tim I was blown away by this movie, It was very well thought out and has some great production values from the jump. The first few scenes are particularly intense.I only watched the first 10 minutes, but thought if other people can review a movie after only watching 20 minutes I can go one better !worth watching for the slow build it has, and also for the twists and turns in it. It's isn't a fast paced action flick by any measure, but for psychological thrillers, this isn't a prerequisite.There is a lot to be said for choosing a slower progression in a movie as opposed to taking the quick return, action route that contains no substance. def worth hanging in for up to the ten minute mark anyway.
mina-magdy42 i don't write a lot of reviews actually , maybe because i am too lazy to waste some time writing on some stupid movie so i just rate it with 2 or 3 and move on . but when it comes to a good movie i became really happy to rate it with high rating because i admire the effort of acting and production . BUT THIS MOVIE made me bored to the point i didn't stand to the end of the movie because i really hated it !!! , it's just a repeated old story we watched it in a lot of movies i mean the visions which no one can see except the leading actor and all the mysterious bull sh** around the crime and all the spooky supporting actors who trying to mislead the viewer to think about who did the crime blah blah ...... well if u don't wanna be bored then simply don't watch it
Chris Dimoulas InSight is not a film that is easily forgotten nor brushed over. It starts off with some pretty extreme circumstances, we learn through fast cuts and dialogue that a girl named Allison Parks has been brutally attacked and we don't know why. Neither does the main character in the film, Kaitlyn, who plays one of the nurses trying to save Allison's life, as she is suffering from multiple stab wounds. Kaitlyn thinks for a moment that Allison is trying to communicate with her in some way, but before Kaitlyn can find out much, a defibrillator shocks Allison and she dies. The electricity travels through Allison's body and knocks out Kaitlyn, who then begins to see memories from Allison's life or so we are lead to believe for much of the film.The uniqueness of InSight is how in which the story is told. Methodically, as slowly we learn more and less at the same time. I imagine it's hard for an audience to piece together what is real and what is only in Kaitlyn's mind, and I imagine that's the whole point. We struggle as the main character does to try and figure out whether Allison's murder was a random killing or something more. Along the way we are introduced to a skeptical detective, Kaitlyn's sick mother, a sleazy psychiatrist, and Allison's ex-boyfriend, all of these characters add to the mystery. None of them confirm for the audience on which end of the spectrum the story will end. Whether or not this was just a random killing and Kaitlyn is just hallucinating these memories, or there's something more to this murder, and Kaitlyn is the only one who can figure it out.Richard Gabai directs this thriller in a way that allows the audience to piece-by-piece figure things out with the characters. By the end it's really up for interpretation what the truth is. If you see this with a friend, you will be discussing it long after the credits roll.
Tony Heck "She spoke to me, I think she was trying to tell me who stabbed her." When ER nurse Kaitlyn (Zea) is helping to try and save a young stabbing victim's life she begins to talk to her. Kaitlyn then begins to see the victim's memories and tries find the person who stabbed the young girl. This is a hard movie to review. The idea is actually pretty neat, the acting isn't terrible but the big problem is that it keeps repeating itself over and over. It seems like a 20 minute segment that they keep re-writing. That said I actually kinda liked it and it kept me interested the whole time. The only way to describe this is that it is a movie based off the TV show "Medium". If you liked that show then this is a movie for you. The best part hands down though is the twist ending and like some movies the ending actually makes you like the movie more then you would have. Worth watching for the ending. Overall, a very OK movie with a neat twist at the end. I give it a B.
