Best movie of this year hands down!
An Exercise In Nonsense
Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Richard is a seriously paranoid young man who has been getting in and out of mental hospitals. He hears voices all the time and he thinks his family has been killed and replaced by imposters. His father would like him to be hospitalized again ASAP, but his mother insists that the best place for him to be cured is home. On the thirteenth day of Christmas, just after some family friends have departed, Richard finally loses it completely and....This is a well-made low-budget shocker that effectively portrays homicidal madness and paranoia, aided by John Wheatly's tour-de-force performance as Richard. Yet, it feels misplaced in the "Time For Murder" series, as it has nothing to do with the mystery genre; it is just a disturbing study of a disturbed mind. Recommended only for horror fans, really. *1/2 out of 4.
