Dr. Mason (Tim Torre) stems from a long line of seers and spiritualists
- a field that couldn't be more alien to him, and thus he has chosen to
become a psychiatrist instead. And he puts so much passion into his work
that his wife Cassie (Taylor Foster) starts to feel neglected - and yet he
seems to be immune to her pleas to not bring his work home. Mason has
become especially obsessed with his latest case, that of Oliver (Adam
Johnson), successful construction company owner who's on the verge of
losing everything as he has grown more and more unstable of late. Thing
is, Mason fails to get into Oliver's mind as he claims he has no memories
from before the age of 12 but every now and again surprises Mason with
talents he didn't even know he had (like knowing foreign languages or
being able to play the flute). Frustrated for not making any progress,
Mason tries hypnosis - to at first very astounding results, as Oliver
comes up with pretty vivid memories of the 1851 London's World Fair,
something he could naturally not have attended in person. At first, Mason
thinks Oliver's faking it, but soon Oliver's memories under hypnosis
become darker and darker, and thing is, soon Mason has dark visions
somehow linked to what Oliver tells him when under. And somehow it seems
whatever's wrong with Oliver is somehow linked to Mason's own bloodline
... Hypnotica sure enough isn't a film that tries to
explain everything away prematurely - in fact, it leaves the audience in
the dark about things just as much as its protagonist throughout. And
that's really a good thing, as the uncertainty of what's going on is the
key driving force for the film's tension and suspense. But what really
makes this work is that the lead gives very grounded performances upon the
pretty out-there plot and thus keep things relatable, while a genre-savvy
and atmosphere heavy directorial effort makes this a pretty cool piece of
horror cinema.
