Thing is, the seance goes totally haywire as they get in touch with a ghost from the past who has also lost his child. But somehow this ghost from the past reaches out for them to drag them into his sordid and violent story ... and as a matter of fact, it might be that he has actually sacrificed his son ...<p>It's 1979, and Alex (Jon Stoley) receives a visit from his ex Jill (Katya Greer), who's really worried about him despite the fact that she has a court order that he can't see his son anymore and despite the fact that he has turned violent on her. Since he can't no longer see his son, he has turned to the occult and has gradually become obsessed with it, and these days he's in a sorry state, as he seems to be seeing and hearing things of late. But the truth is much more horrible, might involve sacrificing a child ... and somehow it seems Kate (who wasn't even born in 1979) has to do with it ...<p> <p>Made quite obviously on a tight budget and thus featuring only a handful actors and locations and rather basic special effects, <b>Amnesiac</b> is the little movie that could, making up for its fiscal shortcomings by a great and greatly structured story, a more than competent cast and a directorial effort that gets the most out of its limited sets without ever overdoing it or becoming cheap spectacle. And the outcome is one very intelligent but also very creepy piece of supernatural horror.<p>Totally recommended! <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top" height="1%">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2013"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
