College professor Austin (David Gaffney) has everything going for him,
a good reputation on the campus, the prospect of a science grant, and a
lovely fiancée, Audrey (Marissa Hall), whom he's going to marry this summer. Then though he becomes the subject of a mesmerizing (= form
of hypnosis) experiment conducted by one Miss Voyich (Julia Matias) as part of
a project of one of his friends (Robert Taminga), and his life changes: He
becomes obsessed with his friend's project, neglects his own work and his
fiancée alike, and doesn't in the least care about his science grant
anymore. Thing is, Miss Voyich has Austin under her spell, and she has
fallen in love with him - and eventually, during their experiments, with
him in a state of trance, she has sex with him too. When he finds out
though that Ms Voyich's interest in him is more than just scientific and
she has taken advantage of him (or raped him) while he was under her
influence, he breaks up with her and abandons the whole project - which Ms
Voyich doesn't like one bit, and since she still has hypnotic power over
him, she makes him do horrible things, from blowing all his lectures to
beating up a friend to killing one of his students. However, Austin has a
contingency plan, and he teams up with his friend Charles (David Akin),
the previous subject of Ms Voyich's attentions, and the two go after Ms
Voyich, figuring she can't bring them both under her power all at once.
Ultimately, Ms Voyich makes Austin kill Charles, but that doesn't save her
own life anymore ... In the end, Austin - no idea why he wasn't arrested
for killing both Charles and Ms Voyich - marries Audrey, only to then
notice she might be possessed by Ms Voyich ... Rather boring
paranormal thriller that rarely rises above TV-movie level stylistically
and seriously lacks originiality on a narrative level. Add to this an at
best so-so cast, and you are left with maybe not the worst film ever, but
still a movie you don't really want/need to see.
