I've set up an account just to rate this outrageously dull movie. Trust me do not waste your time. How it actually got made is beyond me. Really do not even waste your time. The 'twist' at the end is just as boring as the rest of the movie. I'm tempted to write to sky and ask for a refund. Ridiculous acting Ridiculous plot A complete waste of money I should have taken note of the other reviews and not even bothered with this movie............................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .

Someone tell what the hell was Kate Bosworth thinking when she took such a role. First let me just say that, the movie was just awful. Kate and Wes are not great actors and to put them together was only a recipe for disaster. The story could have been told a whole lot better if number one, it had a better story premise of kidnapping and two, if the characters were more believable. Bosworth did her best in trying to convince the audience of being some detached and cruel woman who's bitterness and hate was kept behind a phony smile and loving way to Wes who was her husband. But in the end neither character brought enough convincing to their roles leaving me very upset that I burnt more than an hour of my life, watching one of the worst movies ever. Do yourself a favor watch the trailer, and then go watch something else, because this was just awful.

I'd have to say that most reviews here are spot on (as ever) apart from the obvious 'shill' (who even kindly reminds us it's on Amazon!) The film struggles throughout. Struggles for pace, coherence, atmosphere and most of all any scrape of originality. Even Nicole Kidman clone Kate Bosworth again shows she can't act for toffee as do the rest of the cast with alarming consistency. The film yearns to be Misery or any decent film of the Psycho Stalker genre but falls so far short it is funny. Bosworth's inaudible mutterings attempt to give a semblance of coherence to the dreadfully thin plot, the only convincing performance was the one from the cat who, in fairness delivered his 'mioaws' with sublime skill and is the highlight of this dreary, poorly produced mumblefest.

Amnesiac (2015) is a dark, eerie, and suspenseful thriller to say the least. It has that Stephen King's "Misery" vibe going for it in a huge way, but better. This movie has a beautiful twist beyond what is expected; great story. The film setting is the type I enjoy, faded and more old school era sort of a 50's styling; beautiful for such a film. The acting is impeccable and holds the reality within the characters keeping the movie feeling alive and more on a real world versus an in cinema vibe.

I tend to not watch a whole lot of horror now days as most are poorly put together and become more the T&A blood gore than anything as this film doesn't. Amnesiac has that dark intelligent intent that drives the story and film all at once and I find it truly refreshing to experience it. Great film for it's genre.

It's an excellent movie to watch when you have a dinner and a movie date with your partner; for the movie doesn't really demand your continuing focus, so you can take a sip, share a bite and perhaps make out a bit and guess what? You haven't missed a thing, the movie is rolling on its own groggy pace, still at pretty much where you left off. But the joke aside, this is a fine thriller/soft horror by Polish. Great filmography, splendid staging, suggestive lighting and good acting by all. Suspense at every turn without the need of road signs, you know it is crawling in on you, Closer at every tick!! There are cross worlds of movies you feel like you're in, as in Reiner's Misery, as in Amenābar's The Other's. Miss Bosworth's costume and mannerism is very much of Nicole Kidmans, the cool tempered eerie you-know-something-not-quite-right-but-can't-take-my- eyes-off-her beauty who makes sure the sun stays out and darkness creeps in, along with the door knockers. Later on you see Kate's trivia quipping character transform from Nicole Kidman's loving care into Katie Bates' kind of loving. The ending is quite abrupt and not to the expectation you might've dreamt up to that point but hey, still is a good flick when you're multi tasking. Keep your eyes peeled my friends..

So many holes in the story. This movie tries so hard to be suspenseful and just fails completely falls flat. Please save yourself some time and don't watch it you will be happy. I thought that with the actors in this movie it would be a decent show... I was so very wrong. Wish I could get back the time I wasted watching this show. Tell your friends to not waste their time. They will thank you. Just does not make sense how things this movie tries to portray could happen. This is not a good story at all. So very flawed. You can see from the other reviews that it is just a waste of a movie and time. I really hope these actors chose a better movie to be in for their next project... wow just bad all the way around.

Dear IMDb user. Please do yourself a huge favor and do not watch this movie. It is 2 hours of your life you will never get back. It is the worst movie in the history of movies. Terrible acting, horrible content and horrifically slow. I usually do not write movie reviews but this movie was just so awful I just had to share my experience and vent. If you enjoy being annoyed by bad acting and an extremely slow moving film, then this is the movie for you. You will enjoy the many identical and frustrating scenes in this movie, and what drove myself insane might very well be of extreme entertainment to you. You have been warned.

This film had me intrigued throughout the whole thing. Here we have our dread villain, Kate Bosworth, as the 'Woman' (who had a great performance) who does these atrocious actions against the protagonist. All the while you are witnessing the most INEPT of all detectives/police. Throughout the whole film I had a feeling it was coming. I knew she was going to get away. I decided this the moment they had dinner. So the Woman goes Kathy Bates, Misery-like, and inflicts her brutality on her husband for the audience. The whole film. I get it. She is crazy and he is the victim.

Then it all comes full circle. So the Woman wants to have children. She is crazy. Our tormented protagonist frees himself, saves a girl caged up (who freed herself and is now in a bathtub) from drowning by the Woman and knocks her out.

Here is what gets me. When the twist comes I just kept saying 'no no that is not what they are doing.' Yup, that's exactly what they did. See, of course, both of them were in on the whole kidnapping bit. Idiot male protagonist goes along with said crazy wife to kidnap a girl, for money for her treatments, to help her have a child. Husband decides that he doesn't want to do this (um, too late) and they get into the car wreck that was established at the beginning of the film. So they are both wrong, quite obviously.

Then here comes the worst bit. Idiot detective pins all of this on the husband. Considering it is obvious he was drugged and beaten. Wife, as we know, killed an innocent mailman and a police officer and, of course, she is nowhere to be found. Epilogue closes with crazy wife being the husband's nurse at the hospital (zero sense). Wife gets away free so she can continue her torture spree.

What really gets me is that this whole film had this woman dominance thing going. It was like it was gratifying to constantly watch a man being gagged and tortured at the Woman's whim. The film was saying, 'Ya, this is okay for a woman to do this to a man. A man is getting tortured. There must be some reason why because men are horrible and do all of the worst crimes imaginable. OH, it looks like he was just an accomplice.' (Still an accessory, of course).

What an awful waste of time, effort and money by all involved!...I am also thoroughly disappointed and can't believe this has been rated so high on here??... The mind boggles?! Kate Bosworth's attempt of playing the in control nut-case is honestly enough to send the most mentally sound person into a full psychotic break...I can honestly say while watching this pointless train wreck of a movie I must have thought of 100 ways to torture Kate Bosworth!!!...and then her performance became contagious as Wes Bentley basically started mirroring the same features... Bloody ridiculous!!! I still cant believe this movie has seriously been released???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO do not bother to watch!!!! Basically my advice is to slowly but methodically go back to the home page and chose another movie...ONLY MY ADVICE!! And obviously this is only of my opinion!?!?!

maybe i ask to much from the horror genre that some says its long time dead.maybe this actors that have no chemistry between them or it was a wrong choice of the director.maybe the director was a wrong choice of the whole thing who knows?one thing is for sure,this movie is not working.too bad it could be a good one.

the location,cast and effects were minimal but that is not necessary bad in the horror genre.Kate Bosworth shows here how bad is her acting more than ever.I didn't buy her performance at all and from the first minutes of the film it was obvious she is not what she looks,they didn't give a chance for the viewer to works his brain.... Wes Bentley that usually i like a lot did nothing here to prove he is good as some say but again i don't think its his fault. with another director and a change of actress this film could be much better thats for sure.
