Original subtitles

Well, at least you won't have any trouble describing the killer.

Kabuki mask, free arms.

That should pretty much narrow down the list of suspects, I reckon.

G'day guys, Holy Critics signing in. And I've just got back from my holiday and

I'm super excited to bring you a whole new batch of movies.

Today we're watching one that'll definitely mess with your head called

Unseen. Actress Susan Blakely delivers a haunting performance as a mother driven

to madness by the loss of her daughter.

It's an intense blend of supernatural spookiness and murder mystery that'll

you on edge and guessing.

every step of the way so if you're craving a psychological thriller that

the lines between reality and delusion then make sure you check it out and tell

me in the comments if you guessed the killer before the final reveal

me what you're seeing right now.

What are you seeing now, Alice?

Tracy!

Tracy!

Don't you ever want to be like that!

Where did you think you were going?

We're going up, huh?

Yeah.

I know. Can I push it? Can I do it? Sure.

Hit the top one, honey.

I can't reach it. Oh, here we go. Ready?

Oh,

good work.

What are you

saying?

You have to try and tell me.

Please don't hurt my baby. Please, do whatever you want to me.

Please try.

Try and tell me.

Oh, good work.

Do you live on the 13th floor?

I didn't think they used 13.

Oh, that was in the old days.

We're not superstitious anymore, are we?

No, not me. I'm not superstitious. You're not?

What else do you see, Alice?

Help me.

oh my god

That was good.

It was very good. You did very well.

Mint.

I just suck on it, don't you?

Yes, we're proceeding very well.

We'll have you out of here in no time.

How much longer do you think she'll be here?

It's really difficult to tell.

Maybe a matter of weeks, or it may be a considerably longer period of time.

Maybe somebody else can do a lot more for her, Doctor.

She's been here four months.

I understand your frustration.

Jesus Christ, look at her.

Isn't there something we can do? Give her something?

I have her on a mild sedative.

Tammy, I want my wife back.

Dr. Meltzer, there's a police officer to see you. He's waiting in your office.

He's asking about Mrs.

Lundgren. The police? What the hell are they doing here? Tell them I'll be right

there, okay? I told you nobody, no nobody was to come near my wife but you.

health's the only thing that matters right now.

Goddamn police what?

I agree with you. Now, I will handle this.

Well, then you go handle it. I will. Please wait for me here.

I'll be right back. Please.

Thank you, Bill.

Detective Curt Williams, Ravenwood County Homicide.

You don't look much like a policeman.

Yeah, well, I do a lot of undercover work.

Well, what I need from you is an introduction to one of your patients,

Lundgren.

Out of the question?

Well, you're not going to make me get a court order on this, are you, doctor?

I've already been through this with several members of the police

Her condition is unstable.

I won't allow it.

Good afternoon, Officer Williams.

I'll be back.

Please.

Could you leave us?

So then the cop says, Lady, do you know how fast you're going?

And I said, No, the speedometer only goes to 120.

So what are you doing here at night? Are there any acute patients?

Remember Brad?

He started for SC? I'm seeing him again.

He asked how you were doing.

We're going to Palm Springs this weekend.

Alice, do I have to have this conversation all by myself?

I gotta get out of here, Kathy.

What?

It drives me crazy.

Oh, Alice.

I'm sure they're going to let you go home soon.

I am so glad you finally realized that I want out, Kathy. I want out now.

But Alice, it's not how it works. I'm a prisoner in here.

You're not a prisoner.

You're a patient.

Alice, please tell me the truth.

Are you still seeing Tracy?

I saw her again two nights ago.

Tracy is dead.

They're not going to let you go home until you come to terms with reality.

the way it is.

You're not going to be here forever.

As soon as you get better, they'll let you go home.

Soon if you get better, they'll let you go home.

Alice.

Alice.

Now this will make you feel much better.

Kathy?

Now this will make you feel much better.

No! No!

Alice,

I can't let you go home yet.

You're not well.

You're still delusionary.

Not anymore. I'm fine.

I haven't seen Tracy for two weeks now.

When a loved one dies, it's perfectly natural to grieve. Now, you're denying

your grief. This is why you keep having these visions.

The visions are over.

I know Tracy is dead.

I know I won't see her again.

Well, I'm very glad to hear you say that.

That's a good sign.

But I still think it would be in your best interest for you to stay here with

until we're sure that you've completely recovered.

I am recovered.

If you want to keep me here against my will, you need a court order.

So either put me in front of a judge or let me go because I want out.

I'll tell you what.

I'll be happy to initiate the paperwork as soon as I've consulted with your

husband. It's not his decision. It's mine.

I want to see release forms here tomorrow afternoon.

Now, if you don't understand, it's more complicated than that. The forms will

take at least a week to process.

Then you have a week.

No more.

Charlie, I know we bought the building. Now I want to buy the company.

Right.

All right, I got to go.

Yeah, Victor here.

No, that's good, 90.

Sell at 90, right. And don't forget to earmark 50 % of the profits for the

children's hospital, all right?

Great.

Yeah, Betty.

No, no, put him through.

Hello? Mr. Lundgren?

Your wife would like to leave us.

She's aware of her rights and is quite insistent.

Well, I thought she was still having hallucinations.

Well, she maintains that she no longer is.

Really?

Well, that's wonderful.

We could keep her here for further observation if you... No, I don't think

that's necessary. If she says she wants to come home, then let her come home.

That's great.

Doctor, do me a favor.

Give her my love.

Fine. Thank you.

Right. Thank you.

Yeah.

Alice, these are beautiful.

Love, Victor.

How nice.

So, what's with the fitness craze?

I want my body to be as good shape as my mind when I get out of here.

Oh, you look great. And you sound terrific.

So what the hell happened?

What do you mean, what the hell happened?

It's just that the last time I was here, you were still kind of, you know,

crazy.

Is that what you want to say? No.

Were you beginning to like the idea of having a crazy sister?

No.

Of course not.

Good. Because I'm not crazy.

Not anymore.

If I ever was.

Good. So, um... Oh, a cop has come by my place several times asking questions.

Really? What do you want to know?

Well, of course, anything about the... It's okay, Kathy.

Murder is the word you're looking for.

Well, he also wanted to know everything about you, especially about you and

Victor. I told him everything is a lot better now that the divorce is on hold.

Why'd you tell him that?

Well, it is, isn't it?

Well, just remember, if Kurt comes by to see you, technically speaking, you're

still a married woman.

Kurt?

The cop.

Kurt Williams.

Cop Kurt, huh?

No, that shouldn't be a problem.

Come in.

Can I call you back? Thank you.

Alice.

I'm ready.

I can see.

You look great.

Sit down.

I prefer to stand.

Well, in that case... Before I

sign this, I have to make sure you understand the conditions of the

Oh. I know, I know. In two weeks, my case will be reviewed by the psychiatric

review board, at which time it will be determined whether my release will be

permanent or if I have to return for further inpatient therapy.

Don't worry, I'm not planning on coming back, Doc.

Good.

Well, I guess that's just about it, then.

I do have a little something for you, though.

Kind of a going -away present.

You're so sentimental.

What is it?

Just a mild sedative.

In case you start getting to feel edgy.

Piece of mind a bottle, eh, Doc?

Well, let's call it a little insurance.

As much as I've loved having you around here, I really don't want to see you

come back.

Agreed.

That's it.

Okay. We're done.

Take care, Alice.

Be well.

I will.

Can't say it's been a pleasure.

I gotta know everything you know.

Hello, Mr. Peer.

Oh.

Kabuki Killer takes a break.

Fat chance, huh, guys?

Okay, just a little bit.

You gotta be up early.

Mrs. London?

What?

Who is that?

Uh, my name's Kurt Williams.

I'm a detective.

Ravenswood County Homicide.

You're a cop?

Some people seem to think so, ma 'am.

Do you usually break into people's homes?

Well, no, ma 'am, but I knocked and the door swung open.

I identified myself and called out, but nobody responded, so I figured I'd

better take a look.

Okay, you're here. What do you want?

You want me to turn on the lights?

When I'm ready.

Okay.

You mind if I ask you a few questions?

Can you tell me anything about the man who attacked you?

Wait a minute.

You're the cop who talked to my sister?

Yes, ma 'am. Guilty.

What can I tell you about the bastard?

He killed my child.

But he didn't kill you.

And that makes you very, very special.

That makes me special?

You're the only person who survived the elevator attacks.

It's curious, isn't it? Kind of makes you stop and think.

Don't touch the guy, okay?

Listen, do you mind if I turn on the lights in here?

What's the matter, detective? Afraid of the dark? Depends on who's in the dark

with me.

At the time of the attack, your husband and you were separated.

And you'd filed for divorce. Is that correct?

How do you feel about that?

I don't know. You'll have to ask him.

I tried asking him. He wouldn't talk to me.

Would you consider your husband a jealous man?

Are you suggesting my husband had something to do with these murders?

No, no. You think my husband could murder our daughter?

I didn't say that, ma 'am.

Look at that.

Can you see that?

That's a picture of a man and his daughter.

A daughter he loved more than anything in this world.

Tracy was burnt alive, for God's sake.

It's okay.

I know you must be in a lot of pain.

Get out of here. I want you out of my house. If you can just let me explain

I need.

Leave! Now!

Okay, I'm leaving.

I'm terribly sorry if I upset you in any way, Mrs. Lundgren.

Good evening.

Alice?

Hey, what are you doing in the dark? Farming mushrooms?

Talking to your cop. Didn't you see him?

He was just here.

I guess I just missed him.

My cop in the dark? Now that's a bit kinky.

So what did he want from you?

Oh, it's just all these dumb personal questions.

I've been through this all before. I'd hoped it was over.

No, no, no. It's okay.

Well, good.

Now I want you to put on some makeup and get ready to go.

Go where?

Out to dinner, you nut.

We are going to celebrate your new job.

Well, actually...

Your job interview. But with your resume, you're sure to get it. What are

talking about? What job interview?

At Wexler Burns, the PR firm.

I set up an interview for you tomorrow at 8. Wait a minute. Tomorrow?

Yeah. Can we have some wine now?

Whatever. Let's just have some dinner, all right?

All right. You convinced me.

Great. Now, I know a nice little place right by Victor's condo. Let's see if

he'll join us. No, Kathy.

Alex, he's dying to see you.

No, I need it.

You're not still planning to go through with this divorce, are you? Not now.

Yes, I am.

Well, after everything that's happened, how could you?

Nothing has happened to make me change my mind about being married to Victor.

Alice, I don't think you know how lucky you are. Victor really loves you. I

know, but that's not a good enough reason to stay married.

I don't love him.

Not anymore.

But he misses Tracy so much.

Victor's never lost anything before. If he loses you too, it'll just kill him.

Being married to Victor won't bring Tracy back.

It's just that... I

miss her, too.

That's why I... I couldn't put away the things in her room.

I don't know, I... I tried.

But it was...

It was worse than the funeral. It was like killing her all over again.

I'm sorry.

Shh, shh.

It's okay.

That's something for me to do.

You've been wonderful.

You took care of the house. You took care of me.

Really.

Victor has been more help than you know.

I know, Kathy, I know. He means well, but... Let's not talk about it

anymore, all right?

They'll never learn.

Excuse me.

I have this interview this morning in the penthouse, but I can't take the

elevator because I have a phobia.

A what?

A phobia, yes, and I was wondering if I could walk up.

Walk up to the penthouse?

Lady, that's 13 flights.

Well, I know, but I was... Okay, okay, okay.

All right, I'll walk up the stairs with you. Thank you.

Here you go, lady.

Last stop, penthouse.

Ladies' Foundations, lingerie, and hosiery.

And heart attacks.

Here, thanks.

Oh, thank you.

You know, I ain't never climbed all the way up here before. And I tell you,

ain't never gonna do it again, either.

Well, I appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm taking the elevator down.

Hi, I'm Alice Lundgren.

I'm here for my interview.

Please, have a seat.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure,

thank you.

Good news.

I start tomorrow.

Yeah, I got it.

Could you hold on a second for a look at the door? Actually, I'll call you back,

all right? Great, thanks. Bye.

Coming.

Victor.

Alice.

You're not supposed to be here.

I know, I know. It's just, uh... Christ, Alice, I miss you.

Well, that's nice of you to say, but I'm not ready to see you yet.

Are you sure?

I mean, don't you want to invite me in?

Come on.

Look, I'm sorry. I'm really busy right now.

I start a new job tomorrow.

I know.

Oh, damn you.

Damn you, Victor. I don't need your help.

Alice, the first thing the psychiatric review board's going to look at is

whether or not you can hold down a job. And you don't think I know that?

I planned on getting a job, but I could have gotten one on my own, without your

help.

That's what I need right now, to be on my own.

You're still my wife, you understand that? You're still my goddamn wife, and

your husband.

Excuse me, please.

Excuse me.

Get off.

Pardon me.

Excuse me.

Thanks again.

Well, listen, just don't make a habit out of it, okay? I got more important

things to do. I'm sure you do.

I'll see if I can't get my boss to make me have the key.

Thanks.

Tracy?

Tracy?

Tracy?

Tracy!

Jason! Jill, you okay, honey?

Do you enjoy frightening little girls?

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought she... She looked like my little girl. I'm sorry. I

made a mistake.

I suppose there's no harm done.

Okay, I know we promised you tomorrow.

Don't worry.

We'll have it by tomorrow.

Go over it again, line by line, and see what you can... Reporting for duty, Miss

Wilkes. Oh, please. Call me Midge. Everybody does. Okay, Midge.

Welcome to Wexler Burns, Alice. Glad you could join us. Thanks. Nice to be here.

Well, come on. I'll give you the tour.

This is the reception area.

This will be your office.

Oh, that's nice.

Excuse my portable phone, but I feel naked without it.

The restrooms are way down at the end. We're doing some construction down there

to make way for a new executive row.

Come on, let me show you the media room.

Here we are. It's state -of -the -art, completely soundproof. We use it for

viewing videotapes, client meetings, that kind of thing. Great, I love the

Excuse me a moment. Sure.

Yes.

Hi, Jim.

Of course. Of course I know how important this is to you. In fact, we've

new writer to handle the overflow.

Right.

Well, I'll have to find that for you. Can you hold on a second?

Come on.

We're working on a publicity kit for a new horror movie, and I told the client

we'd have it finished by tomorrow.

Is there anything I can do?

Only about a million things.

Listen, take a look at these bios. See if you can condense them to a paragraph

each. I'll join you in a bit in your office.

Okay, great.

Jim. Yes. I've got the file right here.

Ah, the joys of employment.

Cute guys, cute.

Mommy,

mommy, where are you, mommy?

Mommy.

Get a hold of yourself, Alan. She's dead.

Tracy, are you in there?

Oh, God, you scared me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.

You, uh... You must be the new girl.

Huh? Oh, yes, I am. I was just looking for the ladies' room and... Oh, this

isn't it here.

We've been having so much construction going on here lately that we've all been

using this.

But don't go in here.

That's the construction area.

Someone keeps changing the signs as a joke.

I think it's one of the secretaries or the workmen. Yeah, probably.

But don't worry, this door locks from the inside.

It's okay. I didn't need to know anyway, actually. I just wanted to know where

it was, you know, for later.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

Miss Lundgren?

I still got to ask you a few questions.

Look, this is my first day at a new job. Can't you just leave me alone, please?

I'm very sorry to disturb you. I really am.

I got no choice, though.

I mean, couldn't we talk over lunch?

I don't think so. I'm very busy.

You got to eat.

I mean, you know, we could eat and we could talk and I could cross my heart

I'm not going to ask any cop questions and, you know, nothing fancy.

You eat on roofs very often?

Well, as often as I can, yeah.

It's a nice way to get away from people, get some peace and quiet.

You got a lot of peace and quiet in the hospital, I bet.

If you can call being shot up with Thorazine peace and quiet, then yeah.

I had peace and quiet.

A lot of it.

Why'd you come back to work so quick?

I mean, you don't need the money, that's for sure.

I like to write.

You sound like my husband.

He never wanted me to work. He wanted me to stay home and be his good little

girl. Uh, that maybe have something to do with your filing for divorce?

Partly.

Yeah.

What was his response?

I thought you weren't going to ask any cop questions.

I flipped. I can't help myself. I'm just a naturally nosy person, you know?

But I mean, I care about what you've been going through. I care about you. I

care a lot about you.

Well, so now that I've slipped once already and that we're such close

could I please just ask one little cop question?

All right, but get it out of your system, because the next time I answer

questions, it's going to take a lot more than a deli sandwich and a pickle.

In the last year, there have been eight killings.

Did you know any of these people, or was there any connection with the victims

at all?

None.

You going to finish that pickle or what?

Let's see. Even if you get in. Okay, good.

I really got to get back to work.

Okay. Thank you very much for lunch.

Yeah. Thanks. Bye.

An interesting man.

Close friend?

Not really.

Listen, the cassette on that film came in. Take a look and give me a two -page

synopsis. Say by five today.

You got it.

Anyone in there?

Hi, Mommy.

Alice,

is everything okay?

I mean, are you all right?

No, no, I'm fine.

Hey! Don't touch that. Why not? It's mine.

It's yours?

Yes, it was given to me at last year's office Christmas party. I lost it about

week ago, but I didn't think it was in here.

I know it's childish to wear a charm bracelet, but honey, I can use all the

I can get.

You know, you really should lock this door. This is the only restroom in the

office right now.

Are you sure you're all right? I mean, you look awfully pale to me.

I think it's just a case of the first day jitters.

I'll be fine as soon as I get started, I'm sure of it.

In fact, I'm going to look at that tape right now.

Okay.

Police department.

Give me the police department.

Yes, it's an emergency.

Hello, I'd like to speak to Detective Williams, please.

Kurt? It's Alice Lundgren.

Alice Lundgren?

What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

Oh, I see. I'm sorry. I must have the wrong Detective Williams. I was trying

get hold of Detective Kurt Williams.

Homicide. What do you mean? There isn't?

Are you sure?

No, no, I'm fine. I just must have gotten the name wrong, that's all.

No, I'm sorry. Never mind.

Don't cry.

I'll take care of you.

leave you, Mommy.

The angel took me away.

I'm going to stay with you.

Oh, honey.

Oh, honey.

Oh, my baby.

Alice! Open the door!

Let us in! Alice!

Come on, honey.

Mrs.

Lundgren! Mrs. Lundgren!

Call an ambulance.

Good.

It's okay, Alice. It's okay. No, it's not okay!

He took my baby! He took my baby again!

Alice, did you take anything?

Are you on something, honey?

He's not my father.

He's not my father.

Paramedics are on the line.

authority better with it

Everything's going to be okay.

Where's my baby? Hey, Allison.

Easy, easy.

Easy, easy.

Oh, it's you.

That's right.

That's right.

Leave us.

It was quite a scary night.

I bet I did.

Want to tell me what happened?

Has anyone told you yet?

I'd rather have you tell me.

Alice? I'd rather not.

Paramedics said you were incoherent.

Something about your daughter.

Alice, have you been seeing Tracy again?

Alice.

Alice?

I'm just trying to help you.

Have you?

Oh, I'm just so tired.

I can hardly think.

All right.

I understand.

Just rest.

I'll come looking on you later.

Mr. Lundgren.

Doctor. Please sit down.

How is she?

Well, physically she'll be fine.

But as you know...

Healthy people don't hear voices and see their dead children.

So she admitted to seeing Tracy again?

She absolutely insisted she had.

Well, what's it come down to, Doctor? I mean, is she going to get better or is

she going to get worse?

That's extremely difficult to say.

But based on this most recent episode, I'm afraid the Psychological Review

will insist that we keep her here for further evaluation and treatment.

I understand.

I want to assure you that once again, I will personally supervise and make sure

she gets... Okay, what room's Allison?

Excuse me, who are you?

Mr. Lundgren, Detective Williams.

Detective?

He's investigating the elevator killings.

Right. Look, let me make myself clear. Nobody wants the son of a bitch caught

more than I do, but I don't think it's a good time to disturb my wife. She's in

a very sensitive condition.

Yeah.

I bet she is.

It's awful about her relapse, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Yes, it is.

I just dropped in to see how she's doing.

I've already told you that... You want me to get a court order? I'll get a

order. Court order?

You think you've got just cause, and you get the hell out of here, and you find

your court order.

Real nice to finally meet you, Mr. Lundgren. Yeah, you bet.

Good afternoon, Detective Williams.

Jesus Christ.

Everyone has nightmares. You're not crazy.

No, you're definitely not crazy.

Who is that?

A sanity is just a state of mind and a point of view.

What the hell are you doing here?

Uh, just trust me just for a minute, okay? I think I can help you.

And I hope you can help me.

Stay where you are. I'll push this button and scream rape.

I want to know who you really are.

I told you before, my name's Kurt Williams, I'm a police detective, and I

specialize in homicide.

I call police headquarters. They never heard of you.

Normally I work undercover.

I mean, I crack scams, bunker, chicken market, stuff like that, and it's pretty

nasty stuff.

Think you're going to call division and ask them if I'm a cop and they're going

to tell you?

No, I guess not.

Listen, if you want to reach me, day or night, call this number.

Okay. I'm kind of obsessed with your case.

Let me explain that.

When you were attacked, you know, and you get an instinct for this kind of

thing, it's hard to explain, but something wasn't right.

Something just wasn't right. I mean, I wasn't assigned to your case or

but I made you my business.

And I gotta be real honest with you right now.

After six months, you're nothing but a file folder downtown in an overstuffed

cabinet. I think I'm your only shot.

What's different about my case? It was a random attack.

You're alive.

That's what makes you special.

And I'm convinced that it wasn't the elevator killer that attacked you. What?

It doesn't fit the profile at all. He never would have murdered your kid. He

never would have left you alive.

Listen to me. I need information from you.

You're the only person left.

You've come to the wrong person. I can't tell you anything.

I don't even know what's real anymore.

Maybe I am crazy.

Excuse me for asking, okay?

Were you taking anything?

Nothing like that, no.

I bet you were taking something.

The doctor here gave me some Valium that I've been carrying around, and, you

know, today was the first time I felt like I really needed one, that's all.

How many did you take?

Just two, I think.

No, I'm sure, I only took two.

Anything else, anything at all?

Nope, nothing.

Tell me the truth.

Do you think I'm crazy?

say you're crazy at all. You know what I'm asking.

I saw my daughter today.

I know I did.

And I also know she's dead.

Well, it is possible.

I mean, that you actually did see her in your mind. It can be very real. Not in

my mind.

I saw her.

I saw her.

know what to say.

Unless you believe in ghosts.

It wasn't him.

Knock, knock. Can I come in?

Kathy? Alice, you told me we're over this and I believed you.

I help you get a job and you flip out.

The review board will have no choice but to commit you again and this time for

keeps.

Why is everybody so convinced I'm insane?

Because sane people don't go around seeing ghosts.

That's why I didn't see a ghost. I saw Tracy.

Alive. I touched her.

I held her in my arms, Kat.

I felt her heart beating inside her.

No, you didn't. God damn it, she's dead.

No, she isn't.

They will put you away for a long time.

Dr. Meltzer won't be able to help you if you won't even help yourself.

I don't want to lose you again.

And I don't want to lose Tracy.

I don't know what else to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Alice,

I love you.

And I know as long as you're here, Victor will take care of you.

You're late.

That for me?

That's for you.

I guess this means you're going to get out of Dodge, right?

I ain't hanging around here, that's for sure.

I was thinking maybe you get a little greedy, come back for a little more, and

maybe bring the police.

Mr. Lundgren, we had a deal.

Mr. Norton, you had a deal.

I got a plan.

Now, wait a minute. You don't have to do this, you know. I mean, I wouldn't

talk. You can keep the money.

I won't talk.

What are you going to do, dance for me? Mr.

Lundgren, please.

Mr.

Lundgren, I... No

more

hiring the killer.

Hello? Hello?

Mommy? Are you coming to get me?

Cece?

Where are you, baby?

I'm here.

I'm waiting for you.

Yes, but where? Where are you?

Thank you.

She's on her way.

Just as we discussed.

Don't make pointless threats.

You both have too much to lose.

I'm waiting for you.

Tracy?

Tracy, where are you?

I'm waiting for you.

Yes, baby, but where are you?

Tracy?

I'm waiting downstairs.

This better be good.

Kurt, it's me.

Alice? You've got to help me. I need you.

Okay, where are you?

The pills.

Remember you asked me about the pills?

It's the pills.

Okay, are you still at the hospital?

Well, it's wonderful that you guys are together, but where are you, baby? Tell

me where you are.

You've got to help me.

The elevator passed.

The elevator is here.

You've got to tell me where you are. You can trust me. I'm the only one.

You've got to tell me where you are, though, so I can come and get you.

Alice?

Alice, you can trust me.

I've been saying things.

But some of it's true.

I know it's true.

I know Tracy's here.

Tracy's here.

I know she is.

Okay, now listen. Just calm down. Take a deep breath.

Alice, I'm the only one you can trust.

Come on, baby. Where are you? Alice!

Shit!

We're here.

Hello, Alice.

Victor? Victor?

Mommy!

Help!

Help me!

Don't! Mommy!

It's all right, sweetie. It's all right. Mommy's still a little sick, that's

all. Tracy, come to mommy.

You stay out of our way. Daddy, you're hurting me. Let her go, Victor. Please,

let her go.

I'll do whatever you want.

Well, it's up to you.

Either we live together on my terms, or we all die together.

Daddy, you're hurting me.

I'll do whatever you want.

Now, none of this happened, did it? You understand?

None of it. It's all in your mind.

Say it.

All in my mind. What?

It was all in my mind. What?

It was all in my mind.

Now.

There's not going to be a divorce?

No.

No. No.

You're going to go to the hospital.

Yes. Say it.

Yes.

Tracy's going to remain with me.

And then in time, Alice, in time, then you're going to come back to me.

And then you'll be mine forever.

It's your choice.

My choice.

It's my choice.

You've already got Tracy.

You burned a child in that oven.

Stupid bitch.

I got a body, a little body, from the morgue.

She was already dead. All those other women dead because of you, because of

It had nothing to do with the other killings, you understand? I didn't kill

anybody else.

Please don't do this.

Come on, baby. I love you.

I did it because I love you. I love us.

I love you.

Love? Don't say that, you son of a bitch!

I did this all because I love you!

It's okay, honey.

He's a policeman.

Yeah, it's okay now.

It's okay. Where's Lundgren?

He's dead.

It was him, wasn't it?

He was just using the other killings to get to you.

Yeah. How did you know?

I just knew.

I just knew. It had to be him.

Come on, let's go.

Bastard. I mean, how the hell have you ever thought I'd let him get away with

something like that? In a way, he's stupid.

He's a stupid man.

There's so much stupidity in this world, you know?

God, I hate stupidity. I mean, anybody who would attack you and your daughter

has got to be brainless.

You're good people. I mean, the other people, they deserve what they got, but

you guys, no.

No, no, no, no. I mean, it's his fault you went through all this pain.

It's sure not my fault. I mean, you know that.

But it's a difficult situation because, you know, I mean, the cops are going to

start asking questions and inevitably they're going to be led to me. And, I

mean, you're not going to be able to answer the questions.

There's no way.

You know, copycat killer.

Like your husband, he's never as good as the original.

I mean, this is not something I want to do, believe me. It's the last thing in

the world I want to do.

You know, but I got it.

And I'll make it as quick as I can.

so that was sight unseen otherwise known as out of sight out of mind and i'm

beginning to question whether those titles were an inside joke or not the

desperately tried to deliver psychological thrills but instead ended

devolving into a campy slasher flick and while the setup had real potential in

my opinion the payoff was one big letdown however

To the film's credit, it did throw us into the action from the very outset

we're caught up in Alice's unimaginable nightmare.

I mean, the story she reveals to her therapist was as horrifying as it was

ridiculous. What kind of evil monster would go around stabbing children while

wearing a Japanese kabuki mask?

It's an absolutely insane proposition. That is...

somehow made believable by Susan Blakely's top -notch performance.

Her realistic portrayal of a mother on the brink of madness who's being haunted

by her daughter's ghost was second to none.

I've seen her in plenty of TV movies before and she always elevates even the

most mediocre of writing and directing.

Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the other actors involved.

Both Wings Houser and Edward Albert were incredibly wooden in their respective

roles. The low budget production value didn't do them any favours either.

Many scenes were awkwardly shot with odd camera angles that seemed more

amateurish than they did stylish.

And then there was the soundtrack.

It was loud, overly dramatic and distracted more than it enhanced.

Creating an almost...

soap opera quality at moments that should have been suspenseful and when

twist finally did arrive it lacked any real impact because not only was my

immersion broken by that point but i was left with far too many breadcrumbs

along the way to even care it's like the film wanted to keep us guessing who the

real killer was but accidentally gave the game away in the end instead of

shocked I just found myself thinking, yeah, yeah, whatever.

So, if I had to rate the movie, I could only honestly give it an underwhelming

two stars, and that's probably being generous.

I now invite you to share your opinions of the movie in the comments below. And

as always, this is Holy Critic, signing out.
