Delusional (I) (2022) User Reviews (8)

Skip it.

[IvnSoft · 3/10 · 28 January 2023]

This is awful.

Story is flat. It keeps you guessing because they wont advance it for most of the movie. When you get the points, its just a regular non-interesting plot. Pretty obvious at it.

The acting ? Awful. The leads cant act. Some of the supporting actor are better, but overall, its like watching a school play.

I watched because i was intrigued by the rating. And as it is usually with these movies, they start with a really high rating then get rapidly downgraded as people without interests in the production start rating it.

Dont waste your time. Plenty of good movies to watch. This is not one of them.

Under the Influence

[lavatch · 3/10 · 21 February 2023]

"Delusional" was intriguing conceptually as a dynamic young woman is falsely accused of brutally stabbing her husband, a war hero. She is then placed in a mental institution where a determination will be made as to whether she is competent to stand trial.

Unfortunately, the good promise was not fulfilled in large part due to the crude production values. There was an amateur feel to the film with sluggish pacing and awkward jump cuts between scenes. The look was that of a COVID film with actors practicing social distancing that did not resemble realistic interactions.

The best part of the film was the character of the male nurse, a former Marine orderly, Lance Corporal Carl Higgins. The compassion he felt for Bess was palpable. The most moving scene was their farewell at the end.

The film's narrative design was far-fetched, especially in the appearance of the strange Dr. Harper. There was too much clumsiness with such details as the lab work that would have been mandatory for the court appearance of Bess. It was ironic that the prosecuting attorney wanted Bess to stand trial, which is precisely what the diabolical doctor wanted to avoid. Hence, the attempt to make it appear as if Bess was constantly "under the influence."

This was a commendable amateur effort at filmmaking. Despite the likable cast, there were too many plot holes and loose ends.

I didn't do it.

The opening scene we see sort of a rape of Elizabeth (Anais Almonte). From one angle a man is on her back and from another angle we see her back with no one on it. I would like to think this was a deliberate effect and not bad camera work. We next see Elizabeth get up and stab her husband David McMichaels (Julian Gavilanes) claiming it was an intruder. She is carted away, charged with first degree murder, and sent to Bellguard for evaluation by Dr. Collins (Irene Glezos). Dr. Collins makes some headway and Elizabeth bonds with her orderly Hank (Billy Hartmann). When the new head doctor (Olgierd Minkiewicz), Elizabeth goes into a panic mode. At a VA get together they mention a drug called "War Candy" and it isn't hard at that point to put all the pieces together.

The acting was hit or miss. The sound manged to record the echo effect of rooms which didn't add anything to the film. The film was dull in how it was constructed.

Guide: No sex or nudity. I don't recall any swearing.

Terrible movie

[jeffery_thomas · 1/10 · 20 February 2023]

The nonexistent plot is made even worse by the ridiculous dialog and acting. The other reviews must be for a different movie. The cast seems to have never performed in any other movies, plays, commercials, or barn dances. The conversations between the psychotherapists, doctors, nurses are cringe worthy. The doctor with a polish accent (Dr. Harper) can't act for beans. The Judge in the court room drags the movie down is even further.

The psychotherapists ask Carl the Orderly for advise on Bess, the patient. Carl believes Bess isn't crazy but was actually drugged, raped, and someone else killed her husband. This movie a very amateurish attempt at movie making.

Worth the watch

[samanthaariola · 8/10 · 10 August 2022]

Hidden gem that I am happy I stumbled upon while looking for a movie on prime. It has an intriguing storyline with pretty good acting and keeps you guessing. I'd say it was definitely worth the watch.

DONT MISS THIS!!

Technical Chemical Enhancement for Soldiers

[williamlasalle-76079 · 10/10 · 19 February 2023]

This could be a True Story.

I would have chosen better music for this movie, there are plenty of old Rock and Roll songs dealing with mental health issues, violence, horror, and drugs.

This movie deserves an Award of some kind for it's plot and acting. Leon Pinkney in this movie was a Great Supporting Actor Carl Holland. It is well worth watching. It is a very believable story Because of Today's Prescription Drugs and their increasing of homicidal and suicidal tendencies in patients with mental problems.

Silvia Dionicio is an Actress that should be better known and proved she is a Great Actress in this film..

Our Scientists, CIA, Pentagon, Psychiatrists, and medical community have done so much work from the 1940's that continue today with strengthening intellectual skills (mental, psychological, cognitive) and/or physical abilities and letting the soldier acquire new skills.

Using Drugs, sleep deprivation, alcohol, and other stimulant's like those used for MK Ultra experiments and dozens of other Mind Control Experiments by our Scientists, CIA, Pentagon, Psychiatrists, and medical community - that is well documented on the internet.

MK-ULTRA, which operated by our CIA and Pentagon from the 1950s until the early '60s, was created and run by a chemist named Sidney Gottlieb and was just one of the Dozens of Mind Control Experiments done with support from our Medical Community and Politicians.

Drugs prescribed to patients every day are as dangerous as the one fictional drug in this movie.

You only have to read the original Hippocratic Oath and today's Hippocratic Oath to see what the rich have removed to make the Drug Industry even more horribly rich.

Amazing story

[kimberlyfitch · 9/10 · 15 May 2024]

The story dragged a little bit, but I think that was for effect. Anais did an incredible job of acting. She kept making me wonder if she was insane, normal, pretending to be insane, drugged, possessed or what?

Also, the actor that played her hospital aid, I forget his name off the top of my head, was such a kind person that it made me want to meet him. He was the real hero in this movie because he kept believing in her.

This movie made we consider that this kind of **** could've actually happened and that could explain all the PTSD, etc., that our soldiers experienced from Nam.

I recommend this movie. Make sure you watch the entire movie, though. 😉
