    Not your typical ghost story

    "Beyond Your Consciousness - The Beginning" is not your typical ghost story, and I appreciate the attempt by Rinoj Varghese.

    The film starts with Amanda, a psychiatrist played by Jen Ayer Drake, and her husband George, played by Marcus Lawrence, moving into a beautiful Victorian home with colorful yet slightly eerie stained glass windows, all in an attempt to start a new life. George wants Amanda to move on from her unfortunate miscarriage and thinks the new home would allow her to do that, but unfortunately, she starts to see a ghostly energy and a strange woman who seems to linger outside their home.

    Amanda decides to see patients in her home and deals with a really interesting case of a girl who's under the impression she's being terrorized by a ghost at night. When under hypnosis, the girl reveals what I take as foreshadowing and sets the tone for what Amanda is going through. Amanda talks to what she thinks is a spirit living in the house, trying to warn her of a kidnapping, thrusting her into action to save a little girl.

    There are some bizarre things and unusual encounters, which I partially like. I enjoy a little weirdness in my films, and one of the characters was perfectly odd. Things are not what they seem, and it's all unraveled in what you think is the conclusion you may have guessed, but guess again. It's not that simple.

    I like watching low-budget films because they're rough around the edges and more raw than perfectly polished Hollywood movies that have inflated budgets to play with. I enjoy watching how filmmakers deal with wearing many hats and still find a way to tell a story.

    This version corrects grammar issues and improves clarity while retaining the original meaning and details.

    Must see film

    Loved the way the story gripped you in the situation initially, and the character development in the beginning was well developed. Yet it provided a delightfully surprising twist of reality at the end. I thought it was going to be an emotional journey with a women experiences life's trauma, and then have a supernatural theme to spice it up like a lot of thrillers do. It did that nicely, but I was surprised at how it turned out. I didn't see it coming. Impressed with how a new producer and writer can have an idea, pull together a team, and produce such a work within a limited budget. The effects and cinematography were great. A must see independent film.

    This film messes with your brain

    With dynamic and precise cinematography and an excellent actor's direction, Beyond Your Consciousness is a psychological thriller that messes with your brain. Love the way the tense atmosphere is created. Reminds me of the films of M. Night Shyamalan in the way the suspense is slowly built.

    We can relate to the story of a psychiatrist who has strange thoughts and her interaction with her family members.

    Jen Ayer Drake, the actor playing Amanda is doing a great job. She is very convincing.

    This film makes us think about this essential philosophical question: Is our life real or dreamed? Are our family members real?

    Serious Mind Fracking

    A nail-biting thriller replete with shades of psychological horror. Just when you think you know where it's going, the film takes a sharp detour. There's a real exploration of psychosis in this film. Jen Ayer Drake offers up a multifaceted and offbeat performance that will leave you guessing until the end. Throughout, the film offers up that haunting question we all ask-are our lives our own? Rinoj Varghese's exploration of psychological horror and gaslighting that will leave you guessing until the end. Jen Ayer Drake gives a captivating and multifaceted performance.

    For fans of movies that make you think, this is your cup of tea.

    Interesting DePalma-esque Thriller

    "Beyond Your Consciousness" is a psychological thriller in the mold of 1970's Brian DePalma. Story begins with psychiatrist Amanda, portrayed by Jen Ayer Drake, treating a teenage patient suffering from supernatural trauma. From here story shifts to Amanda's new home, but soon after, mysterious presences reach out to her. Lead actress Jen Ayer Drake does a great job navigating the emotional ups and downs of this character as she seems to descend into madness. There are many supernatural/horror elements that emerge, things that go bump in the night, and ghostly voices/apparitions. Our own sense of reality is challenged. I really enjoyed this movie. It's technically well-made, and worth checking out if you want a good supernatural thriller with a surprise ending.
