Good ideas but underdeveloped
There are some good ideas here. It really could have been a very good film with more work. The central premise is underdeveloped, however, and the script lacks any real spark. Although the build up is a little slow, the final reel should have been full of fireworks, but instead it was a bit of a damp squib. I liked the ideas, though, and I'd love to see someone have another go at making this.
Yawn!
I had a hard time keeping my attention on this movie. All I could think of was the poor directing! It's the director's job to make things interesting, and this isn't.
The story is shown is a strange manner, jumping back and forth with no rhyme nor reason. You think you've figure out some part, and it jumps to something, and someplace, else.
And the gaps in the story, you can drive a truck through! Even the ending comes and goes without explanation.
The main character is boring and low key throughout the entire film, like the drugs the docs at the asylum have her doped up, but, nope, that's her acting! Even her voice has no inflection. There were a few scene when she was okay, but they flashed by.
Sorry but this really is a lousy movie with little to recommend it. And, my review is pretty jumpy, too, like the movie. Duh!

Entertaining enough
The premise was good the lead actress was excellent what stops me from rating higher is the later part of the film which seemed rushed and a little predictable. The plot holes definitely spoilt it for me
It's so so
First half of the movie was interesting then the second half turns into a dumb revenge thriller. Could have been a much better film. If only they taken the cult that wanted their blood into a much darker place like the original French Martyrs 2008 film. Not that those two movies share a common plot, but it did have some similarities like the cult. The acting was pretty good and it was off to a good start until the doctor makes the big reveal to Sybil essentially killing the tension in the movie. Revenge and happy endings don't belong in horror, they belong in action thrillers.
Solid 6 but nothing more
Good thriller you go thrilled all the way,
Some good acting some bad
Good movie idea but noting new
Ends without any explanation of the subject
Summary, its a watchable movie, makes you wonder what will happen, so keeps your eyes attached to the screen. Solid 6..but definitely not more..
