"Like The Adjustment Bureau and The Matrix had a weird baby. So, so strange but very engaging. Spoilers ahead: I realize the story could have completely cut out the concept of tuning and all the bad sfx that go along with it, and still had a very strong story and climax. But the tuning just adds to this wild ride. I actually think it has aged quite well, in that it's a nice little goofy break from the haunting reality that none of your memories were ever your own and that you have had your identity and body and mind violated every night your whole life by a bunch of aliens puppeting dead human bodies around. I really enjoyed the multiple fakeouts in the beginning of the movie and am definitely going to check out the marketing for this movie. The title is vague enough that you could get away with marketing it as a serial killer psychological thriller."
"One of those fever dream movies you see once and question if it ever existed. I watched this fever again and thought it didn’t exist until I went on a binge of underrate scifi movies like the 13th floor, and that Jude Law move that is like vr “12 monkeys” with the weird living consoles."
