It Not a Tuma, and This is Not a Horror Movie
Anyone who has ever been exposed to someone having multiple psychotic episodes, going in and out of reality, having hallucinations that for them are as real as your reality is to you, and who was around them enough that you thought you too would catch the psychosis, can total appreciate this movie. Those that haven't are just looking for a good scare. The reality is scary enough.
The story was entirely believable and frightening without having to rely on demons and slashers. This means the writing, acting, and editing had to stand on their own quality, and they did. The set was perfect, insecurity plus isolation plus heartbreak equals potential psychosis. I loved the editing, how thing would change as the main character observed them.
Not to mention that Sarah Paulson is such a great actress (watch those tear well up towards the end) and so beautiful. I watched this movie because she was in it, and I knew it would be good because of that.
Great movie, if you have had a little experience.
