A detective (Ben Affleck) investigates a mystery surrounding his missing daughter – and a Top-Secret Government Program.
Does Hypnotic Hypnotize?
Hypnotic was such an intriguing film that very much surprisingly caught me off guard with its “killer plot twist” that I did not see coming – AT ALL!! It’s always rather difficult for me to say this, but if it’s true …then it’s true and I write the harsh and ugly truth no matter what! Truth is truth in my book! With Hypnotic being such a low-budget & not very well advertised, I was highly impressed with the fact that the film tricked me! For almost every single low-budget film, the plot is easily figured out or displayed; and predictable. This is not the case with this film. I only wish that the film could have been more in tune with the plot and had more well-known actors in it than just Ben Affleck. Certainly, he can stand in a film alone just in his name, but having a partner or two helps as well. The brutal and very vicious attacks throughout the film just had me speechless – I wasn’t expecting those at all!
Ben Affleck Gets Hypnotized…
Very gruesome, gory, close-up, and just plain over the top! As the movie progresses, we can find out more about Danny Rourke and why he is so obsessed with finding his daughter’s abductors. He meets a hypnotic who can give him some insight on hypnotics and how to fight them off, but then there is a block that he is putting up without it that is preventing the 1 person who can help him locate his daughter – and that one person is Diana Cruz. This film is more of a psychological thriller to me than just a regular old drama. Yes!!! There is drama in the movie; lots & lots of drama, but the way that these hypnotics try to infiltrate your mind to get you to do just about anything is beyond terrifying!
Do You Want To Walk With A Hypnotist?
You know something … it’s very strange how you very frequently hear people use the terms or phrases similar to this movie in real life – catchphrases such as you’re easily influenced; you’re under the spell of someone; you’re smitten by; you are under the influence of someone; or you can be very easily persuaded; you are a weak-minded person. And there are so many more just like the few that I have just listed and do you know the ONE thing that all of these phrases have in common? Come on now – you can tell me – it’s the fact that they are all highly suggestible hypnotic phrases where if anyone were to be told these phrases in THIS move, they are likely to be hypnotized by a hypnotic-like so many individuals were in this movie and got them to do whatever and whenever.
Breaking Into The Minds of Millions!
It was so scary to see in this movie how the main protagonist went inside dozens of people’s minds and convinced them they were harmful and very ruthless and dangerous people and instructed them to kill and murder and do his bidding for him! Could you imagine living in a world where your mind was an actual prison and you were trapped inside and there was nothing to get you out? You would be too far gone and nothing could save you or recover you!
Trav’s Conclusions on Hypnotic
You could NOT come back once your mind was infiltrated. You would not have control of your damn mind – you would do whatever you had to do to complete the task that the hypnotist tasked you to do. If you were chained to a fence because someone chained you to stop you – you would chew your arm off to get out to complete the task or mission that you were told to do., That is how it was in this movie! REAL STUFF! NO LIE! NO JOKE! Can you even imagine?

Thank you! So much! For you visiting my website for the very first time & another THANK YOU for posting a blow out comment like this! It warms my heart and leaves me speechless! Want to know why? Well, I will tell you why, my friend. When I created this website – i had ONE main purpose in doing so and it was not to be interactive with my followers or anyone who leaved comments because I was going to do that automatically! My sole purpose was to write so that my words could touch, inspire, heal, motivate, and prick at the hearts of each and every single human being that came to Tonight With Trav to tread anything even if it was one line, one sentence, one word, or one paragraph – because in all of those one’s – there is ONE unique characteristic that sets my reviews apart form professional movie critics: and that is that I do not bash the movies, the actors, and I aim to leave a POSITIVE message in each, and every single review that I write and it warms my heart when people leave comments like you do saying that I have convinced them to see or watch a specific film that they were not interested in at all that means that I piqued their interest/s in seeing it. That means my words have a profound effect on them and my ultimate goal of reaching someone has been fulfilled like I said earlier and that brings me so much joy and self-fulfillment so – THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! THANK YOU FORM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND COME BACK AND COMMENT AGAIN AND AGAIN!!
Sounds very intriguing!
It was – very intriguing ….but still very low budget! Is it wrong of me to say a low buget film was good – or at the very least …decent?
