I just caught this movie on TMC . . .
First - I think a lot of people missed the fact that it was NOT Desmond making the women hurt themselves, it was Justine. It seemed clear to me, she controlled & used Desmond.
Which leads me to how irritating this dumb movie was . . .
It could've been so much better if it had been complete . . . But there's no back story - or end. Just a middle.
I kept waiting for the detective guy to flesh out the story - tell us who these two were, where they came from, what drove them, etc - all we know is he hypnotizes people and she's (apparently) the lady 'stage' assistant - but after Justine & Desmond both die, the movie just suddenly ends with the psych doctor giving cheezy warnings about hypnosis
So you will never know; Who were Desmond & Justine? Siblings? Husband & wife? Just co-workers?
How did Justine get scarred up? (which would have explained why she perpetrated the same fate on so many women) And, did Justine actually have Desmond hypnotized, to do her bidding? Because, again, it seemed pretty clear she controlled him, and she controlled the women . . .
Anyway - that's my review-rant . . .
