The movie had a good concept going in. I was invested. Wanted to know how everything connected, but at the end was pointless. There were a lot of things at the beginning of the movie that had nothing to do with the story itself. They could have done a better job at putting everything together.

This movie is not perfect there are some things that are pointless near the end, however the bulk of it was fantastic. The characters and story are explained early, so you have some background. Then what you are left with, in my opinion, is a roller coaster of emotion and wonder. It keeps you thinking and trying to figure out if what you are thinking is correct. Like I said not perfect, but about 90% of it is worth a watch. Its not a horror, ultimately a psychological thriller / mystery.

I will say at once - I bought into the experience of producers, who successfully lit up in well-known and successful works.The plot immediately seemed to me hackneyed and beaten, but I had not been to the cinema for a long time, and there were no intelligible alternatives to the film, so I went to the "Hysteria" with a weakly fading hope for at least an average job. Yeah, how.In general, the plot is entirely based on one uncomplicated intrigue - is it really happening - or not? And the idea is quite good for itself, but normally it is not realized, because when the curtain falls, there is no such shock from the re-recognition seen as it was in the "Mind Games" or in the "Voices" because the authors did not really play on the basis of deviations of the protagonist, about what is happening really - no, just here you have a couple of scramblers and all.A separate mention is worthy of the female character of the courier, who in the film is present at the level - just to be. The character is not specified at all - no one who she is, or why she clings to the hero is incomprehensible, the heroine's motivation is absolutely zero, despite the fact that she is essentially one of the main characters, so I hoped until the end that at least at her expense the creators would pull out a picture from the bottom, adding an interesting background to the girl, so that what happened had any meaning.The result - the main theme is not disclosed, and the final is predictable.

This movie begins explaining nothing. First of all.
Second it's great they didn't explain why our main character Tom, was committed to a mental institution for the criminally insane. I mean 20 years and he's 33ish so clearly something awful happened as a teen with his brother Alex. That's all you can put together they tell you nothing till halfway through but it's quite a shock. It's extremely disturbing and intense. Now to the plot. The movie is well done as far as melting a schizophrenic reality with everyone else's reality. It's confusing what is real and what is an illusion. Then strange occurrences start around the house leading Tom to secret passageways and rooms with a voyeur mirror. The passageways have peep holes as it goes through the entire house. The home itself is very interesting. What's even more interesting is how his "episodes" lead him straight to these secret places, they are brought on by strange noises shaking doors opening and eerie phone calls from a private number with moaning and a ton of white noise.... then the brother starts appearing but how can he if he's serving prison time? Is he really home or is it Tom's alternate reality? The phone calls he receives from a private number are chilling. perhaps something from beyond is trying to reach him? Or is it all in his mind?
