mockfilmsblog I found this flick while screening random trailers online and boy howdy did it peak my interest. The Scribbler (2014) from the trailer is the sort of film that makes you want to see it simply because you're not quite sure what the hell it was you just watched, and you want some more. (Also, I will watch anything with Garret Dillahunt. The man's great in everything.) Then you see the cast (Katie Cassidy, Garret Dillahunt, Michelle Trachtenberg, Michael Imperioli, Eliza Dushku, Gina Gershon, and Sasha Grey) and you say to yourself "This movie will either be the next thing I drive my friends crazy to watch or I will want to forget it ever happened." So, how did I like this movie? Keep reading, slacker.Based on the graphic novel created by Dan Schaffer (who also adapted the screenplay), The Scribbler is as follows, Suki (Katie Cassidy), a young woman who suffers from multiple personality disorder, has been using a treatment called The Siamese Burn to kill off her multiples one at a time. It's a trippy form of electro shock which can be self administered with a portable version of the machine. ('Cause that's a good idea.) After much improvement, Suki is placed in a living facility for recovering mental patients who can live on their own while under observation. There she is met by a menagerie of interesting female characters each with an interesting quirk. Suki also starts up a "friendly" relationship with the buildings resident Lothario, Hogan (Garret Dillahunt). Cured from his condition, Hogan decided to stay longer so he could swoon the ladies who come in and out of the facility, until that is, that they begin falling to their deaths one by one. Taken in for questioning, Suki begins to struggle with her most puzzling multiple, The Scribbler. A personality that communicates only through writing, The Scribbler begins to act erratically cryptic, forcing Suki to wrestle with the idea that her last treatment could possibly erase her real personality leaving The Scribbler to take over. There is a ton more but I don't want to give away too much. (And if I tried to explain it my ears might start to smoke.)
gavin6942 A young woman (Katie Cassidy) is facing her destructive multiple personalities using an experimental new procedure known as "The Siamese Burn." This film is very 1990s, reminiscent of "Donnie Darko" or "Dark City". Unfortunately, it never quite reaches those levels. Despite a great cast and decent plot, and even some people saying this has "cult following" written all over it, it just becomes too difficult to follow, and does not offer nearly enough Michelle Trachtenberg. Katie Cassidy does great, but bring on the Trachtenberg.Good casting making Sasha Grey the "bunny", though... she is finding her transition to mainstream films awfully smooth.
Charles-kyle Bronson-reese We all know Michelle T can act and it shows as always in this film as well as in every film she does. The main person though that needs to take credit for this picture is Katie. On arrow her character is so Lois Laine ish and there is very little versatility there. Grant it still has many more seasons for the writers of that show to bring out more of Katie's massive potential. This movie demonstrates just how intriguing a character that is totally opposite from Laurel Lance can be brought out by an actress that people think is terrible on the arrow show. It is very much possible she could play Harley Quinn after watching this. The "DEATH" comic book character she was able to create along with Michelle T was brilliant. It had the movie "the crow" instances in there which I have not seen in decades since that movie. Let me be the one to say yes, if you enjoyed the crow you will like this.
Jerghal The scribbler is another Graphic Novel adaptation to the big screen. I've never heard of it but maybe it's well known it that world. The movie's filled with B-actors like Michelle Trachtenberg, Michael Imperioli, Gina Gershon and even Sasha grey (1 shot!). Overall the acting is not bad but for a movie about split personalities you would expect to see some of these different persons but nope, the lead actres only plays her one character and the hidden Scibbler character turns out to be a superhero-like someone but it's all a bit weird and messy. I wouldn't recommend this film but if you do see it, it will only take 89 mins out of your life.
