🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a gripping duel between a rational, skeptical policeman and a charismatic, unpredictable psychic, relying on an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust. It explores the fine line between intuition, madness, and manipulation, leaving ample room for the viewer's own interpretation.

What lingers after the credits roll is a profound sense of uneasy ambiguity, as if the truth remains perpetually one step ahead, dissolving into a mist of doubt. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Frank Perry

Watch alone late at night with the lights dimmed to fully absorb the creeping psychological unease.
