In a series of flashbacks, confused psychiatrist Dr Elizabeth Derby recounts the terrifying story of her downfall to her best friend and colleague, Dr Daniella Upton. It all started when Elizabeth had an unannounced visit by distressed teenager Asa, who kept insisting that there's more to his abusive father than meets the eye. Genuinely concerned about the young man's mental health, Dr Derby delved deeper and deeper into the strange case of multiple personality disorder, only to drift apart from her family. And the more Elizabeth exposed herself to Asa's mysterious horrors, the more she questioned her sanity. But if the thing in Asa's mind is real, what good is science when you're suitable flesh?

Heather Graham is the successful psychiatrist "Elizabeth" who finds her daily routine interrupted by a visit from the seemingly paranoid "Asa" (Judah Lewis). Initially sceptical, she begins to become intrigued with his story that he is being persecuted by a man, on the phone, who is threatening him. Indeed one such call induces a sort of fit from the young man! A visit to his home, and she is hooked into a mystery that is somewhat reminiscent of "Fallen" (1998) as it turns our erstwhile respectable physician into someone reduced to some rather lively, impromptu, nookie before incarceration in a padded cell trying to convince her close friend "Dr. Dani" (Barbara Crampton) that she's not completely deranged. This starts off quite interestingly, with a solid effort from Lewis as the troubled youth - but as it progresses and it becomes clear to us just what is going on, the film begins to fall away and lose any potency. The last half hour is violent and brutal, but suffers from a lack of plausibility - in this or any other dimension - and it becomes repetitive and shows up the really mediocre quality of both the writing and the acting. It is watchable, if only for Lewis, but equally forgettable stuff.

I gotta give some credit to the effort. This movie is more for completionists of schlock than one for the masses. All the seams are showing, gratuitous sex scenes, absurd dialogue, awful lighting, and yet, I cant hate this. Grab as many grains of salt as you can and watch this little turd, I had some fun with it at least.
