About this movie

Holly Kane (Kirsty Averton) is an attractive 29-year-old experimental psychologist, whose determined research into mind-control techniques is driven by a fear of insanity. In her quest to control her unconscious thoughts, Holly is experimenting with drug-fuelled subliminal programming when two very different men come into her life.

She is swept off her feet by Dennis Macintyre (James Rose), a handsome 35-year-old who seems to be impulsive and vulnerable but who conceals a background in military intelligence.

Meanwhile, her career gets a much-needed boost from Marvin Greenslade (Nicky Henson), a celebrated 73-year-old psychologist who uses his power and influence to facilitate the clinical trials that will legitimise Holly’s experiments. But Marvin hasn’t told Holly the complete truth either.

When Holly steps up her experiments on herself with more sophisticated equipment and more powerful drugs, she descends into paranoia and madness.

To discover the truth about what’s happening to her, Holly must learn to trust something other than her mind.

Ratings and reviews

If you think Harvey Weinstein is a pig, wait till you meet Marvin Greenslade. What he puts Holly through is just disgusting. I wanted to kill him. But the way she gets through it all is truly heroic because it involves her mind, her emotion s and her body. She is seriously kick-ass. Go, girl!
