I get it that Movies have budgets, but this one just feels like the shoestring wasn't enough - as another reviewer has also remarked on. Dialogue was not great, with pauses where there should be none - editing not great either ... There was also no depth to any of the characters ... Just disappointing overall.

Put me to sleep ...!
Not so bad
This isn't the best movie, but it wasn't so bad. They could have done more with it, but I think it was okay. The thing that gets me is all the reviews that hated it and saying that they fell asleep. It was 1 hour and 17 minutes and they could stay awake that is pretty hard to believe. It's not great, but it was interesting and I wish they had added more to it, they had time to spare.
Neat indie horror movie
Psychiatrist Phillip Tanner (a solid performance by Scott Broughton) decides to read the diary of teenage gal Molly Goldman (an unnerving portrayal by Kelly Francis Fischer) to figure out why she murdered her family. Phillip winds up falling into a state of insomnia and confusion that led Molly to go crazy.
Writer/director relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, adroitly crafts a creepy and unsettling atmosphere, takes time to develop the characters, grounds the premise in a believable workaday reality, and generates a good deal of tension. The sound acting from the capable cast keeps this movie humming: Traci L. Newman as Phillip's concerned wife Charlotte, Jeffrey Wells.as pragmatic colleague Jeffrey Black, and Lauretta Compton as Phillip's sweet daughter Cindy. The surprise grim ending packs a jolting punch. A cool little flick.
