Psychosis

A young woman, recently released from a psychiatric hospital, takes a job as a police dispatcher in a small, isolated town. As she begins to settle into her new life, she starts to receive disturbing calls from a mysterious assailant who targets her. The line between her own psychological struggles and the escalating danger around her becomes increasingly blurred.

• A predictable and uninspired thriller that borrows heavily from better films.

• Lacks tension and relies on tired horror tropes.

• Performance from the lead actress is often cited as the only redeeming quality, but it's not enough to save the film.

Google audience: Audience reviews are scarce, but those available indicate general dissatisfaction with the film's unoriginality and poor execution, with some viewers finding it unintentionally amusing rather than frightening.

The film was shot in and around Los Angeles, California, aiming for a desolate, small-town feel despite its urban filming location.
