Hypnotic

Hypnotic (2021) is a psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM, starring Kate Siegel as a woman who loses control of her own mind. Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote direct.

Reeling from a breakup and a stalled career, Jenn wants to feel steady again, so she books sessions with a celebrated hypnotherapist, Dr. Meade (Jason O'Mara). The work seems to pay off — calmer, sharper, more in command. Then gaps open up. Things happen between appointments that she didn't decide and can't recall, and the line between her own will and someone else's suggestion starts to blur. Someone has found the switch in her head.

This Canadian thriller is lean at under 90 minutes and rides one nasty idea: the scariest kind of control is the kind you never notice. Kate Siegel, familiar from Mike Flanagan's horror projects, carries it as a woman who trusts her own memory less by the scene. Simple, tense, an easy pick for a night in.
