Sorry, this movie sucks

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Richard is a seriously paranoid young man who has been getting in and out of mental hospitals. He hears voices all the time and he thinks his family has been killed and replaced by imposters. His father would like him to be hospitalized again ASAP, but his mother insists that the best place for him to be cured is home. On the thirteenth day of Christmas, just after some family friends have departed, Richard finally loses it completely and....This is a well-made low-budget shocker that effectively portrays homicidal madness and paranoia, aided by John Wheatly's tour-de-force performance as Richard. Yet, it feels misplaced in the "Time For Murder" series, as it has nothing to do with the mystery genre; it is just a disturbing study of a disturbed mind. Recommended only for horror fans, really. *1/2 out of 4.
