At least the film was not hard to follow and the story structure was generally coherent. The music is suitably ominous.įound that the acting was not bad, found it better than average if not much more.Īlso that there were a few nice moments that intrigued and there was tension, suspense and creepiness, the first half is very promising and has a good deal of unsettlement. The scenery is atmospheric and spooky and 'Incontrol' is surprisingly well shot and easy on the eye, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and irredeemably terrible at worst. It is not a terrible film though, as far as recent low-budget film viewings go it's one of the better and more watchable ones easily. 'Incontrol' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better, can't say that it is a great film because it isn't. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive. Was drawn into seeing 'Incontrol' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing and creative premise (one of the most innovative for any film seen recently) and as someone with a general appreciation for the genre.
So observing how people acted while hooked to the addictive machine was a large part of the experiment although I am not sure what benefit it is to the scientists.

Overall the movie I think needed an ending that explained more about the experiment although I think the writers left enough breadcrumbs as to what type of experiment it was. We later discover that Marissa is indeed Samantha by her jogging routine and eating peanut butter. Samantha is so freaked out by being trapped in Marissa's body that she is distracted and wrecks the car. At first she panics and tries to call Mark, whose voice we can hear mumbling about cleaning up Samantha's body. When Samantha was hijacking Marissa and was killed by Jenny, her consciousness was trapped forever in Marissa. Anyways, apparently if the host dies while you are hooked up to them, you yourself do not die, as was shown in Victor's case. He was also suspicious of Samantha and where she came from. Then he tries to escape because he says he can't trust anyone. I believe he is not just like Samantha which is why he tries to die in the simulation. Regarding Victor, I am not entirely sure if he is being controlled. But not before he collects the research data and puts it in a box for a shady looking delivery van to pick up. Confused yet? Whomever the people are behind this experiment are, they do not want to leave any lose ends, hence the ending where they make Mark kill Victor, Samantha, Jenny and then himself. Someone is using another machine to control them and make them hook up to the machine in Jenny's place. So obviously the machine they have is not the only machine in existence. The comment by Jenny at the end when she offers Mark coffee, gives this away. They are actually people who are having their bodies being controlled by others whom we do not see. Jenny and I think Mark are not who you think they are.
What is really going on is some kind of experiment to see if people who are observed will act differently than people who are not being watched. Samantha obviously is envious of Marissa's relationship with Mark so she hijacks her for long periods of time, just to live in her shoes.īut to get to the explanation of the movie, it is sort of like the movie Inception, a dream inside a dream thing which is confusing at first to grasp.
But she also tried to get her mother out of the addicted slump she was in, which we never really see how that plays out. She manipulated her boss at work so she could have more time addicted to the machine. The main character Samantha used the device in both a selfish but also virtuous way. Money, sex, drugs and other vices would naturally be the focus of alot of people. It seems pretty shallow but I think that most people would do similar things if they could take over someone else's body. The premise behind this movie was pretty interesting, but the story could have been better than 4 young adults using a mysterious piece of technology to hijack rich kids at parties.
