This is a great low budget horror film despite its made for TV look. This horror film is pretty well made and provides the right sense of suspense and blatantly depicts the actions and situations that may occur when trust and jealousy begins to coexist. This film is about an experiment gone wrong after a scientist instructor participates in a mesmerism experiment. After a couple of days, he begins to feel weak, sleepy, and starts doing unordinary actions towards his teachings, his students, his fancé, and his friends. As things start to escalate, the evil one behind this situation begins to invade his environment, his brain, and his love life. I really enjoyed this film, for anyone who sees this in a video store, I suggest giving it a try, I did!
