Storyline

In New Orleans, Madison Walker suffers from dissociative identity disorder (DID) and tries to commit suicide. She is treated together with other patients by the psychologist Dr. Elizabeth Barnes. Madison has an estranged mother, who is a religious fanatic woman, and her father was neglectful with her when she was younger. When Madison leaves the psychiatric hospital, she goes to her old apartment. Then she decides to lock herself in the apartment for thirty day expecting to find why she is so messed up since she has neither friend not a job. On the 30th day, Madison makes an important discovery about Dr. Barnes and her patients.

User Reviews

this movie is dull and trite yet director is pushing positive reviews on FB

Here is a small taste of what you can find posted on the director/writer's FB page (Kathern Brooks): "Hello Everyone. We Need your help. Could You Guys Make Your Vote at IMDb A 6 and also make sure to vote one-point above for another 10 movies (if the movie is 6.0, rate it 5 or 7)? This Way, Your Votes Will matter A LOT for the movie and hopefully IMDb will start giving us a rating better than 4.8. THANK YOU!! xoxox ... if you write a review on Amazon, Netflix or IMDb you will get a signed poster from Katherine Brooks!" And here is a message to people who haven't even watched it: "If You Haven't seen the movie but are waiting to see it, please give us a positive rating on IMDb, Amazon or Netflix, and when you do, say "done" here. Thank You! xoxox" This definitely explains all the phony reviews here and on other sites. I found this film extremely dull and I do not recommend it. This is just a truly bad story with trite characters (good looking, but TRITE). I hope this gets published so the public can get an honest idea of these reviews and get a clue that not everyone liked it. Also, if you saw Loving Annabelle or came across a review for this on some lesbian sites and are expecting a lesbian-themed movie here, don't. This is not a romance and this is not erotica. This is not a story about lesbians. My one star is dedicated to the presence of Elizabeth Shue who was not only gorgeous to look at, but the best actor in this film. I would also like to dedicate one invisible star to Erin Kelly who appeared a bit, but was not captured as the intriguing character we saw in Loving Annabelle. Now that's just bad, bad directing this time around... because she is capable of being one fascinating and stunning creature. Bless you Elizabeth Shue for making an appearance... you should have been the teacher in Loving Annabelle...
