State of Consciousness

About This Movie

State of Consciousness dives into the murky waters of ambition and morality through Edmond Sanders, played with a blend of desperation and charm. The thriller aspect sneaks up on you, especially as 'Carl,' the enigmatic hypnotist, pulls strings behind the scenes. The film has this gritty realism, almost voyeuristic, that makes you question how far you'd go for success. The pacing keeps you guessing, with tension building as Edmond’s life spirals. There are some practical effects that, while not over-the-top, work really well to illustrate his psychological unraveling. It’s a fascinating exploration of control—over self and others—with performances that linger long after the credits roll.
