So, I didn't mind the slow pacing of the movie or the acting as I thought that it all worked together to create a sufficiently creepy atmosphere ... I just really didn't understand the plot. If the man and the woman were working together all along then why on earth was the body of her 'previous husband' packed away in the cupboard in the basement? You can't just throw that in there as a red herring to make the audience believe that, ooooooh, the woman is psychotic and has kidnapped men like this before, without explaining away the body when it turns out that the current 'kidnapped man' has been there by choice all along. If she isn't kidnapping man after man in her attempts to get a child then why on earth was there a body in the cupboard before they even kidnapped the girl?

Unconscious also known as Amnesia and is a film easy to forget. There is a reason why the sets are sparse and beige to make it easier for you to not remember it. As the film goes on you will end up recalling Misery as Kate Bosworth moves from being a Nicole Kidman clone to a Kathy Bates one.Wes Bentley is involved in an auto-mobile accident and wakes up suffering from memory loss and a woman (Bosworth) claiming to be his wife but he starts to suspect that she may not be his real wife. The man has hazy memories of a little girl and soon finds that he is being held prisoner in the house as the woman increasingly goes berserk.The film is a slack psychological horror, the story is too thin and the ending is abrupt.

Amnesiac (2015) is a dark, eerie, and suspenseful thriller to say the least. It has that Stephen King's "Misery" vibe going for it in a huge way, but better. This movie has a beautiful twist beyond what is expected; great story. The film setting is the type I enjoy, faded and more old school era sort of a 50's styling; beautiful for such a film. The acting is impeccable and holds the reality within the characters keeping the movie feeling alive and more on a real world versus an in cinema vibe.I tend to not watch a whole lot of horror now days as most are poorly put together and become more the T&A blood gore than anything as this film doesn't. Amnesiac has that dark intelligent intent that drives the story and film all at once and I find it truly refreshing to experience it. Great film for it's genre.

OK, I gave this 10 as a response to those who were responsible for the 4.3 IMDb rating. You know who you are. An interesting, disturbing and creepy thriller about three people that get into an automobile accident: A couple and a girl (presumably the couple's daughter) are involved in an accident that renders the man (this character is not given a name in the move) an amnesiac. What follows is a creepy, sometimes violent and disturbing story with an excellent twist of an ending. Well acted with an excellent performance by Kate Bosworth. It is on Amazon Prime and worth a look if you like interesting thriller/horror films.
