Timing is everything when releasing movies.
Too bad for this excellent thriller it was released after the similar Sixth Sense . Despite excellent actors, scary moments and a good script it will probably be dismissed or lost among the glut of supernatural movies. While he is in trance, she gives him a post-hypnotic suggestion to become more open to things around him. We are never really told why she decided to give him the suggestion or why she worded it the way she did. Toms new open mind gives him startling images of a dead girl.
