The film

Afflicted by a mysterious condition that resets her memory, Ellie becomes trapped in a cyclical nightmare with a man who claims to be her husband. She soon must uncover the horrifying truth of her existence—before she forgets it all again.

The Real Review

Jessica Rothe's performance as Ellie Carter, a woman caught in a terrifying memory loop, is the rock-solid reason to watch this. Everyone agrees her acting is phenomenal. The premise itself is seen as fresh, but people are sharply split on the movie overall, mostly because the story is a mess, it frustrates more than it thrills. Things look good, but Joseph Cross's character, Bruce, makes a particularly sour impression that drags the whole experience down.
