REVIEW: The Recovered
|
Beverly Sloan, a woman with obvious psychological problems is forced to go home to plan her dead mothers funeral and winds up having to battle some childhood demons of her own. Beverly was not close with her mother and her awkwardness towards the whole situation is painfully apparent to the viewers. The film moves a little slow but the purpose of this I think adds to the impending dread that hovers so neatly around us. After packing up her eight prescription bottles and some clothes she tells her hubby goodbye and travels back to stay at her childhood home where she will sleep on the couch because she can not fathom sleeping in her previously estranged mother’s bed. Beverly starts to see things- are they real? Is she just hallucinating because she stopped her medicine? Could this place house her mom’s spirit…
Beverly starts having nightmares and day visions of a man in a suit with a bald head who lived in the woods out behind her house. When she was a chd she would play out back and he would creep up and talk to her with I think the intent to either kidnap or kill her. Having no previous recollection of these memories start to scare and confuse her to the brink of insanity. If you are the type of person who is fidgety or can’t sit still, then this movie isn’t for you. You need to be patient and silently watch the mystery unfold before you. Will Beverly survive her brief visit home or will she slowly be driven insane by her mind playing tricks on her? Recovered is the complete view of madness that takes over when familiar surroundings trigger what she had so long ago repressed. |
