STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

Cinemavixion Review

Marcus D. Spencer's "State of Consciousness" plunges viewers into a psychological thriller that explores the seductive and perilous nature of control. The film centers on Edmond Sanders, a seemingly self-assured investment broker whose life takes a dramatic turn upon encountering the enigmatic Carl. Introduced to the potent art of hypnosis, Edmond embarks on a journey to manipulate his circumstances, seeking an edge in both his personal and professional life. However, as his newfound abilities escalate beyond his command, the line between reality and illusion begins to blur, trapping him in a descent of paranoia and disquieting revelations. Spencer, who also helms the director's chair and appears in the film, crafts a narrative that is both compelling and cautionary. The performances, particularly from Deana Molle' and Kimberly Marquez, add layers to the unfolding mystery. While the film delves into the darker aspects of power and consequence, it ultimately serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the human psyche and the price of unchecked ambition. With a runtime of 87 minutes and a 7.0 rating on IMDb, "State of Consciousness" offers a tightly wound thriller that questions the very fabric of perception.
