Amnesiac is a 2014 psychological thriller film directed by Michael Polish and starring Kate Bosworth, Wes Bentley, and Olivia Rose Keegan. The story is about a man who wakes up with amnesia and is unsure of who he is or what happened to him. Throughout the film, he desperately tries to piece together his past and uncover the truth about what happened to him.

The film opens with a man (played by Wes Bentley) waking up in a hospital bed with no memory of his past. The only clue he has to his identity is a photo of a woman and child in his pocket. After being discharged from the hospital, he finds his way to a nearby house and introduces himself as John. The woman who lives in the house, played by Kate Bosworth, is hesitant to let him in but eventually takes pity on him and allows him to stay.

As the days go by, John starts to experience strange flashbacks and begins to suspect that his amnesia is not simply the result of an injury. He becomes increasingly obsessed with figuring out who he is and what happened to him. Meanwhile, the woman who took him in starts to exhibit strange behavior and becomes increasingly hostile towards him.

As John investigates his past, he uncovers dark secrets and a history of violence that he never could have imagined. He realizes that his memory loss was not an accident but a deliberate attempt to erase his past. With the help of the young girl who appears in the photograph he carried with him, John sets out to uncover the truth and get revenge on those who were responsible for his situation.

The film is a tense psychological thriller that keeps the audience guessing until the very end. The performances by the lead actors are strong, with Wes Bentley capturing the confusion and desperation of a man struggling with amnesia, and Kate Bosworth delivering a hauntingly eerie performance as a woman with a hidden agenda.

The cinematography of the film adds to the overall unsettling atmosphere, with many scenes shot in dimly lit locations or using muted colors to create a sense of unease. The film also features several dreamlike sequences that further enhance the sense of confusion and disorientation felt by the protagonist.

Overall, Amnesiac is a well-executed thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. It explores themes of memory, identity, and revenge with a dark and compelling storyline, strong performances, and effective use of cinematography.

Amnesiac is a 2015 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.3 and a MetaScore of 33.
