CINEMA FOR THE PEOPLE

A meta sci-fi/giallo hybrid from the director of Drive sounds sick as hell on paper, which makes the ordeal of sitting through Her Private Hell all the more disappointing.

Maddie’s Secret achieves the emotional magic of melodramas: the viewer unknowingly finds themselves swept up in the heightened emotions at the story’s peak, with crushing emotional consequences

Uncaring adults, prophetic dreams of a sexual nature, carelessly unsafe sex that feels like love, blood-splattered runs from truth and plot into the unknown.
