I don’t think this should have been a movie. It would have been a better TV show. Come to think of it; it reminds me a lot of an episode from the X-Files—Pusher, season 3, episode 17. If you watch the extra scene in the credits, then it’s not too late. It might still be a TV show.
The story has an interesting, although unoriginal, premise. And the pacing is really tight. This movie moves along rapidly, but it doesn’t feel disjointed. It pretty much follows the story of one character so it’s easy to keep track of things even though it’s impossible to know exactly what’s real and what isn’t. I’m sorry; vagueness is unavoidable since I don’t want to spoil anything major.

Ultimately, I would recommend waiting for this movie to stream. I’m sure it won’t be long in the theaters.
Grade: C-
About The Peetimes: This is a short movie, but I managed to find 3 Peetimes. If you can make it, I recommend the 3rd Peetime. It’s a long montage of scenes you have already seen, just from another point of view.
There are extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of Hypnotic.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
This is a great app. I wish more people would support it
This app provides info about movies, reviews, ratings from people who have seen it before and after viewing. It has links to info about the movies. It let’s you know when there will be a lull in the action and how long it will last. If you want to know what happens during that time, you can check the brief synopsis (you have to click a link, so no accidental spoilers). It has a timer you can set (silent) to alert you to a break. It also tells you whether there is anything extra during or after the credits. It’s really a wonderful app. I’ve subscribed for a couple of years to support the developers, but I noticed some of the links to provide feedback didn’t seem to work today. They also made it free, with voluntary donations to see the pee-times. If you haven’t tried it, I encourage you to do so, and subscribe if you like it. I really hope the app is supported so it can continue to be maintained!
Developers note: RunPee doesn’t make much money but it supports itself nicely. Donations are appreciated, but not required. We’ll add as many movies to the database as we can until there are no more movie theaters.
