MB C @MB.Cinema Mar 10, 2026 The film follows Evie, who arrives in Malta for a vacation but soon becomes entangled in a mysterious relationship with her seductive neighbor Diana. At the same time, a masked killer roams the city, creating a dark atmosphere where temptation, deception, and crime collide.... The screenplay introduces several intriguing plot threads psychological manipulation, hidden motives, and a serial killer mystery but struggles to connect them into a cohesive narrative.... While the film begins with promise and moments of suspense, its scattered structure and underdeveloped twists weaken the overall impact....Overall, Compulsion feels like a thriller with interesting ideas but an uneven execution.....

She soon meets and befriends her neighbors Diana (Charlotte Kirk) and Reese (Zach McGowan) while a serial killer strikes the small island. When the police get involved, they begin to suspect Evie as the out-of-towner who could be responsible for the killings. This started out as a great homage to the 70's and 80's giallo genre. A wonderful opening scene shot from the killer's POV that features hints of the original HALLOWEEN score. In addition, like many great giallo's of the past, the killers preferred weapon is a straight razor. Unfortunately, the body count is low but is made up by the fact that both Evie and Diana soon enter into a romantic relationship. The film could have been trimmed down by 10-15 minutes but does offer a lot of beautiful scenery that makes the audience want to visit it immediately. A film that had potential but didn't execute completely unfortunately. Still worth the price of admission for the scenes between Evie and Diana are they are steamy.

He's made 4 movies in a row with her as the lead so far, all of them very bad. Uwe Boll-level bad. I think she's his wife or partner, so the creative abilities he initially had as a director are not in control anymore.
