The Good Doctor (2011)
Directed by Lance Daly
this film stars Orlando Bloom, Riley Keough, Michael Pena, Taraki P.
Henson and Rob Morrow. A young doctor struggles to find the respect
he thinks should come with the job and becomes obsessed with a young
female patient.
This film starts off
fairly normally but slowly takes a turn into the dark and creepy as
the actions of the protagonist become more sinister. What I like
about this film is the subtle understated nature of the evil on show
here that both gets under your skin and shows how much trust we put
in medical staff. Largely the film is well made and the real skill
here is in the tone of the film being a little slower and less
obviously menacing than some similar films.
4/5
