Hypnotic is a 2021 American thriller film directed by Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote, written by Richard D'Ovidio and starring Kate Siegel, Jason O'Mara, and Dulé Hill.

[5] The Guardian's Benjamin Lee gave the film 1/5 stars, writing, "For someone under the spell, an hour can feel like a minute, an enviable experience for anyone actually watching Hypnotic, an unrewarding slog being fished out of the garbage for Halloween no tricks or treats, just tripe.

She said the film "only occasionally rises to the potential of its wild premise, thanks mostly to a crazy-eyed, licking-his-chops performance from Jason O'Mara.

"[7] G. Allan Johnson of the San Francisco Chronicle was more positive, saying the film was "the kind of made-for-cable-level movie where a pedestrian script... with the usual horror cliches is elevated by strong acting, no-nonsense direction and a couple of neat twists.

"[8] Lena Wilson of The New York Times wrote, "While the resulting cat-and-mouse dynamic is predictable, particularly if you've ever watched a Lifetime movie, Hypnotic takes its cartoonishness to admirable heights.
