Leave your thoughts about Hypochondriac.
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt doesn’t come together nearly as neatly as you’d like. But “Hypochondriac” manages a few chills and some eyes-averting gore thanks to Will’s memories of what happened and how close he is to repeating the awful past he grew up in. |
| RogerEbert.comSimon AbramsWhen a movie doesn’t quite come together, it’s often tempting to say that something essential is missing. I’m not so sure that that’s true of “Hypochondriac,” a rather good psychodrama about repressed childhood trauma that’s also an underwhelming horror movie about mental illness. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThe combination of gay protagonists, mental illness exploration, horror tropes, and surreal elements that gesture toward “Donnie Darko” make for an ambitious mix that holds attention, even if the uneven, somewhat muddled results are ultimately more effortful than insightful. |
| The New York TimesTeo BugbeeIts armchair psychology makes for queasy viewing, a conflation of diagnosis and damnation. |
| User ReviewveljkomcxThis movie manages to show so much and yet it manages to show nothing at the same time. |
