Review of The Scribbler (2014) by Kristi M — 10 Apr 2015
Formulaic and clichéd, The Scribbler is an overly contrived supernatural thriller. Based on a graphic novel, a mentally disturbed girl is sent to live at a halfway house, and when people start dying she comes to believe that one of her alternate personalities called The Scribbler is responsible.
The casting is pretty good, and includes Katie Cassidy, Garret Dillahunt, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Eliza Dushku. But the plot uses a lot of familiar tropes of the genre, and follows a fairly predictable path.
And while the visual style creates an atmospheric tone, it's also rather ugly and is distracting at times. A poorly made film, The Scribbler is incredibly trite and uninspired.
