“Charismata” (*** out of four) was a hypnotic and eerie psychological thriller about a veteran police detective (Sarah Beck Mather) whose sanity becomes to unravel as she begins to combat various mental health disorders when investigating a brutal series of murders which she is determined to uncover. Finely made story takes its grip from Mather’s understated but powerful performance and holds you in its spell with striking cinematography and a sharp screenplay by directors Andy Collier and Toor Mian. Starts to wane in the final third and is marred by an abrupt conclusion but still definitely worthwhile.
