“Restraint” (*1/2 out of four) was an unbearable horror thriller about a woman with various mental illnesses (Isabelle Celaya) who begins to unravel when she marries a controlling older man (Dana Ashbrook) and moves with him to the suburbs. Director Adam Cushman shows far too much restraint and tells an overly familiar story with little pace or scares which results in this being a real yawner. Cult fans may recognize Ashbrook from “Twin Peaks” which had more style and electricity in one episode than this has in its entire running time.
