"Come Back To Me" (2014)

It seems to me that I heard all kinds of buzz about "Come Back To Me" prior to it's release, but now that I've watched it I can't imagine why there would've been any? In no way is the film scary (if it's really even trying to be), nor is there anything about it that stands out (certainly not the acting, or the screenplay). In fact, the whole film is quite repetitive and relies way too heavily on the "is it all real or is it a dream?" plot device to the point of being nerve grating. Literally scene after scene after scene of the main character waking up in bed as if from a nightmare, to where if you made it into a drinking game you'd be dead from alcohol poisoning. Now, I will say the big twist of the film is somewhat unique, but honestly I found it to be woefully uninteresting, especially when the whole film is hinging upon it. At best, it would've been a sub par standalone episode of "The X-Files".  3 out of 10 for me.
