I wanted to like this movie because I like weird movies. However, this movie is trying so hard to be weird that it forgets some important things like a good plot, good direction and good acting. This movie's lead actor Bret Corey reads his lines like he is reading them for the first time from cue cards. He basically sinks the whole movie all by himself. I see this is the only movie he has acted in and I know why, he cannot act. Some of the other actors are better with their acting skills but not by much. Like I have already stated, I like weird movies. Movies like Donnie Darko, Memento, etc. Are weird but are also well acted and well directed. So who is to blame for this mess, I don't know. I guess we can put most of the blame for this terrible movie on writer and director Arthur Reyes who has since changed his name to Arthur G. Night. I think he changed his name because he did not want to be associated with this movie just in case he started making good movies. I don't know how I did it but I did make it to the end of the movie. My advice is do not watch this movie. Watch the second hand on your wall clock go round and round, it will be more entertaining and better time spent. Or go and watch a good weird movie like Donnie Darko, Memento, Taxi Driver, Magic, A Clockwork Orange, etc., etc., etc.

Psychopomp is a very well structured psychological thriller that tells the story of an amnesia patient by the name of Archie. The structure of the movie leaves the viewer guessing if they're watching a real life scenario or witnessing one of Archie's dreams. As well as this, the casting was great and the characters were written well. I think the script may be a little rough round the edges but nothing significant. however, the character of Birdie I think should have been slightly stronger and braver than she was in the film. As well as this, some lines in the script may come off as degrading towards women. But overall, a great film with brilliant storytelling and definitely worth a watch!

It was good from the Start It kept me watching till the End it was more Suspense than Horror but it is worth a Rent or even a buy if you do buy B movies. Good Job at Chemistry between characters. The only thing that i would have liked to see is how he got amnesia . But that does not keep you from watching go ahead and give it a watch and see what you think. If not a Buy at Least a rent

Suffering amnesia after a mysterious accident, film director Archie Finch pieces together his life with the help of a seeming specter.

Psychopomp is an art-house style indie piece; thus, you have to kind of observe it through a different set of eyes. This is Indie, not A list, high budget Hollywood. Indie is true film art with a whole lot of passion. That being said Psychopomp it is a psychological/horror that, messes with your mind mentality type of film. If this is what director and writer Arthur Reyes was going for then Psychopomp totally works.

When we open, we meet Archie who we find is currently in psychological therapy. He suffers from amnesia after being in some form of an accident as well as being haunted by these odd dreams, which start to blend into his reality leaving the viewer not knowing what is Archie's real-life or his whacked-out dreams. That is until a pivotal moment where Archie does start to remember. In flashbacks, we learn the truth of what happened and the truth about Archie himself. Throughout this though a TV or microwave head guy is roaming around hunting for Archie. Reyes (Director) does a great smooth blend of working him into Archie's life when he finally manages to catch Archie.

Acting-wise I thought Samantha Weller (Birdie) and Maria Olsen (Rita) who you might remember seeing as Mrs. Dodds/The Fury in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, Paranormal Activity 3, American Horror Story, and Rob Zombie's Lords of Salem brought brilliant life to the film and their roles. Weller retains the best line in the whole film I think, "I'm Free." The way she delivered that line at that moment and the repercussion of the meaning behind that line too... it just gave me chills. I just think that was the best line in the whole film. So, if psychological/horror acid tripping movies are your thing? Check out Psychopomp.
