This is a terrible film. Elias' twin brother Lukas is dead, but is alive in Elias' mind and on screen. No, they don't say out loud until they last scene, but is obvious from the start with how his mom responds to her child(ren). The accident seems to have driven his parents to divorce, but rather than seek psychiatric help for her schizophrenic son, Marie-Christine gets plastic surgery to advance her television career, and retreats to their lake home to recuperate, Elias in tow. Convinced the lady under the bandages isn't his mother, and egged on by the voice of his brother in his head, Elias demands to know what happened to his "real mom", eventually torturing and killing her in the process.
There are no redeeming qualities. There's no discernible plot. No mystery to solve. It's just bad cinema.
