From Academy Award® winning director Steven Soderbergh (Traffic) comes this suspenseful and provocative tale of intrigue starring Channing Tatum, Academy Award® nominees Rooney Mara and Jude Law, and Academy Award® winner Catherine Zeta-Jones. After her husband (Tatum) is released from prison, Emily (Mara) begins suffering from terrifying anxiety and turns to psychiatrist Dr. Banks (Law) for help. But when Banks prescribes an experimental drug for her, the side effects have chilling and deadly consequences.

Reviews

The Wolfman Cometh

Patrick Cavanaugh

A sexy, surprising, and straightforward psychological thriller that leads to a fulfilling payoff.

Steven Soderbergh has crafted a meticulously treacherous Hitchcockian thriller; the atmosphere crackles with sexual tension and betrayal.

Soderbergh skewers the reluctance to discuss mental health in an unforgettable psychological thriller...

... Soderbergh’s take on the Joe Esterhaus thrillers of the nineties, only smarter, more clinically-focused (as Soderbergh is wont to do), and without the ice picks. For all the twists, this is a thriller that turns on character.

Soderbergh keeps the viewer involved and never sure what to expect, while every twist and turn comes as a surprise, informed and enhanced by the tricky film’s critique of the pharmacological industry.
