Visions (2015)

A young couple, including expectant mother, Isla Fisher, buy an old vineyard deep in the Californian hills. It's not long before Fisher starts seeing things, ghosts from the past, and the feeling that all may not be as idyllic at the vineyard as the couple hoped.

Visions had a promising concept however the overriding feeling as it played out was one of complete emotional unattachment and the feeling that the usually reliable Fisher was wasted by a script that offered nothing aside from by the numbers plotting and uninspired direction.

Despite the film coming to a satisfying conclusion, all that precedes in the build up is tired and cliched. It's as though the director had a checklist and made sure he ticked each and every box - hallucinations, tick, odd neighbours, tick... Even the films two biggest selling points Fisher's co-stars Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) and Eva Longoria between them barely have enough screen time to register.

So whilst the story itself is really not that bad, Visions lacks vision in all other departments and ends up watchable but very run of the mill.
