Cora (Kelsey Pribilski) wakes up from a coma in a hospital bed as she
has apparently been in a terrible car accident - and that's not the bad
news, the bed news is, she has forgotten the last 10 years in her life,
and now she's handcuffed to her hospital bed as Sheriff Kruger (Chip
Llorens), who's at her bedside when she awakens, claims she's a homicidal
maniac and wants to send her to the chair. Now the last thing Cora
remembers her being an unremarkable office worker who has never done
anything wrong in her life, but with Kruger being as adamant to send her
to death row, she makes a hasty escape from hospital, guided only by the
messages on her cellphone from someone she doesn't even know - and
suddenly she finds herself on the run from not only the Texas Rangers but
also a gang of masked psychopaths, with only a young girl (Avi Lake) who
knows too much to not somehow be involved on her side. Along the way, Cora
tries to find out about her past 10 years, and what she learns she doesn't
like, as apparently she has been a most brutal masked serialkiller called
Hyde after suffering total amnesia. Somehow Cora finds out the only person
who can help her is Dr. Cameron (Diana Rose), the psychiatrist who treated
her 10 years ago for her amnesia, and the only person Cora's Hyde identity
has always returned to. Thing is, Dr. Cameron might have an agenda of her
own ... In essence, Hyde is a slasher that's twisted out
of form to such a degree that the lead is both the killer and the final
girl, and thanks to a very cleverly concieved script, this approach works
nicely too (even if it asks for quite a bit of suspension of disbelief
when it comes to the film's psychological underpinnings). The result then
is a wild goose chase with hardly a dull moment in sight, one that favours
originality over formula, and that manages to surprise throughout. And a
very dynamic directorial effort and a strong central performance by Kelsey
Pribilski really help make this movie into a very entertaining genre
piece.
