Much like 1963's "Shock Corridor", "Shock Treatment" with Stuart Whitman and the recent "A Cure For Wellness" the paranoia and conspiracy theories abound only "Unsane" makes it more believable in a modern hospital clinic setting that lumps together in the same living area patience with a wide range of ailments from drug addiction to severe mental illness.
This facility tricks the main character into signing admittance documents without telling her verbally she's to be committed for 24hr. observation. The motivation alluded to by one of the patients is that the clinic is set up more as a business much like big pharma where the real incentives for helping the patient are obscured by how much money can be had from the insurance companies footing the bill to keep the patients much longer by reporting mishaps involving altercations caused by other patients who are quite unstable to begin with.
You know where this is going but there's an interesting twist to the plot that kinda' sounds like it was pulled from actual "You won't believe this but this is true" crime data involving a former abusive boyfriend becoming an employee at the facility.
Yeah! That can happen! Check out some of the horror stories at adult assisted living facilities in rural areas of the country that take in anyone and everyone with any insurance and don't do thorough background checks on their employees.
I believe one of my relatives is experiencing pretty much what this main character goes through with regard to increased and added medication when my relative started out with narcolepsy and now is being treated with a string of bipolar medication. This movie has motivated me to find out about these kind of facilities. It's downright scary and so is the movie.
