I liked Sirens. While not the best film I ever saw, I thought it is good and entertaining. It's true that there are blood and revolting sexual imagery in it but it is a film focused on the investigation of a serial rapist. What kind of thinking or logic goes on in a rapist's mind? And what I liked the most about this movie is the psychological view. Who's more sick? Jay Pearson(Nardini)? She has problems. Emotional problems. Her relation with her work, with her boss and with her sister's boyfriend are proves of this. The boss is a pig, a "macho", another sick man who harass her. Her sister is a woman emotionally immature, needy, and desperate to be loved and wanted. And the good looking psychiatrist? He's in the center of all. He's inexpressive. Suspiciously inexpressive. And playing a double game. At the end we will know that he's a very mentally sick man. The one character that really touched my heart and emotions was Anthony Soames. Another seriously mentally and emotionally disturbed man who was screaming for help. And nobody helped him. Neither his wife nor his psychiatrist. His wife seemed blind and deaf to the obvious sickness of her husband. She never tried to approach him, to help him in anyway. There is a scene where they were in bed, he had "failed in his marital duties" -of course because of his sick sexual fantasies-, he sat on the border of the bed and looked up at her. She was absent, lighting a cigarette. Oh, how I wanted to kill her in that moment! And his psychiatrist? He didn't help. He was destroying Anthony transferring to him his own traumas. Anthony Soames was a victim. And he was destroyed. Very sad.
