Per chance, I stumbled over The Scribbler. The cinematography is very well done and the atmosphere etc. reminded me a little of The Fight Club, but after half an hour or so I was more and more detached and in the end even bored. What happened!? I guess for me the switch between the mental illness and thriller theme to the supernatural-whatever just didn't work. On top, the mid section of the movie felt overstretched to me and with too much filling material, it's like a record with a few really good songs but the rest is just fillers. In my view, the material of the story is for certain interesting and got potential but even if you got good and tasty ingredients sometimes if you put them together they just don't work out well together. Btw - someone remembers The Million Dollar Hotel (2000) with Gibson and Jovovich by Wim Wenders!? Well, you won't get superheroes there but you get also a building filled with weird characters and murder etc. Well, I will re-watch The Million Dollar Hotel - thx to The Scribbler!

Anyway, the aficionado of the unusual and weird may dare a look.
