Nocebo Review: An Obvious Plot Derails Supernatural Thriller
A British fashion designer suffers from a mysterious illness that can only be treated by a shamanic Filipina nanny. Nocebo scores style points with good acting, disturbing imagery, and a political message about the consequences of economic exploitation. It unfortunately fails as a supernatural thriller due to a total lack of scares. The film broadcasts its intentions early in the first act. You quickly understand what's happening in the narrative. Then have to wait an arduous ninety-minutes for the characters to catch up. It's an uneven approach that saps the fright factor.
