WTF was this about. It made no sense unless you invoke magic. The idea isn't any different from similar genres. In fact it doesn't add anything new maybe except for confusion. A guy who's estranged father dies leaving a son (who isn't really his son) with a lot of wedge and a big house. But there's a problem. The 'dad' has a sister who they don't know if she lives. So he has to find if she's alive. That's the first problem. I'm no expert on US law but I would think as there is a sole surviving child the sibling has no rights. Anyhoo off they trot to an insane asylum and there the confusion starts. It jumps back and forwards in time (approx 30 years) with two of the characters actually not changing in age. It made no sense. No explanation forthcoming either. One character ends up drowning while spaced out on LSD. Some random down and out appears twice with no idea what that's about (maybe I missed something). Was this a horror? A paranormal ? Science Fiction? Time travel? Who knows. Too disjointed. Made no sense. Ending was a cop out.
