Synopsis: | In a decadent society, everything is entertainment. This is the world of Hypnotik. At the infamous Palace Theatre, a hypnotist promises psychic healing to volunteers. One by one he beckons his subjects to the stage where under his entrancement they reveal their most abject and malignant drives. But when the self-described "spectacle of raw shame" fails to deliver a group catharsis, the game of shame gives way to horror, as the Seer stares into a whirlwind poised to swallow more than just the Palace and its host. Hypnotik: The Seer Will Doctor You Now is loosely based on the bizarre and intriguing life of the Viennese occultist Eric Jan Hanussen, a celebrity in the Berlin theater scene during the rise of Hitler's Third Reich. | |||||
