Story: Psychosis starts when criminal fixer Cliff Van Aarle (Amoroso) cleans up incidents. His main clients are the dead with the voices and demons taking control of his life. Cliff finds out his latest clients mixed with one of the deadliest gangs in the city and finds himself in the middle of a bigger war.

Cliff dives into an underworld much more confusing than his normal investigations. He finds his voices taking him down a series of darker paths he can’t control, stepping deeper into the supernatural.

Verdict on Psychosis

Psychosis is a horror thriller following an investigator who connects with the dead to solve incidents. However, his latest case finds him dealing with forces he has never tackled before. He finds it hard to control the demons and understand what reality is or not.

This movie takes us on an unusual criminal investigation. It dives into supernatural and unlikely visitors. However, it gets caught up in creating a strange criminal gang and committing to pure supernatural. It leaves things feeling odd, difficult to follow and hard to understand what is real or not.
