Mundane at first, Bilocations grows as it performs with its careful direction, interesting ideas and compelling mystery. Sadly, they’re stretched out very thinly, become too convoluted and fail to deliver in this unimpressive mystery/thriller about ghostly doppelgängers.
We’re introduced to a host of stereotypical characters – a housewife, a cop, a student, a rich guy, and a unnecessary secretive guy – all facing the curse of “doubles” called Bilocations. These beings automatically seek to inflict chaos and destruction on the lives of their real counterparts.
Questionably complex, with a habit of performing plot twists that hadn’t satisfied a reason to be revealed in the first place, Bilocations is stretched out way too long to justify its 2 hours. Its curious arrangement of events and insistence on romance is suspiciously episodic, suggesting that a TV drama or series of comic books was likely, and would have been better, as its original form.
Rating: 4/10
