That’s correct. Siegel stars in Hypnotic as Jenn Tompson, a woman who’s struggling to move on from her past. When she’s introduced to a new therapist, she’s hesitant to try hypnotherapy…but she caves eventually. It doesn’t take long for her to realize that it was a huge mistake. Not only can the doctor control her from afar, but he’s also responsible for several patient deaths involving hypnotherapy. Although she wants to cut all ties, she soon realizes it’s easier said than done.
