The Sender

The Sender (1982) starring Zeljko Ivanek, Kathryn Harrold. A young man, patient John Doe 83 (Ivanek), is admitted to a mental hospital after he tries to kill himself. John Doe turns out to be a "sender," a telepath who broadcasts his thoughts to those around him. Only trouble is, he can't control it, and it usually happens while he's dreaming, or hallucinating. Doe wreaks havoc in the psychiatric hospital when he begins sending his visions out to his fellow patients. Harrold plays Doctor Farmer, who first begins to understand his condition. Usually I'm inclined to like this sort of movie, but this one was no great shakes. It was OK. No subtitles and no Extras, but it does have closed captions. Grade: B
