This deftly made French psychological thriller terrifies with its exploration of an experiment gone horribly wrong. Dr. Marc Lacroix, a psychiatrist specializing in brain functions, is obsessed with the link between mind and spirit. To find his link he studies the criminally insane. He builds a secret machine, known only to his mistress Marianne, in which he hopes to exchange minds between humans. He simultaneously wants to help the mentally ill recover, and he wants to experience their madness. He chooses the psychotic killer, Zyto, a man who stabbed at least three women, for his experiment. The initial experiment is successful and the two exchange minds. But trouble ensues when Zyto refuses to reverse the switch. There is little Marc can do when Zyto takes over Marc's life, and more ominously his wife and child whom are unknowingly in mortal danger. Marc, encased in Zyto's body, is returned to the asylum. Will Marc's wife recognize the danger? Will Zyto kill again?

The latest show for WSU (the next one will take place on September 12 and will be called Excellence) with some interesting matches on the program. We have the sequel and end of the tournament for the Spirit Title, defending the team titles against the Dollhouse of pas-Mia Yim and not-Marti Belle, and finally Cherry Bomb defends its title for the first time against Tessa Blanchard. This show begins - with a promo of the Office. We have a sudden break from the beginning, then Stephie announces that Allysin Kay is not present and that Hania replaces her in the tournament because why not. Yeah, I do not know if it was planned or not, but it is perhaps time not to book Kay who magnifies a show on two (she was at a house show of GFW instead). She also announces that Shanna has not been able to move and that Cataldo is left without a match, but music sounds and here it is. In short, he gets excited for a moment and wants a match against Stephie for later that she accepts. After that
