Genre: Crime
Description: **Alter Ego (2021) – Full Movie Download in English 720p and 1080p**
**Storyline:**
The film tells the story of a paranoid, reclusive genius author who spends a night in his isolated mansion, waiting for his own creation to emerge and destroy him. The plot revolves around a writer haunted by his literary work, a theme reminiscent of classics like Stephen King’s *The Dark Half* and Oliver Stone’s *Seizure* (also known as *Queen of Evil*).
Detective DiBiasse, played by Eric Roberts, arrives at the scene of his last case, accompanied by his rookie trainee. The location is the home of Alan Schaeffer, a best-selling author portrayed by Dylan Walsh. Schaeffer is convinced that his life is in imminent danger and insists he will not survive the night if left alone. He believes that Ivan Tanner, a serial killer he created in his novels, is coming to kill him before he can finish his latest book, which would end Tanner’s story.
However, the security guard who arrives at Schaeffer’s home is skeptical of his claims, dismissing them as the delusions of a troubled mind. As the night unfolds, Schaeffer’s fears escalate, leading to a tense and suspenseful atmosphere.
**Review:**
*Alter Ego* feels like two separate films stitched together, possibly a short story extended with additional footage featuring Eric Roberts. The timelines of Schaeffer and DiBiasse’s investigations never intersect, creating a disjointed narrative. With only about an hour of actual content in its 78-minute runtime, the film feels rushed and lacks depth, leaving viewers wanting more substance and coherence.
Despite its intriguing premise, the execution falls short, leaving *Alter Ego* as an underdeveloped addition to the genre of writers haunted by their creations.
