The Coming
Renowned psychiatrist Sam Allyn has fallen from grace, landing at a remote institution specializing in the Jerusalem syndrome, the sudden belief that one is a living, breathing figure from the Bible. There he confronts Patient X, whose behavior is so volatile, so mysterious, so infectious that Sam begins to question whether she is really suffering from psychosis or from something far more terrifying– something not to be cured but destroyed. The Coming is a psychological thriller that pits good vs. evil, sanity vs. insanity, and has us questioning which one is which.

I saw this film on Prime, even though there isn't a release year attached to it here, IMDB says 2023. It concerns disgraced and down on his luck, Jewish psychiatrist, Sam Allyn, who ends up working at the dilapidated Mt. Carmel Psychiatric Hospital, which specialises in Jerusalem Syndrome, people believing they are actually living persons from The Bible. One of the interred is 'Patient X' but is she suffering from this syndrome or could she be far more important and is Sam just a psychiatrist or could he be there for another reason? I quite liked this, not all of the performances were great but most were good, Seth Panitch who plays Sam, is sneeringly unlikeable and Jyreika Guest who is Patient X/Mirabeth, and who seems to have unnerving control over the other patients, is very solid
