Necessary Evil (2008)

Journalism student Deborah decides to do an expose on Edgewater Psychiatric Institute.  Her professor urges her not to as the Institute provides lots of funding for the college.  He also advises her that she is not doing serious journalism because her theories are more like creative writing.  It doesn't help that the title of her paper is Necessary Evil.

But Deborah is not to be dissuaded and her professor gets her an interview with Dr. Fibrian.  Upon arriving, she starts with her first question to try to pin down some wrong doing at the Institute, which is not the way to get any information out of a potential source or wrongdoer.

Deborah is asked if she would like some tea.  When she says yes, they reach under the reception counter and pull out a cup full of tea.  Deborah proves her perceptive powers are not that great when she it not at all suspicious about a full cup of tea being under a desk after accusing a potentially unethical doctor of wrongdoing while in a place where she could potentially be locked up and never seen again.

As she starts getting drowsy, she asks, "why are you doing this to me?"  Well it's probably because the good investigative journalists are discrete and don't barrel into lock down accusing an evil doctor of unethical behavior.

There is also a detective who is not too bright as his main personality trait is that he keeps getting attacked from behind.

The big reveal is the drug they are using is Reficul..... say it backwards.  Lucifer?  Oh my!  Did I miss why they gave this girl fake parents and memories?  What is the purpose and why would they let her get out in the world?  Terrible!  Why did I watch this?  Oh yes, it has Lance Henriksen as the doctor.
