Deadly Illusions presents an intriguing concept reminiscent of Shirley but falls short due to poor execution, numerous plot holes, and confusing lines between reality and imagination that dilute the main story. While the cinematography, camera work, and soundtrack are commendable, weak acting—especially Mary’s overly cheerful portrayal—and inconsistent storytelling undermine the film’s impact.
