Shapeshifter

The fact that I had never heard about the 2018 horror movie "Discarnate" hardly mattered in my choice to sit down and watch the movie. It being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, much less actually heard about, was sufficient enough to make me sit down and give the movie a fair chance.

Writers Mario Miscione and Marcella Ochoa put together a fair enough script, but I have to admit that for a horror movie then it just wasn't particularly outstanding. Sure, it was a watchable and enjoyable enough movie, but it just failed to stand out among so many other horror movies.

There were a couple of familiar faces on the cast list, such as Thomas Kretschmann, Nadine Velazquez and Josh Stewart. I will say that the acting performances in the movie were definitely good.

The effects in "Discarnate" were good, and that definitely added something to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

Watchable, sure, but ultimately it was a generic and forgettable horror experience. The movie's cover, however, was far more interesting than what the movie turned out to be.

My rating of director Mario Sorrenti's 2018 horror movie "Discarnate" lands on a bland five out of ten stars.

The first thing I look for is the cast.... seen Josh Stewart of The Collector, The Collection and The Neighbor which was good start. The synopsis looked very interesting but then I pressed play. The story was all over the place, the characters back stories were barely touched and the reveal was a let down like the movie unfortunately.

Wasn't great. Wasn't horrible. The setting was the most interesting part of the film. The characters you feel most for are the rats.

Discarnate: A team of researchers try out a serum to try to get to the other side, beyond death. At first they wonder if they are hallucinating but then the world around them is affected. Poltergeist effects. They seedeceased relatives, the leader of the team believes that he lost his son to a supernatural entity a decade ago but he sees and converses with a girl wearing an animal mask. Strange monstrously morphing creatures then start to appear. something has crossed over. It's been done before but the monsters are freaky and the colonial style ranch they use ax a base adds to the weirdness. Good effects and the acting is ok , the film has a shaky start due to eccentric editing but i's a sold If unoriginal) horror film. Written and Directed by Mario Sorrenti in his feature debut. 6/10.

This is one of the absolute worst movies I've seen. People doing an experiment travel to an isolated house. They each take the drug that is developed and then goes off doing their own thing. Very scientific!! The only known actress is scantily clad to lure in that demographic... So many things wrong here!! Avoid!!
