Lifechanger - Die Gestaltwandler

I see a lot of negative reviews about this film, however I found it decent enough.

The premise was good, the execution not brilliant, but the film leads you down the path of appreciating what you have and to not take anything for granted. Until you realise this film is supposed to hit you emotionally and isn't packed with action, you wont fully appreciate it.

Not as bad as many say...If you look at it from the philosophical point of view,the film asks ,in it's own way.questions,that makes life miserable for thinking people:Who am I?Why I'm here?Is it really me or a mask?What is love,if we are the ones always to destroy it anyway???Not a horror,more of a essay about meaning of life...Look at it that way and it is pretty clever film...I liked it.

Lifechanger is a very unique horror movie which had me gripped throughout. It's very much a character study of one man/woman who can take the forms of other people but has to kill them to do so. Sprinkled with a love story and some pretty gruesome body horror for good measure, Lifechanger is a very special kind of horror movie that I'm sure won't be for everyone but I loved it.

The acting is superb and I really got into the character's heads which really helped, expecially because the lead is quite a dark character.

Great Cinematogtaphy and sound design add to its eerie atmosphere and tone. I would strongly reccomend you give this one a shot.

MOVIE: 3/5 PICTURE: 5/5 SOUND: 4/5 CAST: 5/5

I enjoyed watching this flick. I did feel confused at some of the plot lines but that on the side this was a fun watch. The premise was simple but effective. I think it could of been produced a little differently to really ramp the motives but still it didn't deter too much from what was a creepy movie.

"Lifechanger" could have been a good movie...but it is not. The theme of shape-shifter successfully used in the gem "The Hidden" (1987), or "Fallen" (1998), is poorly used in "Lifechanger". The screenplay is lame and never works, with an awful and unpleasant narrative in off and none character development that are presented in one-dimension. The unknown cast is acceptable for a low-budget film and they do their best with the terrible script. The locations are also selected in accordance with the budget supported by poor cinematography. The attempt to make an ambiguous conclusion in the gross style of David Cronemberg does not work. Better off watch "The Hidden" again, one of the best cult-movies of this genre. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): 'Lifechanger"
