Lifechanger

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"

If you just expect a horror movie, you'll be disappointed. This is an example of how you can tell a beautiful story (drama / romance) supported by horror elements. 'Lifechanger' does it very well. I watched knowing nothing about it and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't quite like clear-cut films; I prefer when genres intertwine to produce something unique. Indie films don't have to follow the rules as much as bigger productions, so they sometimes give us little gems like this one. However I do understand that horror buffs might feel misled about the trailer; hence why I never watch them!

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 one of those movies I randomly stumbled upon late one night on Netflix and it reminded me of my younger days when I'd randomly come upon some unknown film on TV or at the video store and it would pleasantly surprise me.

If you're looking for blood and guts or jump out of your seat moments, Lifechanger might not be your cup of tea. What Lifechanger offers is a thoughtful, moody meditation on life and love that I wasn't expecting. What would you do if, to survive, you had to change bodies every few days or so even if it meant killing that person?

Lifechanger reminds me more of a George Romero or David Cronenberg movie where you're never scared in the traditional sense, but there's that creeping sense of dread and sadness throughout.

The acting is excellent throughout and the film is beautifully shot, especially considering its budget. I say definitely check this one out.
