Disquiet

I love JRM movies and have seen/enjoyed nearly all. That being said, this movie is so horrible (stupid) I turned it off after like 20 mins even though I paid $6 to rent it. For someone who is such a good actor, I was surprised to see him in it. This is one of those movies I can see porn stars who want to go legit starring in.

He's in a bad car accident, wakes up in a creepy hospital, and starts fighting off a weird old guy with bad nails and a bad comb-over. Then the scene randomly cuts to a chick getting plastic surgery and she wakes up to botched plastic surgery ghosts and he/she randomly fight them. That is when I turned it off. JRM learned German for the 12th Man...only to star in this steaming pile?

Save your money and skip this junk.

The plot (or lack thereof) and wooden, sometimes cliche dialogue and makes this feel almost like a parody of cheap horror films. It switches from trying to be somewhat realistic, but then there are stylised shots that are done in a cheesy way, like the 3 shots of the 3 demon women shrieking at the camera in purple lighting. It deserves at least 2 stars instead of 1 because some of the cinematography is decent. The story is about as deep as a puddle, it would probably seem like an epic horror film to a 10 year old, it feels like it was made by one because of how derivative and predictable it is.

Not really sure what they were going for here. Was it to get you to think about your current life and what could happen in the afterlife (if that's your belief)? Is it that people are caught in this never ending pit of purgatory or that if you've lived your life, well, there is that bright light that you can walk into. Not sure what the goal was but it makes for a goodnight of margaritas and a room of friends for a good philosophical discussion.

And on the other hand it could just be a very, very awful film that missed all intended objectives and goals. I'm thinking it's a mix of all things noted, that resulted in a bad movie.

This is quite possibly one of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I for the life of me cannot understand why JRM would do this, he must have been in need of some quick cash.

The simplistic religious undertones are obvious as soon as one of the characters claims she is Dr. Lily and does not like to be called Lilith.

The whole thing is just really bad. It skips all over the place, uses illogical flashbacks within flashbacks yet tries so hard to be taken seriously by heaping on some childish heavy-handed morality play.

I can only recommend this movie if you want to see an example of what really bad filmmaking is.

I find it hard to believe one adult wrote this, another adult directed it, and another adult produced it, as it seems like something out of the mind of a 13-year-old hopped up after a Sunday school sermon.

Sam wakes up from a coma to a nightmarish scenario, he's in a hospital, and everyone seems to want to kill him, he encounters some people, seemingly in the same situation that he's in.

Can someone please explain to me, why is an actor with the looks and talent of Jonathan Rhys Meyers doing trash like this, he's such a good actor, he's genuinely wasted here.

The plot is wafer thin, it's pretty obvious to even the most casual of viewers exactly what is going on here, it's s truly frustrating affair.

I had high hopes after that initial opening sequence, it out me in mind of the very first episode of The Walking Dead, it was creepy and surreal, after that it just nosedives.

If you've watched Inside no.9, it feels like they've nicked the plot of its greatest episode, The Twelve Days of Christine, and tried to rework it into a supposed horror film.

This really just didn't work at all.

3/10.
