Even with the 100% implausible plot and situations, it actually held my attention until the very end. There are scenes that are nicely done and the suspense is through the roof. There are other scenes that you simply have to suspend all disbelief and just be entertained. The final battle between the heroine and the maniac coroner ends in a very well done makeup effect that is both gruesome and also a lesson in anatomy. Although I wasn't familiar with the lead actress, she did well in the role. Most will recognize the evil coroner, Jerry O'Connell, from television and other movies. His deadpan delivery and reserved portrayal was effective.

This movie starts off messy. The story, acting, characters, felt so poorly created as a horror fan I couldn't see its value. But after we get comfortable in the morgue and the chase is on it picks up. By the end it had my full attention. I really thought they messed up with the lead actress initially but now I get why she was hired. Young lady can scream and showed excellent range in the second half. Displayed great rage. Not just the damsel I thought it was setting her up for. I could see her growing as a scream queen. Hope to see her in more films. Part of why I wanted to stick things out was Jerry O' Connell and he's a great villian in this. I've seen him pop up in a few horrors before and he always entertains. I grew up with his films so I may have a bias admittedly. By the end they do an excellent job at creating a monster. I could see a sequel happen with his character. I'm not a big gore fan, it's not too excessive but body parts are involed so don't be too caught off guard. There's not a lot of bad language. Because I'd read the negative reviews I thought it was worth sharing a positive experience. First half I was going to give it a 4, enjoyed the second so much it earned two points.

For the budget and premise this movie actually is pretty entertaining. Granted there are some pretty bad plot holes around character decisions and a few other things, but I found myself engaged( mostly from the increasing tension and acting.

The lead female does a fantastic job and is able to showcase her range here. I could see her leading a few bigger budget films soon.

The movie overall has some bad scenes (like the first scene) but don't let that put you off. Once it gets going it's pretty entertaining with some solid gore and a few minor twists. I think the production was well executed. I could see shudder or Amazon prime picking this up soon. 6.5/10.

I know you usually have to suspend some disbelief in horror and sci fi movies, but there are limits, and this movie strains credibility to the limit right out of the gate.

The main character's loser brother is involved in a robbery that goes wrong, and his partner is shot and killed. He realizes there's evidence on the guy's phone that will incriminate him (these are not the brightest bulbs). His sister, who is a medical student, comes up with a "brilliant" idea: she will take propofol to fake her own death, she'll get taken to the morgue, and steal the phone.

Of course, propofol won't do that. There's a good chance it will really kill you, like it did to Michael Jackson, but otherwise you'll be quite obviously alive. Even if they thought she was dead, she was somehow confident that she would be put somewhere where she could easily find the other guy and his phone, rather than, you know, in a drawer that she couldn't get out of. Like they say in the commercial, "When you're in a horror movie, you make bad choices. It's what you do."

Without giving away any spoilers, the "twist" is pretty obvious - and completely unbelievable.

On the other hand, the acting is pretty good, and if you check your brain at the door, it's reasonably entertaining to watch.

OK I had pretty much guessed the story before hand, but watched anyway to see if it would be a bad acting or a surprise, I have to say on first starting off the w young lads actually had me engaged in their car with topics and play, the acting was solid from the young guy and mortician, unfortunately half way through it does start to feel flat cheesy and nit the best aesthetic settings. They do try to end it on a high note kinda when stories over give it that apocalyptic feel dusk till dawn. The end special effect in a certain scene was laughable but I went with it because it picked bk up. Our protagonist and antagonist carried this thin film with their acting abilities. Without them it would've been a failure. But will probably be good for first time horror watchers.

The movie has so many parts of the story that make no sense and aren't plausible in any way. Having said that if you can get past that and suspend reality for an hour and a half it's entertaining. Bailee Madison does a great job as always and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jerry O'Connell plays the creepy Coroner really well. The twist at the end involving the police officer really isn't a twist since you can see it coming a mile away. Overall, if you have an evening to spend and are looking for a movie to watch, you can do much worse than this if you're willing to accept the unbelievable story.

Medical student Chloe Albright (Bailee Madison) has money troubles. Unbeknownst to her, her brother and her boyfriend try to rob a dispensary. It goes badly and the boyfriend gets killed. Chloe has to play dead to sneak into the morgue and retrieve his phone which would lead back to her and her brother. Jerry O'Connell plays the creepy coroner.

On its surface, the premise seems like fine horror fare, but it really doesn't hold water. The attempted robbery would result in an investigation. It's an open case which needs to exonerate the shooter. They would need a much bigger conspiracy to hide a body from a case like this. He's not some forgotten homeless John Doe. The basic premise is problematic. The other problem is the lack the visual ingenuity or horror inventiveness. The filmmaking is weak. Bailee and Jerry do some fine work, but there is nothing much more that. It's a B-horror with problems.

As others mentioned,which is true.. Wasn't bad or good,but until you get into discovering the coroner's evil side-business it was passable.

Unfortunately it starts falling apart with plot holes,clichés & eye roll moments.. Yes! It's a movie,but still something to be said about keeping it real.

It was cast & acting was average,as was the cinematography. Felt on the higher end,of low-budget or quality. This could of been so much better,it had actual potential. Maybe location,script,cast or director changes might of helped.

Is it worth seeing? Sure if you like,Tubi originals or any of the cast members.

Anyone with an ounce of medical knowledge knows that the first 10 minutes of this film is garbage.

She uses Propofol to induce some sort of coma state, where she is declared to be dead and ends up in the morgue.

Big problem....... Propofol wears off after about 5-10 minutes, and she injected it IM (intra muscular) which does NOT work with propofol which is an IV only medication. Not only that, she would have woken up in about 10 minutes (even if an IM injection of propofol had worked).

THEN, not only do some apparently incompetent medics declare her dead (despite her having a pulse and resp rate), and she ends up in the morgue?

What a pile of unadulterated crap, and I'm not even 10 minutes into the film.

Seriously, 5 minutes of research would have shown this premise to be totally laughable.

Writes of this tripe should be ashamed of themselves.

The movie was rather well done, if slow at times.

Obviously, much of what happens in this movie wouldn't be possible in real life, but that's the point of movies is it not?

The acting is good, and there is more than enough suspense to keep you watching. At times it was slow, but it is still worth watching I think.

If you like movies like "Hush" or "Dont Breathe" then this is along the lines of something you may enjoy.

I will say that it is rather predictable, but if you're alright with that sort of thing don't pass up 'Play Dead'.

Quick Summary: Predictable and slow at times, but still worth watching.

I've just watched this and I really wasn't sure what it was going to be like. I really liked the two main characters in other programmes as seen Chloe in pretty little iars original sin and her brother Tj from love Victor.

It started off slow and wasn't sure as there isn't loads of characters in it so wasn't sure but saw reviews saying give it time. They were so right the second part of this film I really enjoyed and had lots of twists and turns and kept me entertained right until the end.

I really enjoyed it and do recommend it to people just give it a while to get going then you will be surprised. Really enjoyed it.

No pun intended - good old Jerry ... though he also seems not to age that much to be honest. And he plays one of the main roles here. You can guess which part is his ... and you can actually guess a lot of stuff that is going to happen. There are a few moments where this could have ended - one way or another ... but we need a feature length movie now don't we? That was a rhetorical question - I wouldn't have minded to watch this as a short movie.

Acting is ok, but you still may get annoyed by the characters. A lot of blame to go around - what does work though: Special effects (especially the crazy ending - makeup effects), sound and editing. Not that it makes this a super movie, but at least a decent one .. if you are into this sort of thing of course .. and not faint of heart ...

So good i think this underrrated movie deserves more recognition because it is super super good like fr fr not kidding you guys should try this its enjoyable and ofcourse a lot of interesting and with an great ending satisfying twist you guys should try this out,, so good. Your year is not complete if you dont watch these you should check it out the acting and plot with an great story line is such an 10/10 not jokes the maincharacter here is so satisfying such an wonderful movie and such an great characters the ending is also 10/10 so this movie is such an perfection great move of the year!!!!

After a whole sling of mediocre films like Dracula 2000, My Bloody Valentine and Drive Angry, people are probably not really queuing up for another new film by director Patrick Lussier. The story sounds very mediocre in advance and when we look at the cast, the name Jerry O'Connell is perhaps the only name that really rings a bell. Bailee Madison will also know someone here and there, but it actually seems that Play Dead is doomed to failure in advance. When the film opens it actually only confirms the feeling, because the first twenty minutes of the film are very messy and above all very drowsy. Such a story has already been done several times and is a bit reminiscent of films like Saw and Hostel, but with a very low budget. Why do I still want to watch these kinds of movies? Well, luckily it got a lot better after those twenty minutes and you have a pretty entertaining movie at the end of the ride.

Yes, the movie is extremely predictable. You may even think here and there that you will catch the film on gross mistakes, such as unlocking a cell phone from a corpse with a face scan with its eyes closed, but the director did pay a little attention luckily. When Chloe eventually ends up in the mortuary, the tension is soon raised by the director, but this will probably only work for newcomers to the genre. That's what I meant by extremely predictable, you can see the danger coming from miles away, but the jumpscares are also very predictable. Yet the film doesn't express very much and no, we don't come up with a large enough, the script was too dull for that, but the film is not worth an insufficient.

Jerry O'Connell plays the role of flipped corpse detagger fine. He almost does this in a Norman Bates meets Dexter-like way, which keeps the whole thing fun. In the end, it is easy to guess what the ultimate goal of The Coroner is. What may be a shame is that the twist they put in the movie, or that the one that has to go through for a twist that makes your mouth fall open, is killed by the bad acting of Chris Butler who plays Sheriff Duggan. If just a little more attention had been paid to this, the film might have been a little higher at the end of the ride. But anyway, the film was better than you would expect in advance and in the end you will be left amused, at least, I had that again.

Play Dead has become a very nice low budget horror movie. It doesn't surprise anywhere, the twist is just destroyed by bad acting, but the film still had something. It's most reminiscent of a soft mix between the Saw movies and Hostel. No, you should definitely not compare it with those films, because then you will really be disappointed, but it is reminiscent of it in the distance. The film is carried by Jerry O'Connell as The Coroner, but Bailee Madison doesn't do it very undeservedly as Chloe either. The film is worth watching anyway, but you may not have to watch the messy opening of the film for the first twenty minutes. Do it anyway, because Play Dead will be a very amusing movie afterwards.

Starts Off Bad, But Wait, it Gets Worse... Another worst film!

Bad directing. Bad cinematography. Really bad acting. Boring plot with excessive dialog. That about sums it up.

Whoever makes this garbage should stop and focus on something else. Wedding videos maybe? Or possibly just a new career in general because this is fraud.

This film is bad.

But man oh man this is just amateur hour. I've seen better films on the dollar rental shelf back in the 90s.

If the writer/director got funding for this, it is a good example of someone completely wasting time AND MONEY on boring, uninspired trash like this.

Thats why it gets a 3 and because some dialogue was so bad it made me cringe.

Overall I was entertained and the movie held my attention for long. I even got nervous a couple of times which means the director did a good job. At first glance you will think this is a bad ridiculous movie but let it roll and watch it when you actually have time and when you are in a mental state where you can focus to be able to enjoy it. Try to follow whats going on cause many times I forward or do something else in movies with bad beginnings and end up missing scenes which leads to me not understanding whats actually going on Later. Dont do that!

I wouldn't recommend paying to see this movie, its not that good. But give it a shot. Its not that bad either.
