    Not as bad as many say...

    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.

    Excellent Low Budget Chiller

    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.

    Quite an enjoyable film!

    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!

    Deserves a better retelling

    A bizarre and original story with a few flaws. A mysterious and creepy treat for those who enjoy horror.

    Lifechanger follows a serial killing shapeshifter who needs to change bodies so often or else he will die. A fun concept that can be explored in film. Yet, the implementation makes the low-budget nature of this film too obvious. From cheesy noise effects to random changes in pacing. This film tries to achieve much yet has flaws that can be suspense breaking.

    Yet, I respect that this film focuses less on jumpscare and more on suspense building. The blood and guts can be toned down and the film remain powerful. Conflict feels like it's dished out to the audience instead of a more natural flow. If only the directors knew to rely less on cheaper effects for more powerful storytelling.

    Acting is excellent throughout. Each character giving their own spin on the film. It's a bit tragic and sad with more emphasis on drama than horror.

    2.5/5.

    Interesting Movie

    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.
