    I got suckered

    I deserve to have the word "sucker" tattooed on my forehead. I'd just finished watching season 2 of Flight of the Conchords and was in need of more. Stumbled across an advert for this film and immediately ordered it.

    Jemaine appears in precisely one scene (about 2 minutes) Murray appears in 2 scenes (about 3 minutes in total) Bret appears in 5 or 6 scenes as a peripheral inconsequential character.

    Truly awful pedestrian plot not worthy of a TV movie. I can only assume that the three starts of FotC got suckered into making this movie themselves.

    Really, don't bother with this. I gave it 3 stars and I think in retrospect I was being very kind. At that point I still had 20 minutes to go.

    Skip this one.

    There is Cancer, then an experimental drug trial. Then comes the nurse who seems evil. Hallucinations are blamed on the drugs. Two of the patients form kind of a bond to try and figure out what it is that's happening to them.

    If this review sounds boring, that's because the movie was. So boring I couldn't even finish watching it. If this review was here before I watched the movie, It would have saved me an hour. So hopefully this will save you that time.

    It's a bit silly to me that IMDb won't a low a nice succinct review. In order to express an opinion you have to write up a mini-biography of the movie. I do and do and do for you people, and this is the thanks I get!

    pretty awesome!!

    A very well composed film; funny, scary and down right nonsense (in a good way). Good acting, great storyline, alright script. Very awesome film will definitely watch this again :) shame the flight of the chonchords trio weren't in it more though, the writer of the film missed a trick there unfortunately. But, a great light hearted comedy horror :) kept me interested and on the edge of my seat throughout. Should definitely of been more of a detective type horror with the chonchords starring. that, now, would be amazing :) Not up there with the great films but nowhere near the bottom. A very good try, but could've been better.

    A truly strange but funny film

    Watched this with some friends. Found it most useful for ridicule, a la MST 3K.

    A teenage student (who appears to be 30) and a teacher for whatever reason agree to participate in a drug trial locked into a clinic with a confused doctor (Flight of the Concords' Bret McKenzie), an insane nurse, and, as it turns out, a family of ghosts looking for revenge. They experience hallucinations and explore the mystery of how the ghosts died.

    The movie is laugh out loud hilarious with the three main cast member of Flight of the Concords popping in and out randomly. The mystery makes no sense. The sexual relationship between the girl and the teacher would be creepy were she not clearly about as old as he is. The climax is ridiculously artificial.

    Basically, grab a beer and make fun of Diagnosis Death and you can have a good time. Take it seriously, and you'll be lost.

    Enjoyable light comedy/horror

    Anyone watching this expecting a horror will be missing the point. This is a movie which includes in cameo roles the stars of Flight of the Conchords.

    There's nothing serious about this movie, and the plot is very light; the reason to watch this movie is the characters, who though almost only two dimensional in depth, are very likable.

    The tone/rhythm of the movie is a lot like Flight of the Conchords, as is it's subdued humor.

    There really isn't much more to say about this movie.

    I enjoyed quite a bit.

    It's a light, enjoyable snack.
