The plot is so transparent and derivative that nothing I write here could possibly come as a surprise when it happens on screen.

I used to do SFX makeup for haunted houses where we had like 15 minutes per person and had to do a dozen each a night. Even though it was only (barely) seen in a dark, poorly lit room by kids and/or drunk adults, it all STILL looked better than what's shown here.

I swear, the brunette looks like her "stitches" are some kids temporary tattoos they're so bad. The "creepy" nails on the old man literally look like they're just cut out of old yellow tape and stuck it on. I am gobsmacked that anyone thought ANY of that was good enough for film, and I'm not even watching on an HD set!

Not worth renting, not worth watching. At all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Disquiet is a pseudo intellectual film, in the same way that M. Night Shyamalan films are pseudo intellectual.

You can tell they were going for a The Sixth Sense type of model here.

Though, it doesn't quite work as well.

The whole thing is effectively the same film as Wristcutters: A Love Story, just with people in comas, instead of people who have committed suicide.

However...it's just not very entertaining.

You strain to keep track of everything, knowing a big revelation is on it's way.

But it just doesn't hit like it should.

They got something akin to A Field In England going on- with angels and demons in play, to give it a bit of nuance.

Alongside a sort of Wizard Of Oz angle, where those trapped in this world must "learn their lesson" in order to escape.

But most don't.

And if you die in the game...you die in real life.

To be fair...there's definitely something to the concept.

It's actually a pretty cool idea (which likely isn't far off from the "real life" state of things - think, like The Matrix).

However, the story- and execution of the idea behind it- need to be improved.

I chock up it's failure to impress, to it's pseudo intellectual nature.

As it's just outside of that sweet spot in the middle ground.

Not being intellectual enough to please the cinerati...and too complex for your average Netflix viewer.

Meaning that it's not likely to please anyone.

3 out of 10 (for trying).

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.

What was a good feeling in the first 5 mins of the movie, then quickly deteriorates as the acting and script kicks in. It is so frustrating obvious to see what was trying to be done here, but sadly, the concept misses the mark completely. What could have been a horror masterpiece concludes with a plink plonk piano soundtrack to a lame finish as you hit that realisation that you should have just watched Silent Hill again, and then again.

Special effects can be decent. Make up is not. Boob job zombies are decent. Blurred shot of what looks a cracking pair of boobs is frustratingly not.

D- must try harder.

Well, this movie certainly was in a league of its own.

I had not heard about this 2023 thriller titled "Disquiet" from writer and director Michael Winnick prior to stumbling upon it by random chance. And seeing that the movie had Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the leading role, I figured that chances were that it might be a watchable enough movie.

However, I opted to scroll through some reviews of the movie prior to watching it, and those weren't painting the movie in a good light. Yet, I still opted to give "Disquiet" the benefit of the doubt. Though, I ended up turning off the movie with just about 20 minutes left to watch. But I have to admit that I was bored senseless by that point, and just couldn't take more of the torment that is "Disquiet".

Writer and director Michael Winnick put together a very, very bland script for the movie. And there wasn't much of anything that really made much of any coherent sense throughout the course of the movie. It felt, for the most parts, just like the writer and director made things up as the shooting of the movie progressed.

The acting performances in "Disquiet" were fair enough. Not Jonathan Rhys Meyers finest work by any means, but watchable nonetheless. There were three familiar faces on the cast list here for me, that being Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Lochlyn Munro and Garry Chalk.

Visually then "Disquiet" was an okay movie. The special effects were fair enough, but nothing that had me impressed or anything. But it was just lacking that particular ingredient to make it outstanding.

For a thriller then "Disquiet" was a rather strange one. I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Disquiet", I just happened not to find much of any enjoyment in the movie.

My rating of "Disquiet" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

Tension, chills, and horror when a After a near-fatal car accident, Sam (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) wakes up to discover that he is trapped in an abandoned hospital by mysterious and sinister forces who have no intention of letting him go. Happenings lead to terrible results when an evil is unleashed and there is an insatiable need for death, blood and vengeance. Tensions rise with a horrific event that seems to be coming back !.

A bloody and dark story of genre cinema starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers in an inferior horror film with blooy and scary events but without much sense. Throughout, a series of terrible accidents and strange appearances happen to our protagonist in which he is usually injured but still lived, the happenings extending to the predictable conclusion. Intriguing film containing terror, drama, thrills, chills, suspense , plot twists and results to be briefly entertaining, and a little slow. Director Micahel Winnick is also the author of the script providing tense, eerie, and bloody scenes. The highlight of the film is the opressive atmosphere, including the vast, eerie rooms, wards and corridors from hospital. Starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers gives a so-so acting as the deranged patient who becomes involved in fantastically creepy events. He is accompanied by a largely unknown cast, such as: Rachelle Goulding, Elyse Levesque, Garry Chalk, Anita Brown with the exception of the prolific Lochlyn Munro, a regular supporting cast in both film and television.

This ¨Disquiet¨(2023) displays a somber and appropriate photography for the spooky events that take place, darkly shot by cameramen Adam Sliwinski and Mel Ward. Likewise, a thrilling and suspenseful score by Rich Walters and filmed in Vancouver, Columbia Británica, Canadá. The motion picture was lousily directed by Michael Winnick, and results to be a bit boring. Michael Winnick is a B-craftsman with no much success, who has written/produced a directed a few films with penchant for action and terror genre, such as: ¨Malicious¨, ¨Shadow puppets¨, ¨Code of Honor¨, ¨Dark asset¨, ¨The Better Half¨, ¨Deuces¨, ´3Day Test¨, ¨Guns, Girls and Gambling¨, among others. Disquiet(2023) rating: 3.5/10. Below average. Only for Jonathan Rhys Meyers fans.

I am not really sure what I expected, I just wanted to stop scrolling through movies and I recognised the actors and clicked it. I don't know much about movie production but the SFX in this were the worst I've ever seen in any movie. I almost couldn't believe it was on Netflix at all, I thought surely they'd have movies that actually had some kind of budget.

It was just like, stitches drawn on with vivid, and Halloween blood painted on. There was a shot of boobs that I didn't really understand as well. The cop was the worst.

I don't even mind bad movies but this was embarassingly bad to be honest.

The premise is as basic as could be. Man gets into an accident and suddenly wakes up in a dimly-lit hospital confused out of his mind as he pulls out various tubes that were attached to his body, include a feeding tube.

I wish there was one good thing about this movie, but there's nothing. The dialogue is bad. The random Nurse Ratchet-type nurse was comically hilarious. I do not even know how movies like these keep being made if the dialogue is poor and the plot and ending is predictable. The whole point of a movie is to keep someone entertained. Even poorly-made ones make up for it through unintentional laughs. This had nothing. It was a complete disappointing time wasting mess.

Wow. I though this could have been a really interesting horror movie.

Turns out, it's not. It's just really, really, really, really, really bad.

First of all it's really cheaply made. The budget must have been next to nothing.

Secondly, if you're going to make a cheap movie at least TRY to find a main character who can actually act. The main dude in this movie is dismal.

He has zero charisma, speaks in a monotone and quite simply, cannot act his way out of a paper bag. And his voice over narration is cringe worthy.

I was bored silly. The nurse who pops up now and again makes you think this is supposed to be a burlesque comedy, not a horror drama.

This is not a real review, it should be understood more as a collection of impressions on the film.

In my opinion, such a low rating of this film is truly merciless because we should reward the idea that even if banal it is still really very beautiful and from the middle onwards it is also managed quite well, the thing that matters most about this film is the initial part which it's really badly made and it's a terrible shame, it seems that unlike many other films here they didn't want to make the beginning and so they dragged it out and then gained passion and desire in the rest of the film. So I believe that the film is underrated and deserves a little more consideration because in the end it is entertaining and fully sufficient.

So bored watching this peace of rubbish, however I kept watching because I always wait for the plot to improve. Ordinary to really bad acting. Terrible makeup and the plot is not logical.

It doesn't really make a lot of sense and is quite silly. It could have been a whole lot better. I think that if the acting was better and the make up wasn't so ridiculous it may of passed as a watchable movie. The storyline didn't really flow. Quite amateurish.

Don't waste your time on this movie. Slightly entertaining but not well done at all. In fact I could barley pay attention to it.

Yeah nah I do not recommend watching this movie at all.

I am as disappointed and as confused as the other guys here. The story started out good but eventually crashes down to a completely nonsense plot. The flashbacks from "Virgil" didn't made sense even with the explanations, the evil girls who had cosmetic surgery looked like pop star wannabees with their DIY wounds, the plus size nurse also didn't made sense and when he got stabbed a lot of times got me even more confused. The first scene also felt like Rick from the Walking Dead.

The ending somehow made sense after reading a review here about going to the light which means the lead and the little girl died.

No wonder this movie doesn't have a wiki page.
