Review by David Rupp
A young doctor in a US hospital administers a powerful and untested cocktail of drugs to a coma victim. But instead of curing him, it triggers a powerful "out-of-body" experience and enables the patient - a depraved and dangerous loner - to inhabit other people's bodies and, through them, take revenge on the bullying medical students who were accidentally responsible for his condition. The doctor, who was herself a part of this group, is also targeted and as her colleagues are singled out and relentlessly picked off, she realises that she can trust no-one - friend or stranger - as this comatose killer moves in and out of bodies at will, getting ever closer as his murderous supernatural powers increase.
Directed by: Paddy Breathnach and written by: Spence Wright. Starring: Arielle Kebbel, Sarah Carter, Stephen Dillane, Andrew Lee Potts, Alex Wyndham, Katie McGrath, Christina Chong, Martin Compston, Michael Jibson & MyAnna Buring.
This movie showed so much promise, so much to look forward to in watching the trailer. It turned out to be so much clever editing. Now it wasn't terribly horrid, it just wasn't exactly as good as I was expecting. It had great production values, some decent effects and acting, it just blended into that mediocre genre swirl of generic horror that has been filler for the meat lately.
With a medical vein running through my family it was easy to pick out also that the homework wasn't double checked on much of the film. One scene in particular, if someone is in a coma, they would be intebated and have more monitors than just the EKG leads. Enough on that I could go on all day. I would be hard pressed to seriously reccomend this, but if you have nothing else and want to blur the edges of mediocrity, by all means check this out. 4/10.
