Console best movie i've ever seen.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
fairlesssam This movie is very disappointing. It has a strong cast who deliver on the acting side but the script is poor with little for the cast to work on. The story has been done before in movies such as re- animator so you would hope in a new more modern version things would be pretty good. Sadly this is not the case. As the movie begins they experiment on a dog which, after re- animating, changes it's behaviour and it's brain activity is much altered. This direction of the film was developing pretty nicely but instead of continuing along that path it suddenly jumps way off into another direction when Zoe (Olivia Wilde) gets electrocuted.I found the film to be very frustrating, there was very little character or plot development, it's very shallow and quite boring. It comes across as a very low budget movie even though Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Ray Wise and Evan Peters are all in it and it states the budget was some $3.3 million dollars!In my opinion it is a wasted opportunity and I wouldn't recommend it.
Aaron-UK The movie is clearly a homage to Flatliners, but that's not in any way negative. Character building is fairly honest and I enjoyed seeing Evan Peters here as he has a good presence on screen.However for me personally I couldn't help but feel the movie got to that magic moment and decided to back away for a more modest and somewhat safe approach. Had that door been opened this movie could have become so much more.In the end the movie was interesting, and anything that Blumhouse or Jason Blum is involved in tends to be worth a look see for me.
johndescy I think this is way underrated. While this is nothing intellectual, it is indeed an entertaining horror movie. Acting is quite good and it is overall pretty well made. I also don't think it's a weakness, that big parts of the background story are left to the viewers imagination. Did any horror story ever get better, when everything is explained? I don't think so. We get to know enough for the story to unfold, and I think that's totally OK for a scary movie. Yes, it's more popcorn cinema than deep or demanding, but I think it's thrilling and fun to watch.
eng-bmoradi This movie is amazing , Many ideas are not original , Many are cliché but still this was totally a very good movie . I rated it 8 because from start to finish it was entertaining I really don't understand what's wrong with people Is it a new wave of mentally disordered people who can't tell between a good and a bad movie ? This movie was a very good horror movie , simple as that , It has jump scares , The story has it's own depth , The ending could have been better but still it had a last surprise Again , There is something seriously wrong with the people who rated this less than 6 . This movie is very underrated ,
