Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Cujo108 An invisible force is killing prominent women in Sydney, leaving them sans their eyes. David is a twitchy musician who has visions of the victims whenever he's asleep, usually right before they're attacked. Wondering why he's seeing this, David attempts to warn several women of the danger as well as find out who or what is behind the killings.From cult director Brian Trenchard-Smith, this film is a complete and utter blast. The story isn't always the most coherent, but the film is fun from beginning to end. The lead is quite the dope too, never missing an opportunity to make himself look like the #1 suspect. He even gets involved in some bedtime cat fu. Anyway, the first kill scene is pretty out there, and I liked the use of lighting at the TV reporter's house... reminiscent of Argento's Inferno.I wouldn't say this is a good film, but as far as entertainment goes, it delivers in spades.
gridoon You know, I didn't get paid for sitting through this garbage, so there must be something wrong with me; what kind of a masochist would watch a film like "Out of the Body" for free? A man "has visions of murders". The cops "don't believe him" and "think he committed the murders". He is "possessed by an evil spirit". A tired, senseless script, combined with the strangely amateurish work of an experienced horror director (Brian Trenchard-Smith) and a completely unengaging lead, produce a pathetic time-waster. Not to mention the heavy Australian accents or the poor audio, which make much of the dialogue hard to understand. (*)
mr_spaceman As a horror freak you watch some brilliant movies but on the other hand a whole load of unbelievable terrible films where every good human reasons just goes down the toilet.[Maybe some spoilers in here] Out of the Body is such a failure of mankind. David Gaze dreams of woman which are soon going to be murdered and mutilated. But, of course, he wants to save them (for what reason ever). Nobody believes him, neither the victims nor the police. Only his girlfriend Neva knows: He goes during his dreams on 'astral travels', yes, the best explanation! He contacts a psychiatrist (watch this colorful but senseless wheel turning around as he falls in trance!) but can she save him? Or is she the next victim on the murderers list?Mark Hembrow's (as David Gaze) freaked out performance because of the killings is ridiculous and really bad. A lot scenes doesn't make sense at all, e.g. a women at the evening alone at home hears at the outside a strange noise. What is she doing? Instead of closing the wide open door to the veranda she goes and gets a gun! And as the lights start to flicker inside she just steps out on the veranda...Poor, lame, boring, etc... Don't watch it - I read a newspaper during this movie.
Sweetie-10 One evening I wanted to watch with my two friends the film "Scream" but we had borrowed the wrong one and the lady had given "Out of the Body" to us. So we watched it and we almost just laughed. The whole film is so stupid that I can't really explain it. At the beginning a woman is hanging in the air or when the man is at the psychiatrist's and suddenly opens his eyes and starts to scream it is so strange and silly that you just can laugh. WARNING: Don't watch this film!!!
