Nonureva Really Surprised!

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

cintiasean There is a lot to be said.This film could have been better if they had done the proper research about the Aztec empire extent... It never reached Brazil....a basic historical mistake... Inaccuracy which detracts from the film's credibility. Such information can be easily found on Google, for instance...Too much blood and not much suspense... The sound was not clear either. We watched it on Netflix.The dialog is barely audible and therefore the viewer has to increase the sound volume to such an extent that when the music plays it is almost deafening.It is barely believable that the professor in charge sees nothing untoward with the number of sudden deaths in his team until later in the plot.

suite92 Alison, Brian, Carlos, and Rick meet in medical school in their Gross Anatomy class. They get to know each other while dissecting 'Norma' whom we get to see the first time in the opening sequence. After the first shot at dissection, we meet Jennifer, Rick's fiancée.Alison is an agnostic. Carlos is into spirits and respect. During the film, the question 'Is Norma dead?' gets discussed in philosophical terms. Jennifer wanted to see the dissected body, and is shocked and repulsed when the internal organs felt warm to the touch. Rick tells her to cool off in the hall while he re-drapes the body. When he comes out, Jennifer is dead in a pool of blood.Come Monday, Rick has dropped out, so Alison, Brian, and Carlos continue on Norma in Gross Anatomy. Rick has pretty well zoned out as Alison finds when she goes to visit him.One of Dr. Blackwell's associates, Ivan, was checking out the cadaver when Alison interrupts him. They have a non-constructive chat. When Brian and Alison investigate a few things, they find Ivan's body in the cadaver tank. Both Ivan and Jennifer touched the corpse and were repelled by it.After Brian and Alison are intimate, Alison discovers one of the morgue staff in the shower, dead, in a pool of blood. This fellow also touched the cadaver. Alison and the hospital's staff shrink go to Dr. Blackwell and ask for more information. Norma turns out to be Dr. Alita Covas, an American found dead in Brazil. She was on death row at the time for killing johns while being a prostitute. Oi, in the opening sequence, there were references to Aztec goings on. Brazil is mighty far south and east of Aztec country.Meanwhile, Rick is descending into madness. Alison visits him and he attacks her.Carlos dies in the library while investigating Aztecs. Alison and Brian get a bloody drawing on their door. Rick commits suicide. Alison and Brian discover more about Dr Covas' archaeological finds; this may prove to be the key.Will Brian and Alison survive this encounter? ------Scores------Cinematography: 8/10 A bit more grainy and soft-focus than I expected, but good on the whole.Sound: 10/10 Good for atmosphere and spookiness.Acting: 8/10 Better than I expected.Screenplay: 7/10 The Aztec vs. Brazil mix up was the film's major goof. On the other hand, the build up of tensions while dealing with real events was rather good.

Nitzan Havoc Unrest is the sort of film that upon watching, one who wishes to write an objective review has to sit and think back of good things to say. That for itself is already a disadvantage... Being a Horror freak I've seen many many Horror films. Some were good and memorable on account of originality, touches of art or profound acting, and others were simply bone-chilling and frightening. Unrest is none of these.The story, while presented in a rather original way, is not original at all. We've already seen these kinds of ghost stories, character dynamics and turn of events. And yet, I did find myself watching it till the end and not suffering too badly. The acting is nice, and the story (while unoriginal) is interesting. A nice delicate combination of Ghost Stories/Supernatural/Teen horror.One of the more intriguing facts about this film is that it doesn't actually show the ghost. All of the ghosts' actions are implicated with hints and the script, but the "culprit" isn't visual. Also, what I found to be the best feature of this film, its soundtrack - really worth listening to it!All in all, while having its moments, Unrest is probably not one of the better Horror films nor one to remember. If you come across it, watch it, but don't have too high expectations.

matthewhemmings Let me start off by saying it's not a bad film. I didn't hate it, I just didn't fall in love with it. But I'm glad I watched it.The cinematography is very good, the whole piece is generally rather beautiful. But can beauty make up for a lack of plot or substance? The first half is very good. Scrap that the first two thirds are very good. The build up, the general air of unease created, spot on. Then we have this particular films 'reveal' and it all quickly goes downhill from there.Don't get me wrong, if you are a horror fan I would recommend this over any Saw (bar the original) any day, if only for the originality of the setting. I just don't see it going mainstream.Oh, one more thing; you will never see the phrase 'dipping your toe in the water' in the same light again!
