3.0 out of 5 stars Slow, April 19, 2007

This review is from: Unrest - After Dark Horror Fest (DVD)

This is the 5th After Dark movie I have seen so far and much like the others I think this would be a pretty good hour long story for Masters of Horror, but to stretch this one into an hour and a half movie just makes it boring. The opening scene is pretty good and I had high hopes for this one. The story is disjointed at times and just not that interesting. The acting is middling and there are not really any scares. It is interesting that they used real cadavers and I guess if you get grossed out by medical stuff, then this might be a little upsetting, but overall it was a weak film. If you don't have a good horror story to tell then you better throw buckets and blood and have lots of nudity. This doesn't have the story, the blood or the nudity.

3.0 out of 5 stars Un-intentionally boring!, May 2, 2008

This review is from: Unrest - After Dark Horror Fest (DVD)

This was the first After Dark Horror Fest movie that I saw, and I must say that I was a disappointed after watching it.

Synopsis: The story is about a group of medical students who join "Gross Anatomy", one of them being Alison. She teams up with a group of three other students, Brian, Carlos and Rick. Their first assignment is to examine a cadaver of a young woman. However, Alison starts experiencing strange things from the moment she starts to cut upon the body. Little does she know that, whoever is in contact with the cadaver, die of mysterious circumstances.

Positive aspects:
1. I must admit, I found the initial plot of the story somewhat intriguing. It had a good potential to become something really suspenseful and thought provoking.

2. The actors also did a good job playing their roles. They can only do so much with the material they are given.

3. The movie focused more on the storyline rather than the gory details. While this wasn't such a wise move, it was good to see a movie rely more on the psychological aspect than the queasy details.

Negative aspects: Where do I begin? There were SO many plot holes in this movie, medical and otherwise, that made me lost interest in this movie. I divided them into 2 categories, because there are so many unexplained and unbelievable things that just don't make sense.

*NOTE: This Section contains spoilers so if you have not seen the movie, please don't read any further, unless you want to know how the movie ends*


Medical issues -

1. I am not a medical student, but its common sense that just a whiff of formaldehyde is dangerous, and if you do research on it, you will find out that a few drops in your eyes can make you permanently blind. Large dosage of it could put you in a coma, or worse, death. So I found it ridiculous that in the end, Alison was able to get her boyfriend out of the tank, open the glass top, throw her boyfriend out, and go back in to get the body, without anything happening to her.

2. Also, bodies are generally drained of blood before they are used for autopsies. So I don't understand how such large trails of blood came out of the bag when Alison was dragging it in the end. Even if you don't know anything about this medical aspect, its kind of silly that you don't see any blood coming out of the body throughout the movie when they initially examine it, and all of a sudden, it is coming in the end when Alison is dragging it.

I'm sure people practicing in this area can find out many other issues, but since I don't know much about it, this is what I was able to figure out from just watching it once.


Non-Medical -

1. Since when did the Aztecs come from Brazil?!? They lived in Mexico. The writers of this movie obviously did not do their research. This is probably the most ridiculous point that was repeatedly mentioned.

2. Okay, historical and medical reasons aside. Let's get to the film itself. I agree with building the suspense, but this movie was just building it the whole time without giving any explanations. For around 20 minutes of the whole movie, I think I only saw Alison walking in the corridors with the lights switching on and off and some Aztec chanting in the background. In the beginning this seemed spooky, but later it was just confusing. I don't think the director had any material for one and a half hours, so he had to put these unnecessary scenes to stretch it.

3. Furthermore, I thought the professor was already dead when Alison saw him in the examining room with a chainsaw in his hand. Now we don't see what happened to him, but in the end, he seems fine again. This did not make sense, because if the spirits spared his life, it should have spared the others as well. I mean, Carlos was just doing research in the library and he dies, whereas the professor disrespects the body by putting it in the tank again, and he only loses a leg? What's going on??

I think that if the storyline was a little more believable, this would have been a very interesting movie. It wasn't totally bad, but it wasn't that good either. All in all, I would say that you can rent this movie once, just out of curiosity, but unless you are a fan of the whole After Dark Horror Fest series, you can skip this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wait till it is in the 5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart, January 10, 2008

This review is from: Unrest - After Dark Horror Fest (DVD)

I love horror movies and saw the 8 film collection at the store which I couldn't wait to purchase. First one I saw was Gravedancer - not bad, good plot and entertaining worth the $7.50. Next was Dark Ride - looks like a remake can't remember the movie though. 4 college students go into a horror house that has a serial killer. Had potential but if you are a fan of Saw, the Hills have Eyes, Jeepers Creepers, Tales of the Crypt and your are looking for that same thrill, then these movies aren't for you. Some have extremely poor acting and at times laughable. However, if you have seen almost every horror movie possible and have time to spare then wait till they are in the $5 dollar bin at Wal-Mart and buy them. As for Unrest - save your money on this one. It was all about a female medical student and a dead cadaver that never raises, not scary at all. The preview made you believe the cadaver raises and kills, but not once did I see the murder victims get hacked/murdered - the best part of a horror movie. this one was a true B movie. If you want to see a dead body raise watch - The Grudge.
