This is How Movies Should Be Made

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

What did I just witness? Aside from 1 hour and 42 minutes of pure, unquestionable boredom? Well, nothing interesting to say the least. "Exquisite Corpse" was anything but interesting, and it dragged itself at an unfathomably slow pace.The synopsis of "Exquisite Corpse" states 'chilling modern-day Frankenstein'. Right! There was absolutely nothing even remotely Frankenstein-like about this story. A guy bringing a dead mouse and a dead girlfriend back to life, that doesn't even match the grotesque thing that is Frankenstein, as it was life given to a creature created from several different individuals.I was sorely disappointed with "Exquisite Corpse" and I must admit that I actually dozed off a couple of times throughout the course of this abysmal movie. And I also ended up with my focus on my mobile phone instead of on the movie.The story in "Exquisite Corpse" is about a young neuroscientist whose girlfriend accidentally drowns, and he breaks all codes of conduct and morale when he brings her back from the eternal sleep that is death. But in order to save her life, he must take the lives of others.Right, well it had potential, I will say that much. But branding it as a modern day Frankenstein, was just taking it too far. And while the storyline did have potential, it was just never utilized, as director Scott David Russell opted to let the movie scurry about at a snail-like pace.The acting in the movie was quite alright, taking into consideration that the acting talents here had next to nothing to work with in terms of storyline, script or anything else worthwhile for a successful horror movie.If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one. I suffered through it, more of less given my lack of focus on the unfathomably boring events on the screen, so you don't have to."Exquisite Corpse" scores a rating of two out of ten stars from me, and I do believe that I am being generous here.

I'm not really sure why this has such a high rating, but I'm assuming it's down to the lack of viewers. The idea of this film is bizarre, at best. The film as a whole is under-developed and, because there wasn't really much time devoted to allowing the audience to begin to know the characters, there's very little emotional attachment. Given how easily the protagonist is swayed to kill, it seems almost as though he was waiting for an excuse. He'd been dating his girlfriend for less than a day when she died and yet he was so utterly destroyed by it that he turned to murdering other people to revive her. This theory he has developed to bring sentient beings back from the dead is never really fully explained, the only thing the audience is given is some garbled scientific nonsense, despite the fact that it is the basis of the entire film and deserves a much more thorough explanation. The ending was laughable and a little pointless. Overall, it seems that the film is simply an indirect stab at the lack of morality behind research into cloning and other 'Frankenstein-esque' scientific experimentation.
