Wonderful character development!

Nice effects though.

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I'm sorry to say that this movie was illogical and not at all scary. The story line of a cadaver that is still trying to take its revenge might actually have been interesting. But it wasn't and I'm not even sure that was the story line here. There was some door slamming and things turning off by themselves typical of the paranormal genre and then some unexplained deaths that never made any sense. And then the weird sort of African tribal music or something that would pop up throughout the film....sometimes at points where nothing was really happening. There was talk of human sacrifices and possessions that really weren't explained. It was almost as if the creators were like, "ok, what are some things that are scary? Demon possession? Human sacrifices? OK, let's just throw that in here somewhere to scare things up a bit. Oh and let's make a few doors slam and some lights flicker while we are at it. And better get some actors and actresses That look pretty good with very few clothes on to distract people from the fact that this film just really sucks." Poor acting, poorly executed story line and no scares= a total yawn fest.

Could it be that the spirit of a dead cadaver is killing off all those who have medical dealings with her body?Judging by the unfairly low rating it has on the main internet movie sites, it's very likely that the slow pace and lack of gore has counted against Unrest, which is a big shame. Jason Todd Ipson (director) draws on his real life experiences as a Boston general surgery employee to produce a film of skin itching substance. The premise is nifty and the real location shooting really adds weight to this mortality gone awry tinged horror.There's a freshness to the film that leaps out, finding a film maker not merely content to pander to the formulaic hordes to win plaudits. Having an impossibly gorgeous female lead (Corri English) as the main protagonist would lend one to think that is not the case, but there's a rawness to English's acting that suits the character perfectly. There's a splendid realism factor to the picture, the blend of the real and the smart effects work nestling nicely together on the mortuary slab.Atmosphere is a word that has always been key in non blood letting horror parlance, and Unrest has it in abundance. It would have been easy for Ipson to rely on boo-jump shocks, but he doesn't, he uses his knowledge of setting and subject matter to craft a tight and tense thriller that manages to gnaw away at the senses, even ensuring that the cadaver, as dead as she apparently is, is a full and rich character holding court as the body count starts to tot up.The musical score (Michael Cohen) is a bit intrusive at times, a romantic sub-plot a little pointless, while the finale doesn't quite hit great heights given what has led up to it, but this is a smart dark mood accentuated piece and it is well worth checking out. 7.5/10

8 Movies to die for. Sadly I have seen several movies from them and just don't understand the hype. I have seen better on late night TV.Medical students are learning anatomy and doing an autopsy. They have gotten the wrong corpse, she has a vendetta and doesn't care who she gets revenge on.One of the students decides to investigate and researches the back story of the corpse. It's like an episode of Scooby Doo but with a cadaver.Basically, it's not a very good movie and if I had paid to see it in a theater instead of at home, I would have been angry I wasted money to see this.

We've seen it a million times. In horror films of this type, it's by the numbers: The main character has a vision, premonition or dream about someone that died, usually right after moving into a dark, creepy house (in this case, after starting an anatomy class in a dark, creepy hospital morgue). Then people start dying until the same main character figures out what the dead person's spirit wants, as if there's nothing better to do in the afterlife besides play practical jokes on the living.This movie has some really chilling parts, like in the beginning where we get treated to an intense close-up for about a minute of a woman obviously possessed. This same woman eventually turns up dead in the anatomy class where our star med student Alison starts feeling something isn't quite right about this cadaver. Corri English does a great job here as Alison and along with her love interest and fellow anatomy classmate, Brian (Scot Davis), they pretty much carry the entire movie.This movie had potential but was ultimately tripped up by the worn out plot and some of the circumstances around the deaths were over the top while others just showed up in scenes dead with no real suspense.
