![]() This movie was a lot better than what I was expecting from the trailer. Like I said, watch at your own discretion and only if you're bored. Setting up a possible sequel but I wouldn't bet on it. Then the obligatory final scene shows a hilltop with dozens of the "bogey-men" shape-shifting creatures spawning on it. ![]() ![]() She says aloud, "I wonder if that's the only one?". As predictable as any bland horror movie, the shape-shifting creature (done fairly well) then proceeds to slaughter everyone until the last remaining girl somehow kills it with a shovel. Now that they all had special serum in their bodies the monster could see them as before it could only see young kids. Previously this creature had killed two children that belonged to two different people in the group. The researchers discover a shape-shifting "bogey-man" that eats people. That, of course, gives them more than they wished more. ![]() To achieve this goal they all inject themselves with a crude hallucinogenic serum. A group of scientists gets together and tries to unravel what happens in the afterlife. We've seen all the storyline line before. This is definitely an average foreign, horror film with English speaking actors. My advice, as with every movie, ignore all the reviews (including mine), watch for yourself, and form your own opinion. So while, yes, like 95% of horror films in existence, there were some clichés, tropes, and a stretch in believability from time to time, overall Discarnate was a pretty decent horror flick. The cast, many of which are familiar faces to the horror genre, including Bex Taylor-Klaus, Josh Stewart, Thomas Kretschmann, and Chris Coy, all did a fine job with their roles. ![]() Obviously they didn't have a huge Hollywood budget, but it's far from B/low budget, mostly what you'd expect from an independent film. Personally I thought the creature was very cool and creepy, however minimalist the overall look was, it was still effective. If you actually pay attention, as another reviewer pointed out, the characters explain everything that they've set out to do as well as everything happening. Discarnate was not at all difficult to follow or confusing in any way. I don't usually write reviews unless I feel very strongly about the movie or I feel the other reviews are mostly nonsense from people who either didn't actually watch, pay attention, or understand the movie. ![]()
