A first-year medical student discovers that death may not be as final as she once believed when the spirit of the cadaver assigned to her in Gross Anatomy class attempts to resolve some unfinished bus... read more read more...iness in the mortal realm. When the sheet is drawn back and Alison's (Corri English) cadaver is revealed, the nervous student suddenly senses a powerful energy and collapses to the floor, unconscious. Upon relaying her strange experience to her skeptical instructor, Dr. Blackwell (Derrick O'Connor), Alison finds her strange malaise immediately written off as the "first year jitters." When Alison's friend is discovered dead in a basement corridor and the rising body count begins to appear strangely connected with her investigation into the cadaver's fate, the frightened medical student does her best to put the mystery, and the murderous spirit, to rest. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Anatomy students discover that the body they are dissecting for class turns out to have a vengful spirit which kills anyone who comes into contact with it. Not too bad at all really. It's low budget and independently made but still better than your average horror movie. It has a ... read morelittle bit of creepiness to it and some gross moments of the anatomy class in action with some quite realistic looking bodies. We've seen vengful ghost movies before so the plot isn't that surprising or fresh, but it's a good effort.

    The movie was about a couple med students who were practicing their skills on some dead bodies. One of the bodies was from Brazil, and the girl the body belonged to disturbed a bunch of spirits or something in an Aztec temple, so she became possessed and died. Then all those spir... read moreits followed her dead body to the medical lab, where it starts killing the med students and lab workers. Yeah, I don't know. The storyline was hard to follow. It made it way more complex than it needed to be.

    The movie didn't make ANY sense. One of the med students who claims to be an atheist, says she "feels a presence" when she starts practicing on the possessed body. People ask her over and over "Do you believe in spirits?" and she's always like "No". But over and over again she's like "I feel a presence! I know it's here!" and she starts acting really bizarre. Her behavior came out of nowhere actually now that I think about it. One minute she's a med student, then she does a complete 180 and turns into a ghost whisperer. Her obsession with finding out the history of her cadaver (the possessed girl's body), was very odd and really unrealistic. A doctor in training would definitely not get emotionally attached to the body they practice on. Medical students also aren't that stupid and immature. Some of the things those students did (like jumping into a tank filled with dead people in the med lab), was so uncalled for. It was so odd like why would they do that? They're supposed to be doctors not detectives.

    The characters (besides being immature and stupid) were not really well thought out people. None of them had personality. None of the characters gave me any reason to like them, except that one boy because he was so gorgeous. They were really unbelievable characters. We didn't get any background information on any of them. It was a mess. The characters developed relationships with each other so quickly. Romance was just thrown in there randomly. The writing was awful and so was the directing. The same guy wrote and directed the movie, so hopefully he'll get his shit together next time.

    Okay the starting was pretty scary. And it involves lots of blood, cutting, dead body, etc. Pretty grossgusting to be honest.

    These horrorfest movies are very hit or miss, and I have to add Unrest to the rapidly growing "miss" pile. The story could not hold my attention, so I really can't say much about that aspect of the movie. I can say that the film overall was much more gross than scary, and I'm gla... read mored that I didn't buy it.

    It's another one of those films which is alright, nothing special. In fact the budget just shoots this film into an amateurish TV movie style. The actings alright and the use of real bodies makes it pretty creepy, but we all know what to expect and the whole Aztec mythos brought ... read morein closer to the end is just a distraction.

    The scenario may not be new, but the setting certainly brings it's own character into the film. Attractive cast carries it through.

    This is a solid little low budget horror film with enough tension and gore to keep the horror movie fans entertained.

    Correction:The Aztecs were from Mexico not from Brazil.

Pablo Villaca

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena

A protagonista tem carisma e ajuda a tornar o filme suportável apesar do roteiro pedestre e da direção sem nenhuma intensidade.

Bill Gibron

Bill Gibron, DVD Verdict

(The director's) ponderous use of pauses and long, languid tracking shots lack the gravitas he hopes to gain, and a few of the narrative flourishes ring ridiculous and false. Full Review

The bottom line is you've probably not seen anything quite like Unrest before. Full Review
