Unrest (2006)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Unrest (2006) I am not sure what to make of this movie at all, I didn't hate or anything but I don't anything really creepy or scary happened in this movie.People were being killed off, one by one off screen, so we don't get to see the deaths on screen as they are all off screen. We not sure why or how they all died, they never show a ghost or dead body walking, It never really made cleverer , if the body was alive or not,How did it attack people, if the body was not dead? Wacthed to the end thinking, we get to see dead body move but we didn't get that. I thought acting was good 4 out of 10 the movie feel empty

This is one of those movies I knew I'd seen before, then forgotten what happened.On this rewatch, I realized why. The movie is mostly slow-paced, and borderline boring. Overall, the concept and atmosphere were OK. The main actors work with their material, but for the most part, I didn't feel connected to the characters or the story. The reactions, in many scenes, were tame for the ongoing action. There is plenty of humor and realistic interaction to help identify with the characters, but overall, I felt it was too low-key.The basic story: 4 medical students are given a cadaver to dissect and work with. The one girl of the group senses something wrong with the body. She's left to be the worrywart as her partners work around her heebie-jeebies. People start disrespecting the body & wind up dead. A simple off-color remark, poking & prodding, or mysterious slight - they die.The story itself is muddled. I will have forgotten the ending again in short time, as it was anticlimactic. There was real potential to make this a mood-driven creepy horror movie, but it didn't quite get there.

"Unrest" is an excellent example of how important it is to cast the central character. Cast Laura Dern in the role, and you've got a practically unwatchable turd of a movie, a turkey no-one except perhaps Bruce Dern and a couple of movie nerds (who'd watch anything, with anyone cast in the starring role) would ever want to watch. On the other side of the beauty/beast spectrum, you can cast Corri English - a very cute, spunky, sexy, well-endowed blond - and you've got a sort of "cover" for the movie's several logic problems. Corri chews up the scenery, and I could frankly watch her as she watches grass grow, let alone as she deals with a runaway corpse in a medical study hall. All the better.There is no sense in the way corpses just pile up, while life at the medical center goes blissfully on. The old bearded guy (who could have just as easily been cast as a delirious, sidewalk-dosing wino) gets neither too upset nor suspicious that people are dying left and right at his work-place. Police appear - or they don't - sort of at a whim. When a murder is committed you simply don't know whether that particular killing will tickle their fancy enough to make a rapid appearance at the hospital, or not.But, as I said, Corri English.

First of all I have to get out of the way my serious objection to the way in which apparently everybody involved in this film doesn't have any idea of where Aztecs lived. Aztecs lived in Mexico primarily around what is now Mexico City. Mayans lived in Mexico and countries farther south in the area of the Yucatan Peninsula, Incans live in the Andes and yes that would have at least been the right continent (South America), but Aztecs in Brazil???? Were they stupid Aztecs who got lost? Can you say that everybody involved with this film is either stupid or criminally insensitive to those cultures? And people wonder why we in the United States are considered dumb by many others around the world? If you can get past that, it is a decent low budget movie. The actors tried hard and the female lead was perky and you hoped she wouldn't get dead in a horrible way as most of the guys did. I thought that her boyfriend portrayed a Christian male as something more than a right wing nutter and that was a bit refreshing.I think that basic anatomy and physiology is necessary to medicine and therefore I think some of the comments about how they shouldn't have been cutting up dead people was a bit.....well medieval. I know I want a doctor that I go to see to have a thorough grounding in those subjects. And the swimming around in tanks of dead people was gross as well as improbable without serious respiratory and protective gear, but hey these people didn't even know where Aztecs lived so why should they get that correct? Note to the film-makers - check your facts next time and go for some type of intelligence or reality. I wouldn't pay for this but if it comes on TV latenight, it is a decent cheesy way to pass a little time.
