Unrest

Last years Horrorfest, the 8 Movies To Die For, just keeps on giving. Not only are they doing again this November, but the movies from last year are now on DVD, so, for those of you who, like me, missed some of them in the theatre, here's your chance. This time, the movie is Unrest.



The story here is about a group of medical students who are in their first year of gross anatomy, the class where they get to dissect a human body. But, when one of the group starts getting strange feelings about their cadaver, things take a strange turn. It seems that the soul doesn't depart the body until the body is laid to a proper rest, and when a body is turned over to science, the soul stays with that body. And, while most of the time that's not a problem, this particular body's spirit is very angry, and people begin to die in most grisly ways!

Unrest is a very different horror movie, drawing it's gore from things that are done every day in medical labs, the terror really comes from what is essentially a haunting of the hospital by the spirits who can't rest in peace! This is a great indie movie and it really deserves more attention than it got...so here's a little attention now!

I'm giving Unrest four out of four cigars,

for being a tried and true genre (a ghost story) told in a unique and original way. So, until next time, when I'll tell you about the ghost that's been haunting me, not a real ghost, but that damned Casper...he HAUNTS me!!! Until then, remember that the best movies are bad movies.
