Antidote

Saw this yesterday. I enjoyed it. Very disturbing and claustrophobic, especially if you like medical and body horror. Made the most of its limited budget. Unfortunately for me, I heard someone compare it to another film, so I knew what was going on from the start. But if you just go in blind, I think it's a fun way to spend 90 minutes. There are some really embarrassing green-screen effects at the very end, but it didn't ruin it for me. I was more like, awwwww that's cute that they tried that. I thought the lead actress did a fine job, the main doctor was good, and I enjoyed all the weird-o patients. I think the whole production team was sincere in their desire to make an enjoyable film, and I think they were successful. It's certainly not the best thing ever, but it shouldn't make you angry either. If the trailer intrigues you, give it a shot!

Low budget - yes, but the acting was great and the gore was decent, so I got what I wanted from this movie.

Better than I thought it would be.

The movie in general looks cheap but not to the point that it looks amateur. If you prefer movies that looks really expensive then it's not perfect for you. The story is straightforward. You'll already know the goal of the protagonist in the very beginning but there's just a bit surprise in the end. There are minor flaws that I've noticed and the acting wasn't really perfect but still forgivable because it has interesting story line.

We're not talking the best movie here. It's been done many times before and it's been done better. Much better. But, it does have some redeeming qualities and I actually liked it. Well, kind of. If you like low budget B-Movies, give it a watch. It won't make your day. But it's an OK'ish time killer.

While it won't win any major awards, you won't regret curling up with this one on Halloween.

If the story and climax seem somewhat predictable, don't worry. It's the dressing and details that differentiate one attempt from another. This one moves. The plot keeps just enough mystery to make the final outcome uncertain and the players carry their characters well enough to maintain empathy and interest. If you are intrigued by Dante's perspectives of hell, then you'll especially enjoy this cinematic rendition of something similar.

So, what message does this vision deliver? Simple. Be good to one another because you'll never know how, when, where or why!
