Avis à la une
This movie starts off messy. The story, acting, characters, felt so poorly created as a horror fan I couldn't see its value. But after we get comfortable in the morgue and the chase is on it picks up. By the end it had my full attention. I really thought they messed up with the lead actress initially but now I get why she was hired. Young lady can scream and showed excellent range in the second half. Displayed great rage. Not just the damsel I thought it was setting her up for. I could see her growing as a scream queen. Hope to see her in more films. Part of why I wanted to stick things out was Jerry O' Connell and he's a great villian in this. I've seen him pop up in a few horrors before and he always entertains. I grew up with his films so I may have a bias admittedly. By the end they do an excellent job at creating a monster. I could see a sequel happen with his character. I'm not a big gore fan, it's not too excessive but body parts are involed so don't be too caught off guard. There's not a lot of bad language. Because I'd read the negative reviews I thought it was worth sharing a positive experience. First half I was going to give it a 4, enjoyed the second so much it earned two points.
The movie was rather well done, if slow at times.
Obviously, much of what happens in this movie wouldn't be possible in real life, but that's the point of movies is it not?
The acting is good, and there is more than enough suspense to keep you watching. At times it was slow, but it is still worth watching I think.
If you like movies like "Hush" or "Dont Breathe" then this is along the lines of something you may enjoy.
I will say that it is rather predictable, but if you're alright with that sort of thing don't pass up 'Play Dead'.
Quick Summary: Predictable and slow at times, but still worth watching.

OK I had pretty much guessed the story before hand, but watched anyway to see if it would be a bad acting or a surprise, I have to say on first starting off the w young lads actually had me engaged in their car with topics and play, the acting was solid from the young guy and mortician, unfortunately half way through it does start to feel flat cheesy and nit the best aesthetic settings. They do try to end it on a high note kinda when stories over give it that apocalyptic feel dusk till dawn. The end special effect in a certain scene was laughable but I went with it because it picked bk up. Our protagonist and antagonist carried this thin film with their acting abilities. Without them it would've been a failure. But will probably be good for first time horror watchers.
The movie has so many parts of the story that make no sense and aren't plausible in any way. Having said that if you can get past that and suspend reality for an hour and a half it's entertaining. Bailee Madison does a great job as always and it keeps you on the edge of your seat. Jerry O'Connell plays the creepy Coroner really well. The twist at the end involving the police officer really isn't a twist since you can see it coming a mile away. Overall, if you have an evening to spend and are looking for a movie to watch, you can do much worse than this if you're willing to accept the unbelievable story.
I know you usually have to suspend some disbelief in horror and sci fi movies, but there are limits, and this movie strains credibility to the limit right out of the gate.
The main character's loser brother is involved in a robbery that goes wrong, and his partner is shot and killed. He realizes there's evidence on the guy's phone that will incriminate him (these are not the brightest bulbs). His sister, who is a medical student, comes up with a "brilliant" idea: she will take propofol to fake her own death, she'll get taken to the morgue, and steal the phone.
Of course, propofol won't do that. There's a good chance it will really kill you, like it did to Michael Jackson, but otherwise you'll be quite obviously alive. Even if they thought she was dead, she was somehow confident that she would be put somewhere where she could easily find the other guy and his phone, rather than, you know, in a drawer that she couldn't get out of. Like they say in the commercial, "When you're in a horror movie, you make bad choices. It's what you do."
Without giving away any spoilers, the "twist" is pretty obvious - and completely unbelievable.
On the other hand, the acting is pretty good, and if you check your brain at the door, it's reasonably entertaining to watch.

Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesBallie Madison spends the majority of the movie in bare feet.In order to prepare for the role,she took a page from Milia Jovovich book when she faced a similar situation in the film Million Dollar Hotel:she spend several weeks of her own time going barefoot everywhere.
- GaffesThe Coroner is much too rough with the organs he takes from Ross's body. If he intends to sell them, even on the black market, he wouldn't just reach into the body cavity and wrench and slice them out. Organ recovery is a very delicate process, and the slightest mistake can render the organ completely unusable.
