Lifechanger

Lifechanger is one of those movies I randomly stumbled upon late one night on Netflix and it reminded me of my younger days when I'd randomly come upon some unknown film on TV or at the video store and it would pleasantly surprise me.

If you're looking for blood and guts or jump out of your seat moments, Lifechanger might not be your cup of tea. What Lifechanger offers is a thoughtful, moody meditation on life and love that I wasn't expecting. What would you do if, to survive, you had to change bodies every few days or so even if it meant killing that person?

Lifechanger reminds me more of a George Romero or David Cronenberg movie where you're never scared in the traditional sense, but there's that creeping sense of dread and sadness throughout.

The acting is excellent throughout and the film is beautifully shot, especially considering its budget. I say definitely check this one out.

Lifechanger is a very unique horror movie which had me gripped throughout. It's very much a character study of one man/woman who can take the forms of other people but has to kill them to do so. Sprinkled with a love story and some pretty gruesome body horror for good measure, Lifechanger is a very special kind of horror movie that I'm sure won't be for everyone but I loved it.

The acting is superb and I really got into the character's heads which really helped, expecially because the lead is quite a dark character.

Great Cinematogtaphy and sound design add to its eerie atmosphere and tone. I would strongly reccomend you give this one a shot.

MOVIE: 3/5 PICTURE: 5/5 SOUND: 4/5 CAST: 5/5

Not as bad as many say...If you look at it from the philosophical point of view,the film asks ,in it's own way.questions,that makes life miserable for thinking people:Who am I?Why I'm here?Is it really me or a mask?What is love,if we are the ones always to destroy it anyway???Not a horror,more of a essay about meaning of life...Look at it that way and it is pretty clever film...I liked it.

I see a lot of negative reviews about this film, however I found it decent enough.

The premise was good, the execution not brilliant, but the film leads you down the path of appreciating what you have and to not take anything for granted. Until you realise this film is supposed to hit you emotionally and isn't packed with action, you wont fully appreciate it.

If you just expect a horror movie, you'll be disappointed. This is an example of how you can tell a beautiful story (drama / romance) supported by horror elements. 'Lifechanger' does it very well. I watched knowing nothing about it and I was pleasantly surprised. I don't quite like clear-cut films; I prefer when genres intertwine to produce something unique. Indie films don't have to follow the rules as much as bigger productions, so they sometimes give us little gems like this one. However I do understand that horror buffs might feel misled about the trailer; hence why I never watch them!
