Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
I'm sorry to say that this movie was illogical and not at all scary. The story line of a cadaver that is still trying to take its revenge might actually have been interesting. But it wasn't and I'm not even sure that was the story line here. There was some door slamming and things turning off by themselves typical of the paranormal genre and then some unexplained deaths that never made any sense. And then the weird sort of African tribal music or something that would pop up throughout the film....sometimes at points where nothing was really happening. There was talk of human sacrifices and possessions that really weren't explained. It was almost as if the creators were like, "ok, what are some things that are scary? Demon possession? Human sacrifices? OK, let's just throw that in here somewhere to scare things up a bit. Oh and let's make a few doors slam and some lights flicker while we are at it. And better get some actors and actresses That look pretty good with very few clothes on to distract people from the fact that this film just really sucks." Poor acting, poorly executed story line and no scares= a total yawn fest.
There is a lot to be said.This film could have been better if they had done the proper research about the Aztec empire extent... It never reached Brazil....a basic historical mistake... Inaccuracy which detracts from the film's credibility. Such information can be easily found on Google, for instance...Too much blood and not much suspense... The sound was not clear either. We watched it on Netflix.The dialog is barely audible and therefore the viewer has to increase the sound volume to such an extent that when the music plays it is almost deafening.It is barely believable that the professor in charge sees nothing untoward with the number of sudden deaths in his team until later in the plot.
Could it be that the spirit of a dead cadaver is killing off all those who have medical dealings with her body?Judging by the unfairly low rating it has on the main internet movie sites, it's very likely that the slow pace and lack of gore has counted against Unrest, which is a big shame. Jason Todd Ipson (director) draws on his real life experiences as a Boston general surgery employee to produce a film of skin itching substance. The premise is nifty and the real location shooting really adds weight to this mortality gone awry tinged horror.There's a freshness to the film that leaps out, finding a film maker not merely content to pander to the formulaic hordes to win plaudits. Having an impossibly gorgeous female lead (Corri English) as the main protagonist would lend one to think that is not the case, but there's a rawness to English's acting that suits the character perfectly. There's a splendid realism factor to the picture, the blend of the real and the smart effects work nestling nicely together on the mortuary slab.Atmosphere is a word that has always been key in non blood letting horror parlance, and Unrest has it in abundance. It would have been easy for Ipson to rely on boo-jump shocks, but he doesn't, he uses his knowledge of setting and subject matter to craft a tight and tense thriller that manages to gnaw away at the senses, even ensuring that the cadaver, as dead as she apparently is, is a full and rich character holding court as the body count starts to tot up.The musical score (Michael Cohen) is a bit intrusive at times, a romantic sub-plot a little pointless, while the finale doesn't quite hit great heights given what has led up to it, but this is a smart dark mood accentuated piece and it is well worth checking out. 7.5/10
As a horror fan, i watch over 1500-2000 movies, and got a one big picture of good suspenseful horror movies should be all about.Im not in slashers or gore fest like movies, but story driven kind is my taste....And to finish the title of this review: ...what the man who read scenario had in his head that he wanted to make this a movie.Lead roll? Horrible...The movie is just complete waste of your time if you are horror fan.I've seen many real B horror movies made with 4-5 figures budget, that put this movie to the ground.Just bad and complete waste of time.Floating in tank full of that body's is scene that puts this to the top, or should I say to complete garbage.Tank is about 1,5 m in depth. The guy just floats around 40cm from the top, and the girl just has to take of the shirt and go in to fetch him, like she has 5cm long arms, and cant reach him from the top....Stupid...stupid...stupid...
