Very disappointing...

Strong and Moving!

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A great quirky horror/ dark comedy that keeps you guessing, "Is it real or his imagination?"The creators of this movie have nothing to be ashamed of. What I liked least was the DVD cover design. They didn't put much into that. If you like the Twilight Zone and Coen brothers and B horror movies, then get it.

To me, it was a very thought-provoking movie that really played on my fears(about potential evils that can happen in a hospital or even life).I read through some of the posts in the IMDb discussion board for this movie. Some seem to have analyzed the movie well & others overdid it. Well, I can't say I know for sure what the writer of the movie intended to convey but I'm happy to be left with my own interpretation i.e. the character George(performed very well by Tom Cavanagh) had lot of fears which he imagined to be real(the shelves full of files, dark corridor, the black nurse etc) and finally he found a way to tackle his fears once & for all. Other mentionable performances were Katherine Cunningham-Eves as the stunning nurse or Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs who was wonderfully sadistic as the black nurse tormenting George. This movie kinda drags or slows in some places otherwise it could have been a thrilling drama. Verdict: A very good portrayal about some of our deep life fears. Disturbing.

This movie is very watchable,yet provocative and also slightly irritating-all at the same time. The latter because the way it is presented is somewhat obscure and must be highly confusing for some people. Rather like a painter on canvas the work which is created may be obvious to the artist, but others can see it differently or simply not see the same as the artist or indeed not see it at all. Nevertheless I found this film generally good and interesting.A middle age successful man is shortly to go into hospital for a routine procedure but is troubled by a recurring dream. After he awakes from the procedure he is subjected to a series of horrendous events in the hospital. Are these events really happening or as I interpret it: is he simply going through a nightmare and experiencing his fears etc?All the performers are excellent, the design of the film is first rate and the music is often brilliant. I myself consider this movie more like a black comedy/horror and overall I conclude it deserves: 7/10.

I have to give kudos to director Tony Krantz and the company Raw Feed for being able to create such an interesting work at under $2,000,000.The atmosphere is eerie, creepy, dreamy... so much so, that several people have compared Sublime to Jacob's Ladder. For me, it never came close to hitting such high marks. Other good comparisons might be Carnival of Souls, Stay and the much reviled Soul Survivor. Much like the latter, Sublime doesn't pull us seamlessly in its different universes and timelines and that does hurt the movie slightly.The actor, for such a cheap B-movie, are more than adequate. Thomas Cavanagh does really well with a challenging, multi-dimensional lead role as George Grieves. We're not talking about Oscar performance here, at all. But considering the limitations that must have taken place on this shoot, he does a great job.The most noticeable performance for me was certainly that of David Clayton Rogers, who has an unfortunately small role as George's brother, Billy. Every scene with Clayton Rogers in it is considerably more interesting than the rest, as he is a natural, very comfortable in his role and creates chemistry with whoever he trades lines with. Director Krantz would have done well to give more screen time to this actor.Another special mention must go to Katherine Cunningham-Eves as the beautiful nurse, Zoe. You'd think she would be hired just for her looks but Cunningham-Eves is actually pretty good. In fact, much better than the weak links, which to me were the wife and the unidimensional and uninspired performance of Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs as the nightmarish Mandingo.The movie has a basic plot but is spiced by interesting concepts and a good music score to support decent camera work.Recommended for a rental if you like some of the movies referenced above.
