Sorry, this movie sucks

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

PLOT SPOILER REVIEWKevin is a creepy morgue attendant and outcast who is shy and stutters. He has made a video of med students appropriating some party pharmaceuticals. They invite him to drink and party with him under the guise that if he participates, he won't tell. Turns out Kevin is a bit epileptic and ends up in a coma as the kids dump him off at the hospital and run.Catherine (Arielle Kebbel) the girl Kevin had a crush on feels guilty and attempts to revive him with an experimental drug...one that stimulates the brain which happens to be the part of the brain which gives people out of body experiences. Soon people in the cliche are brutally murdered.Okay, the killer is a guy in a coma. He apparently enters people's brains, takes control and has them kill for him. It was a bit of a yawner. For some reason the film lacked intensity.F-bombs, brief sex?, brief corpse nudity, Arielle Kebbel,Sarah Boyd-Wilson bra/panties

One reason I rented this is to see Arielle Kebbel, who did a nice turn in "The Uninvited." She is the lead here and is on screen for 90 percent of the movie. She has a very full, slightly downturned mouth that is hugely expressive. big eyes, too. You see a transformation come over her in the course of the movie, changing from Ken-pitier to Ken-hater. I had to smile when she tells the cop near the end "In a heartbeat." The copy I rented was titled "Red Mist." "Freakdog," which is an important word in the movie's plot, I think is a better title.This movie is ... the only word that comes to mind is "good." It is well shot, moves at a pretty fast pace (especially at the end) and is decently acted by a cast of mostly unknowns.Considering what is happening in horror movies these days, this movie is rather remarkable for the restraint it shows. There's gore and several nasty deaths, but these shots are never gratuitous. They just show what is necessary to make the point.This belongs to the horror subgenre of rogue medical students. This is a worthy if unspectacular addition. The absolute pinnacle in this subgenre is, of course, "Re-Animator."

I just watched this movie, titled as Red Mist. I see now why it also has the name Freakdog, its what the teens in the movie called the outcast, and by the way an excellent performance by Andrew Lee Potts(Return To House On Haunted Hill) as the flicks villain. This movie featured three very hot chicks, Arielle Kebbel(The Uninvited and The Grudge 2), Sarah Carter(Skinwalkers and A Date With Darkness) and MyAnna Buring(The Descent and Doomsday) and others who all work at a medical center. In this movie, a group of popular friends target a loner and when a prank goes too far, he winds up in a coma. When one of them regrets what happened to him, she injects him with a experimental serum, that has killer side effects. Soon enough, the ones responsible for his accident begin to die one by one, but the worst part is he can be in anybody. The remaining friends work to find a way to stop him, but they find out, that you cant always trust your friends in this horror thriller. I really enjoyed this movie, i wish that it would of been out in theaters, i would of definitely gone and seen it, plus I'm a huge fan of Arielle Kebbel, her movies always rock.(John Tucker Must Die and American Pie: Band Camp). So, i definitely recommend this flick to die hard horror fans!!

A group of potential doctors are caught doing drugs by a local man with a stuttering problem. In order to cover their butts and keep their scholarships, they invite the man to join them, sending him into a coma after the drugs hit him the wrong way. When one of the potential doctors (Arielle Kebbel) tries to help him, unexpected consequences emerge.Reviews on this film have been generally negative, with some people saying it is "as bad as 'Shrooms'" (the director's other notable movie). I don't see where these people are coming from. Sure, there are some bad things about this film... for one, the story drags a bit at times, and one character more or less repeats his same speech every five minutes he shows up. We also have the familiar story, which is not unlike "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or any number of other films.But I thought the visuals were well done, the action was intense, and the casting was for the most part excellent. The ladies were well-cast beyond a doubt. MyAnna Buring as Shelby was a good move, as she's not only gorgeous but has the horror veteran status ("The Descent", "The Omen"). Putting Arielle Kebbel in the lead was brilliant. I've had my eye on her since "American Pie" Band Camp", where I noticed that despite the juvenile film, she really stood out. I expect her to break into the big time any day now.I also have to give the film credit for trying to tie in actual science to a paranormal theme. Far too many films will introduce supernatural elements with no attempt to explain them. Here, we have a psychic theme tied to a little-known part of the brain called the angular gyrus. According to Wikipedia, "experiments have demonstrated the possibility that stimulation of the angular gyrus is the cause of out-of-body experiences. Stimulation of the angular gyrus in one experiment caused a woman to perceive a phantom existence behind her. Another such experiment gave the test subject the sensation of being on the ceiling. This is attributed to a discrepancy in the actual position of the body, and the mind's perceived location of the body." So, there's at least some level of truth to what the film shows.I enjoyed this movie, and I won't lie about it. I'm not going to say it's "the film of the year" or any of those bold claims that movie reviewers make all the time, because that's just simply not going to be true. But it's well worth seeing if you have a steady intake of horror flicks. Of the films I've seen recently, it was among the better ones. And Arielle Kebbel... I mean, she just sells a film, doesn't she?
