Sublime

The majority of horror films that come out now fall into the classification of shock horror, this includes the sub-genre of slasher films. There are not a lot of the psychological thriller/horror films that are made now a days, even the Japanese have turned toward the shock genre with their film making. I wasn't expecting to much from this film, I mean let's be real how many good psychological thrillers have there been in recent years. This one grabs you by the nose from the beginning and leads you through a maze of extremely high intensity situations and doesn't let go until it feels you've gone far enough. Done in a very Hitchcockian way you are repeatedly left on the edge of you seat with questions, but as the story evolves you seem to be as lost and helpless as the main character.
The day after George Grieves turns 40 he goes to the hospital for a routine colonoscopy, but when he awakes he discovers that he has been given major surgery and from there the horror is just beginning. This is an extremely eerie movie to watch and with all of the things that you hear on the news about mistakes that happen at a hospital makes this film even more nerve racking. The plot twists are very well placed throughout the story and keeps the audience guessing about what's going on right up to the very end. Tony Krantz does an expert job at directing this film, and with Thomas Cavanagh as George the feelings of loss and helplessness come right off the screen to torment the audience.
This film goes far beyond just being a thriller about mistakes at a hospital but it creeps you out knowing that there isn't anything that the main character can do to save himself. I had no intension of watching this film until I just happened to see the trailer for it and thought I'd give it a chance. Now after watching it I can truly say that this is one of the better psychological thrillers out there and if that's the kind of movie you like to watch you've got to check this one out. This movie will drive you over the edge and then stand there and wave to you as you plummet over.
