- N8November 8, 2024I thought this worked on multiple levels. It’s an emotionally affecting human drama, an interesting procedural thriller, and a really tense horror film. They all come together really well to make you feel a wider range of emotions, sometimes simultaneously. Jessica Chastain and Eddie Redmayne are predictably great in it. Chastain is really empathetic and believable, while Redmayne is appropriately creepy. He is genuinely likable for the first half, and it’s really unsettling how that affability turns to menace while the performance itself hardly ever changes. Even by the end, I still almost felt bad for him. And the story itself is both interesting and horrifying. I was pretty interested in the procedural aspect of things, and while true stories like this can often seem exaggerated, this one feels really authentic, and I can totally believe this type of tragedy and corruption would happen. It’s tough to sit through, but if you’re up for it, I think it delivers a very sad, scary, effective story.
- Blake WoodNovember 2, 2024I felt like this movie was as bad as Twillight but set in a hospital instead of a high-school. The opening scene lost me immediately because of the bad code...my first thought was "bad nurse, bad code." It also made the movie predictable and thus boring. The twilight colour scheme also dulled any excitement the movie could have had, but didn't make it feel at all scary, disturbing or creepy...which is what I think the goal was.
