This lifeless thriller is an easy miss.
Movies are the product of multiple elements working in unison, and in the very best of them, everything is firing on all cylinders. Usually, if one or two aspects aren't so great, quality in other places can rescue the viewing experience.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Disquiet opens with some blunt voiceover from Sam , a married workaholic who laments neglecting his wife as he is rushed to the emergency room after being hit by a drunk driver. He wakes up in a hospital bed disoriented — the building seems eerily abandoned, with no one coming to answer his call button. The only other person he can see is an old man in another bed, who, judging by his long, wispy hair and disconcerting finger nails, has been comatose for some time.
Indeed, thin characterization across the board can make some of its themes quite offensive if dwelled on for too long. The first person Sam encounters who doesn't try to attack him is Monica , who went under for breast enhancement surgery and woke to discover three women, dolled-up, bloodied, and sporting plastic surgery scars, ready to hold her down and carve her up.
With all this working against them, the performances could hardly come out unscathed, and no one leaves a particularly positive impression, save perhaps Chalk's Virgil, who sometimes feels like an echo of Twin Peaks' Major Briggs. The only real positives are the cinematography and set design, which work together to turn the hospital corridors into unsettling, unnatural spaces.
