Valtresca I would just like to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It scared me the whole time and even had me laughing while in fear at the same time... awesome! The "ride" down the East Wing where viewing some of the oddities/horrors of medicine and some of his own insecurities from his subconscious reminded me of the "ride" through the park "highway to hell" scene in the Machinist with Christian Bale. Of course Jacob's Ladder was the earliest film I can recall using this kind of imagery.This film was not however just like Jacob's Ladder which is about someone who finds redemption before his death. This is more about someone being "brain dead" and what that could mean... It could mean you are trapped in your own private hell created by subconscious. This hell could be created by the brains ability to still draw from the outside world if this is possible in someone who is considered brain dead would they want to be free... which means to die or continue living on in this state. That's the question it raises.

OJT I watched this after reading the comments. This film is way better than the average given. It's rare that IMDb is not able to give a correct rating of a film, I think, but this is very much the case here. Well, you can see the voters equally scattered all over the scale, but this tells that this is a movie being difficult for some to get.The movie is well played by the whole ensemble. And to many this is a quite perfect film. Others will never grasp the ideas of it. At least I got a lot of thoughts, and I think I would have done the film differently, but still it was well made. To me the movie tell several stories. Important ones. Do you know your fear, and what will you do to avoid it? Do you know happiness, and can you see it? Is a vegetative state what we think it is? Do we know when to pull the plug on a vegetative person? What is consciousness, and can you control it?And there's more. You might find your own thoughts into this. This movie is deep, slow, scary, and might also be depressing and of course tragic.Anyway, I'd like to see more after the end. I'd like the family to find some kind of peace, or wondering about the end. That would've made the film even better.

Robert W. It's not a typical jump out of your seat horror film. Some reviewers on IMDb have even said that Sublime isn't a horror film but that just isn't true. It's gory and blood soaked with killers and slashers but also has this completely twisted story that will leave you wondering what is coming next. The twist to the whole story is kind of predictable and yet you won't mind because the entire story is very unique and mind blowing with it's sheer twists. Nothing is as it seems and as much as some reviewers who really loved the film would like to make it seem so complex and deep it's actually pretty superficial. The plot unfolds at break neck speed and each point in the story leads you in a different direction. Mystery, extreme suspense, horror, blood, gore, a creepy hospital, twisted doctors, a sexy nurse, and a story of deception and making you afraid to ever have "routine" surgery. When all is said and done the film is a disturbing descent into one man's twisted nightmare.Thomas Cavanagh is very, very impressive as family man George Grieves who finds himself in strange, dark and twisted situation after being psyched up by family and friends about the danger of routine surgery. I only remember Cavanagh from the quirky TV dramedy Ed and this is from quirky or comedy. His character is quiet and kind of dark but happy in his family life. But the sheer terror he takes the viewer into is very impressive from his performance. Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs is equally as brilliant as the deranged and twisted Mandingo. He is the perfect "slasher-killer" for the film. His look and his voice and his performance is just brutally frightening. I would love to see him in this character again however unlikely that might be. Cas Anvar has a small role as Dr. Sharazi but I mention him because his character and his performance is subtly disturbing and there is something odd and complex about his character that fits the film and he does a good job. Katherine Cunningham-Eves brings new meaning to the "sexy" Nurse fantasy by being the only kind face and yet still manage to be twisted and disturbed.Any Horror fan should jump at the chance to check out this gem. It is totally off the wall and doesn't pretend to follow all the rules of the Horror Slasher or even psychological thriller formula. While director Tony Krantz is new to directing films like this he certainly has had experience as producer in a myriad of films and genres. His projects as of late have been a little obscure and his style fits this film to a T. Sublime isn't likely to blow you away but at the same time you won't be disappointed in watching it. You'll be intrigued and drawn in to the story. All the questions are answered, however strange the clues and the subsequent ending. See it for yourself and the haunting aura of the film will leave you smiling sublimely. 7.5/10

sven_nilsson-1 When I read the plot before watching Sublime I was wondering how it could possibly make up a horror film. It did not have the ingredients needed, and I must say that when I started watching my confusion grew only stronger. What is this? Nevertheless, although the movie starts off slowly a nice soundtrack keeps it from ever getting boring. The environment is eerie and many scenes have a dreamlike setup.There is one scene that I liked in particular when the nurse takes our patient on his first journey to the closed wing of the hospital. The ambiance is unbeatable and the camera-work is just perfect - all accompanied by this creepy drum-beat.On the downside you notice this is a low budget film mostly on the sound quality of the dialog. The microphones are probably camera-mounted which makes it difficult to hear what they say at times, particularly when the actors are not directly facing the camera.Picture quality is decent, although quite noisy.I recommend Sublime to anyone who likes atypical horror. When you watch it, try to figure out what it is all about - it will make things a lot more interesting. If you have not figured it out halfway through - don't worry, you will towards the end :)
