Thoughts on Discarnate
Thoughts – Discarnate is a horror thriller that will see science mix with the supernatural, as a scientist looks to find the creature that took his son 10-years-earlier. This will give us a series of nightmare situations to experience with the character, each one becoming more graphic and disturbing, playing into the characters own nightmares. Discarnate is a horror that is looking for more shock value with the creations within the nightmares, using the weaknesses of losing a young child or sibling to make the connection easier. This being said, it is amazing how easily scientist would jump at the idea they are being visited by a spirit. The performances in the film are strong, without needing to do too much, the strongest part is more about the creations haunting them.
Final Thoughts – Discarnate is a shock value horror movie 101.
