Verdict on The Dead Centre

The Dead Centre is a horror mystery following a psychiatrist trying to understand the mystery around a new patient. To make matters worse other patients and nurses start acting strange or dying. The patient claims to have died and has brought something evil back from the other side, with the doctor and a detective needs to solve the mystery before it is too late.

This is a very unique and strange movie. It has plenty of elements of horror and the unknown as we wait to see what has been happening. This has plenty of terrifying sequences and hosting it inside a psychiatric ward helps add uncertainty. We never know where this will go, and this only helps add so much more terror to what we see.

Final Thoughts – The Dead Centre is a terrifying dive into the uncertainty of evil.
