Format:DVD
This film has dated well and still has the power to keep the viewer in suspense. Genevieve Bujold gives a convincing performance as the lead,Susan. Michael Douglas also puts in a good showing. Another memorable performance comes from Elizabeth Ashley. I will not go into plot detail and spoil the fun,but can tell you that this is a top quality production. There are moments of terror that I had forgotten about since last seeing this. The settings are everyday places,but are filled with menace.The Jefferson Institute where the final scenes take place, perfectly evokes a sense of coldness and ruthlessness.
This movie is based on a novel,and has translated well to the screen. This is a classic of 70s cinema sci fi.

Format:DVD
A very fine film which I know from previous viewing. However when buying a DVD product from th USA in Great Britain one must be careful that it can be run on British systems since the code in USA prevents viewing in GB. I could not run it because it is incomatable.

Format:VHS Tape
I saw this film many years ago when VHS/Betamax tapes were cool!! It's one of those medical thrilllers that will grab you in the opening scenes and keep you on the edge of your seat for its duration. In the story, patients undergoing routine surgery at a reputable hospital suddenly die on the operating table before being transferred to the Jefferson Institute where relatives are informed their loved ones are being cared for using sophisticated life support machines. As the plot thickens you discover that organs are being traded but who are the real perpetrators?

At the end of the day a well made film will remain a well made film no matter how old it gets. This is certainly true of Coma, which is now 27 years old, but yet is still an... Read more
