Unrest has more than its fair share of problems, but I have to admit I did enjoy watching it. I can't give director Jason Todd Ipson too much credit, though, because he wrote as well as directed the project - and this storyline has some gargantuan holes and death-defying jumps of logic interspersed throughout. The inclusion of several really annoying little things (such as the fact that first-year med school students are constantly referred to as Doctors) also take something away from one's enjoyment. Still, I have to admit that there's just something about Unrest that I liked.
First-year med student Alison Blanchard (Britney Spears lookalike Corri English) isn't the first student to ever pass out at her first sight of a dead body, but she may be the first to explain her lunch-tossing reaction as a response to a strong feeling that something isn't esoterically right with her cadaver. She recovers in time to help her lab partners start dissecting the body, but she becomes obsessed with finding out whatever she thinks the exceedingly dead corpse is trying to tell her. So far so good with the creepy atmosphere, which is further heightened by the fact that poor Alison actually has to reside there in a dark wing of the hospital until her financial aid comes through. Her professor and lab mates just think she has typical first-year med school jitters, but it becomes obvious that something far from typical is going on when individuals connected to the body start turning up dead.
The casting in this film is, if nothing else, interesting. I think Corri English does a pretty good job in the starring role, and the fact that she bears such a strong resemblance to Britney Spears makes her even more interesting to watch. Speaking of very attractive women, you're also treated to the captivating performance of Deal or No Deal's Marissa in the role of a rather mesmerizing minor (yet crucial) character. You also have Jessica Alba's brother playing the role of one of Alison's dissection partners, while Derrick O'Connor makes for something of a quintessential gross anatomy instructor.
This film reportedly used real human cadavers, but that fact doesn't make Unrest a better or more provocative film - especially if you only learn about the use of real human cadavers after you've already watched the movie. As always, the story's the thing, and this story just has far too many problems to qualify as any sort of stand-out title in the After Dark Horrorfest collection.

Sometimes when your expectations of a film aren't too high you discover one that seems to stand out from the bunch and 'Unrest' certainly did it for me.
Whilst not a classic it's head and shoulders above a lot of these types of films. I thought it was filmed well. As I've stated before what you can't see is sometimes more spooky and this film definitely had some moments (mind you I've never been particularly fond of hospitals or unlit corridors)!!
The cast all do reasonably well (especially Corrie English who is a deadringer for Britney Spears), although they are hampered somewhat by a script that has a few plotholes and inconsistancies.
Overall though I was pleasantly entertained.

This film was awful - not in the slightest bit scary and I had to force myself to watch it to the end thinking maybe it would get better. Actors are really bad and at times I laughed out loud. Don't waste your money.
