Like I said, most experienced horror fans will probably call the twist early on but when the execution is this good it's hard to complain. It seems “healing” is what this place does best as other patients mention having their tongues cut out, being burned alive and any number of other gory fates. Yes, she's had her appendix removed but the surgical scar has almost completely healed. You see, Sharyn ( Ashlynn Yennie, delivering a solid performance) wakes up to find herself trapped in a dingy facility run by the hypnotic Dr. She's rushed to the hospital and within MINUTES we're thrust headfirst into the film's central mystery. We open with the aftermath of a VICIOUS looking hanging before immediately jumping to a woman suffering from appendicitis. Even the telegraphed twist and one character's Dad joke-level pun name do little to take away from the experience.įirst off, unlike the Frankenstein stew of table scraps and misspelled words that was regrettable Birthday clown Michael Cimino's Heaven's Gate, Antidote gets moving FAST. With a skilled cast and a terrific script penned by Matthew Toronto and Peter Daskaloff (who also serves as director), this crew KNOWS where to put their effort. Like Cube before it, Antidote from Uncork'd Entertainment is an inspiring example of what can be done on a wee budget ($750,000 according to IMDb).
