Exquisite Corpse Trailers

A medical student (Steve Sandvoss) is working on a research project and discovers that he is able to reanimate recently-deceased mice. He takes a break from his work to go on a trip with three friends. He admits to his friend Sophia (Nicole Vicius) that he loves her – but shortly after this she falls into a nearby lake and drowns. Using the methods from his research project he is able to revive her, but the process requires that he extract the hormone Oxytocin from a recently-dead corpse. He murders two women, and attempts to murder a third, in the process of keeping Sophia alive. His actions arouse the suspicion of his friends and the campus police. In a twist at the end of the film, Sophia remembers the circumstances of her death, which changes the audience’s perceptions of the actions of one of the main characters in the story

Reviews
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Paul Magne Haakonsen What did I just witness? Aside from 1 hour and 42 minutes of pure, unquestionable boredom? Well, nothing interesting to say the least. "Exquisite Corpse" was anything but interesting, and it dragged itself at an unfathomably slow pace.The synopsis of "Exquisite Corpse" states 'chilling modern-day Frankenstein'. Right! There was absolutely nothing even remotely Frankenstein-like about this story. A guy bringing a dead mouse and a dead girlfriend back to life, that doesn't even match the grotesque thing that is Frankenstein, as it was life given to a creature created from several different individuals.I was sorely disappointed with "Exquisite Corpse" and I must admit that I actually dozed off a couple of times throughout the course of this abysmal movie. And I also ended up with my focus on my mobile phone instead of on the movie.The story in "Exquisite Corpse" is about a young neuroscientist whose girlfriend accidentally drowns, and he breaks all codes of conduct and morale when he brings her back from the eternal sleep that is death. But in order to save her life, he must take the lives of others.Right, well it had potential, I will say that much. But branding it as a modern day Frankenstein, was just taking it too far. And while the storyline did have potential, it was just never utilized, as director Scott David Russell opted to let the movie scurry about at a snail-like pace.The acting in the movie was quite alright, taking into consideration that the acting talents here had next to nothing to work with in terms of storyline, script or anything else worthwhile for a successful horror movie.If you enjoy horror movies, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of this one. I suffered through it, more of less given my lack of focus on the unfathomably boring events on the screen, so you don't have to."Exquisite Corpse" scores a rating of two out of ten stars from me, and I do believe that I am being generous here.
leRosemont I'm not really sure why this has such a high rating, but I'm assuming it's down to the lack of viewers. The idea of this film is bizarre, at best. The film as a whole is under-developed and, because there wasn't really much time devoted to allowing the audience to begin to know the characters, there's very little emotional attachment. Given how easily the protagonist is swayed to kill, it seems almost as though he was waiting for an excuse. He'd been dating his girlfriend for less than a day when she died and yet he was so utterly destroyed by it that he turned to murdering other people to revive her. This theory he has developed to bring sentient beings back from the dead is never really fully explained, the only thing the audience is given is some garbled scientific nonsense, despite the fact that it is the basis of the entire film and deserves a much more thorough explanation. The ending was laughable and a little pointless. Overall, it seems that the film is simply an indirect stab at the lack of morality behind research into cloning and other 'Frankenstein-esque' scientific experimentation.
