I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Overrated and overhyped

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

In this garbled mess of a film that tries to be more intelligent than it is, a 40 year old computer technician goes into hospital for what should be a routine colon scan, only for things to get trippy, man... No, seriously.With competent acting, not much seemed to happen as the hot nurse - and she was hot - proved not enough to deter my growing resentment as the badly handled mystery eventually began to unfold, boring my to tears in the process, before things turned incredibly nasty towards the end.I reckon that somebody watched Miike's Audition and thought, "Hey, let's do an ending like that," failing to realise how out of place it was given the lack of warning in the set-up.It's difficult to go into any further details about this bag of crap without somebody sticking a SPOILER cuss on this opinion (since I don't actually write "reviews"), but the only thing you really need to know before watching this film is this: AVOID.Or, you can listen to your gut after the terrible opening and awful dialogue of the following bedroom scene, and turn it off not even 5 minutes in.Believe me, you'd only be sparing yourself from sitting through a very bad film.

Back around 1980, when cable TV started its proliferation, it still had that anything goes feel that happens with something new. HBO was one of the first premium channels and along with the usual movies that filled out its limited on-air hours (it was not on 24 hours back then) the network often programmed what could be described as filler content especially on the weekends when it was on the air for somewhat longer stretches. Most of these films were forgettable movies like Ashanti" (boring and lifeless) and "Voyage of Tanai" (truly a WTF movie if there ever was one). But into this mix would sometimes appear movies that did spark interest and sometimes became hits because of their airing on cable. Two films that come to mind are "Over the Edge" (which made a big impact on the girls in my 8th grade class due to Matt Dillon) and "Homebodies", a truly oddball movie about senior citizens becoming homicidal when confronted with the prospect of being evicted from their homes. Both of these films were true finds and could have found life playing commercial stations as well but their presence on cable made their impacts more pronounced because of the lack of commercials and no editing. "Sublime" falls into this category. Apparently a straight-to-video release, it stars what could only be described as second tier TV actors (Tom Cavanagh, George Newbern) and directed by Tony Krantz who had no directorial credits to his name. Surprisingly, the movie plays extraordinarily well. It's suitably eerie, confusing (intentionally so) and most importantly, it makes you care about the main characters especially Cavanagh's George and Kathleen York's as George's wife, Jenny. I will admit that I did not "get" a lot of what is allegedly the films symbolism and frankly the point of the movie really didn't hit me (I kept rewinding it right before the end to hear what Jenny and George were talking about because it seemed to be related to what he does) but to me, it didn't really matter. "Sublime" is not a film that someone just threw together. It has a great atmosphere, is intelligent and thoughtful and is certainly not your run-in-the-mill enterprise.

It's not a typical jump out of your seat horror film. Some reviewers on IMDb have even said that Sublime isn't a horror film but that just isn't true. It's gory and blood soaked with killers and slashers but also has this completely twisted story that will leave you wondering what is coming next. The twist to the whole story is kind of predictable and yet you won't mind because the entire story is very unique and mind blowing with it's sheer twists. Nothing is as it seems and as much as some reviewers who really loved the film would like to make it seem so complex and deep it's actually pretty superficial. The plot unfolds at break neck speed and each point in the story leads you in a different direction. Mystery, extreme suspense, horror, blood, gore, a creepy hospital, twisted doctors, a sexy nurse, and a story of deception and making you afraid to ever have "routine" surgery. When all is said and done the film is a disturbing descent into one man's twisted nightmare.Thomas Cavanagh is very, very impressive as family man George Grieves who finds himself in strange, dark and twisted situation after being psyched up by family and friends about the danger of routine surgery. I only remember Cavanagh from the quirky TV dramedy Ed and this is from quirky or comedy. His character is quiet and kind of dark but happy in his family life. But the sheer terror he takes the viewer into is very impressive from his performance. Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs is equally as brilliant as the deranged and twisted Mandingo. He is the perfect "slasher-killer" for the film. His look and his voice and his performance is just brutally frightening. I would love to see him in this character again however unlikely that might be. Cas Anvar has a small role as Dr. Sharazi but I mention him because his character and his performance is subtly disturbing and there is something odd and complex about his character that fits the film and he does a good job. Katherine Cunningham-Eves brings new meaning to the "sexy" Nurse fantasy by being the only kind face and yet still manage to be twisted and disturbed.Any Horror fan should jump at the chance to check out this gem. It is totally off the wall and doesn't pretend to follow all the rules of the Horror Slasher or even psychological thriller formula. While director Tony Krantz is new to directing films like this he certainly has had experience as producer in a myriad of films and genres. His projects as of late have been a little obscure and his style fits this film to a T. Sublime isn't likely to blow you away but at the same time you won't be disappointed in watching it. You'll be intrigued and drawn in to the story. All the questions are answered, however strange the clues and the subsequent ending. See it for yourself and the haunting aura of the film will leave you smiling sublimely. 7.5/10

that it was sold as a horror movie!!! Just image the deception that this film caused on so many couples looking for a good excuse to hug and touch! Instead, they got a quite interesting film that requires you to actually watch, and even use a couple of neurons! Anyway, WB made a mistake with the marketing strategy for this film. I don't which genre it would fit in, perhaps thriller? That way, I am sure this movie won't be getting so many "I wasted my time" reviews.And BTW, I don't see how bad can it be to "waste" a couple of hours with a different movie!? I don't see anyone complaining about the time it takes to write a movie review, or queueing in the bank, or stuck in traffic.It is a shame that people are not willing to experiment different approaches to art (and in life!). They sound like Republicans.
