Reviewed By: Jimmy D.Rigor Mortis is a film going into it I have to admit I was really hyped up. I read all the glowing reviews and some of my blogging buddies went on and on about how this film is going to change the vampire genre. First time director Juno Mak has very high expectations with this film and he really works hard to create something unique but I just feel this film I was really expecting it to be better than it was. The actors for the most did a very good job, and the CGI stuff was really effective as well, but this film really had some bad pacing issues and it really takes its sweet time to really get going.
The mood of this film is dreary and depressing, which I felt for the most part was fairly effective at getting the message out, but I would have loved for this film to maybe interject something of a comic or light element, because as the film goes on it just seems that this film really was far more serious than fun. The film opens with an actor who tells us his career has went downhill and he is wondering how he is left in this shit. His wife has left him, took his son with her and now he is depressed. He moves into this rundown hotel and he hangs himself. The problem is while he is hanging he starts to see ghostly images, and before he breathes his last breath a man comes in and cuts the rope saving him. This near-death experience has made him a portal to two sisters who are ghosts to enter his body.
