Red Mist
A young doctor in a US hospital administers a powerful and untested cocktail of drugs to a coma victim. But instead of curing him, it triggers a powerful "out-of-body" experience and enables the patient - a depraved and dangerous loner - to inhabit other people's bodies and, through them, take revenge on the bullying medical students who were accidentally responsible for his condition.

One of my all time favorites.
I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Great Film overall
Best movie ever!
One reason I rented this is to see Arielle Kebbel, who did a nice turn in "The Uninvited." She is the lead here and is on screen for 90 percent of the movie. She has a very full, slightly downturned mouth that is hugely expressive. big eyes, too. You see a transformation come over her in the course of the movie, changing from Ken-pitier to Ken-hater. I had to smile when she tells the cop near the end "In a heartbeat." The copy I rented was titled "Red Mist." "Freakdog," which is an important word in the movie's plot, I think is a better title.This movie is ... the only word that comes to mind is "good." It is well shot, moves at a pretty fast pace (especially at the end) and is decently acted by a cast of mostly unknowns.Considering what is happening in horror movies these days, this movie is rather remarkable for the restraint it shows. There's gore and several nasty deaths, but these shots are never gratuitous. They just show what is necessary to make the point.This belongs to the horror subgenre of rogue medical students. This is a worthy if unspectacular addition. The absolute pinnacle in this subgenre is, of course, "Re-Animator."
I just watched this movie, titled as Red Mist. I see now why it also has the name Freakdog, its what the teens in the movie called the outcast, and by the way an excellent performance by Andrew Lee Potts(Return To House On Haunted Hill) as the flicks villain. This movie featured three very hot chicks, Arielle Kebbel(The Uninvited and The Grudge 2), Sarah Carter(Skinwalkers and A Date With Darkness) and MyAnna Buring(The Descent and Doomsday) and others who all work at a medical center. In this movie, a group of popular friends target a loner and when a prank goes too far, he winds up in a coma. When one of them regrets what happened to him, she injects him with a experimental serum, that has killer side effects. Soon enough, the ones responsible for his accident begin to die one by one, but the worst part is he can be in anybody. The remaining friends work to find a way to stop him, but they find out, that you cant always trust your friends in this horror thriller. I really enjoyed this movie, i wish that it would of been out in theaters, i would of definitely gone and seen it, plus I'm a huge fan of Arielle Kebbel, her movies always rock.(John Tucker Must Die and American Pie: Band Camp). So, i definitely recommend this flick to die hard horror fans!!
I just got done watching Red Mist, a.k.a, Freakdog and the film was a little underwhelming. I won't compare this film to Marc Schoelermann's Pathology, but the characters in both films played out the same. What I mean is that, in both films, their characters are young, attractive, with a penchant for nihilistic/masochistic behavior.The film, IMO, is too rushed. There are some interesting subplots in the film that don't get any explanation. I know that in horror films character development goes bye-bye, but this film could have used some. I know that this won't qualify as a spoiler because it is never explained, but the character Kenneth has his pants pulled down in front of the young doctors and there are all these scars on his legs. We don't get an explanation which could be useful or help explain what is going to happen later in the film. The whole film seemed like it wrapped up in the last fifteen minutes of the film. There could have been more added to the film.
Having seen the Northern Ireland premier of this home-grown horror film at QFT in Belfast, I can now share my disappointment in its complete lack of features that would lead me to recommend it. 'Freakdog' tells the somewhat original tale of a comatose man's control over a group of friends, leading them to commit unspeakable acts. Unfortunately, it fails on almost every level; a complete non-starter as a horror film and totally incoherent as a thriller.The opening portion of the film is simply dull; a chance for the screenwriter's occasionally competent dialogue to be ruined by an ill-conceived cast. The character development is so lacking that all human aspect of the story is played entirely in cliché, and the standard of acting is poor even for a low-budget independent feature.Of course, the purpose of this film is obviously to provide either shocks or genuine, disturbing scares. It delivers neither. The film is utterly inept as a horror, offering nothing but a series of mild gore scenes to fans of the genre. Essentially, this film is mixture of poor acting, dull cinematography and a script that, despite a few good pieces of dialogue, is both confusing and simplistic in equal measure. However, the production team must be commended for successfully shooting a U.S-set film in Belfast, which is carried of convincingly.Overall, 'Freakdog' is a poor effort when pitched against either major Hollywood horror films or the usual B-movie fare. It fails to deliver the necessary scares and constantly suffers from poor acting and a ludicrous storyline. I really cannot recommend this film, which is a real shame as I was hoping it would deliver so much more.
