For pleasing pre-Halloween viewing, you could do a whole lot worse than The Dead Center. Just don't expect too many nightmares afterward.

Rated: 2.5/4

Variety

There's a lot of excellent atmospherics here that are more unsettling than the actual violence, which in turn is all the more effective for largely being kept just off-screen.

Makes hospitals seem even scarier than they already are.

Warped Perspective

This is a horror film - in the sense of horrific - through and through, a grim mystery which grows ever and ever nastier.

Film Inquiry

As riveting as it is fresh it's a slow and dreadful burn that, despite its detrimentally short run-time, manages to be one of the more intriguing, effective indie thrillers as of recent memory.

Always Good Movies

Mediocrely entertaining and repetitive in the procedures, The Dead Center lacks guts and never coheres into something special.

Rated: 2.5/5

Tried to get into this, but just couldn't. Well acted, had a brooding plot, but just wasn't doing it for me. Some will like it.

I don't often leave reviews, but had to create an account to hopefully save someone an hour 30 minutes. Absolutely terrible, lazy writing, with a pointless ending. The acting was the only redeemable part, but at the end of the day, the actors should've known better than to accept their roles after they read the script. With nonsensical doctors that blame one of their own psychiatrists rather than a mental patient, I can safely say this is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. F-

If you're like me and will spend more time looking for a movie to watch that could've been spent just watching one, this one is entertaining. No, it's not going to be the greatest movie you've ever seen, but it's short enough and captivating enough to be not a huge commitment. I liked it.
