Reviews:
” …Winnick isn’t interested in making something rough around the edges, preferring a more complex answer to many questions raised in the picture, and even that isn’t satisfying. “Disquiet” is junky and simple, but it doesn’t want to remain so, preferring to make a bigger point about life and death to give viewers something meaningful to contemplate. The effort is laudable, but the movie is too undercooked to handle such contemplation.” ★★½ Blu-ray.com
” …Jonathan Rhys Meyers spends most of the time acting all disoriented and perplexing throughout the movie. His character isn’t that interesting, to begin with, and frankly, I don’t really care whether he can make it out of the hospital at the end of the movie […] he deserved a better-written character than the one we get in Disquiet. The rest of the cast is just as forgettable.” 5 out of 10, Fiction Horizon
“Certainly, the presence of Meyers is an effective one, essential in keeping the film grounded […] his reactions to the bizarre circumstances here felt natural, and it’s a performance which is a significant factor in the movie’s success. Despite spotting the overall direction, things didn’t end entirely as anticipated, although the finale could perhaps have done with more room to breathe.” Rating: B, Film Blitz
“If you can just sit back and watch Disquiet as a camp and kitsch experience, then I suppose it could be quite entertaining. However, keep in mind that the B horror – actually, C horror – feel doesn’t seem one bit intended. It just comes across as a somewhat sad production […] I cannot see any passion or love for the genre. Or even this particular story.” 1 out of 5, Heaven of Horror
“Overall, there are worse ways to spend your time than giving Disquiet a try. It has some impressive effects, a haunting score, and non-stop action. The leading man’s storyline is a bit flat, and the twist is predictable, but the feature is still an entertaining 90 minutes with some Jacob’s Ladder vibes.” 6 out of 10, Horror Buzz
“Frankly, it is hard to really explain why Disquiet works to the extent that it does—but somehow it does. You know where it is going, but it overachieves to the point that some of it sort of sticks with you. Better than anticipated, but still mostly recommended for ravenous horror fans…” J.B. Spins
“Disquiet comes off better if you look at it as more of a supernatural thriller or mystery than an actual horror film. Apart from a few jumps you won’t be scared. But even if you’ve figured out what’s going on, you’ll probably be curious about how it ends making it worth a one-time watch.” 3 out of 5 stars, Voices from the Balcony
