Review – Red Mist

Odd title, considering there’s no mist of any color to be found here. Instead, this is a vaguely intriguing story about a group of med school pals who semi-accidentally put a mentally-disturbed acquaintance in a coma to keep him from ratting about their narcotics pilferage. One of the students has an attack of conscience, and she sneaks the guy an experimental cocktail of drugs designed to bring him back. Unfortunately for her and her friends, it leaves him in the coma but allows him to transmigrate, possess people at will, and go on a psychic killing spree of alarming viciousness. The picture takes a few interesting twists and serves up some icky gore here and there, but the joke wears out before the film stock is exhausted. Mildly amusing
