Harry W Mar 11, 2019 Very original concept for a scifi thriller! Highly recommend

Kylo W Jan 2, 2019 I really enjoyed this movie, from beginning to end. It's a complex tale of murder, mental illness, romance and self reflection. The serial murder needs to kill and take over the life of different individuals in order to survive. But along the way he retains all the memories of his previous iterations hence he has a head full of different voices. Along the way he used the body of someone who was in a relationship and he genuinely fell for that woman. Unfortunately he can only stay in each body for so long before it deteriorates, and he must flee to a new person/persona. But because he loves that woman so much, he finds way to constantly stay in touch with his love (by striking up a friendship with her at the bar she regularly visits). It's sad in a way because he doesn't enjoy killing all these people, but he needs to in order to survive. At the end when his guilt has caught up with him, he tries to go without switching bodies, hence tries to kill himself (because his body will deteriorate), but to his surprise he doesn't die and again is re-born into a new human body. This confuses him because he no longer knows the rules like he thought he did re his existence. I think there was a twist at the end which went over my head, so if you know what it is please reply back to me and let me know. For an indie the acting was really good and that's important because of a number of actors were used as he goes from body to body. It's a fun movie that's not your basic horror movie. See more

Theodore S Dec 29, 2018 McConnell's film places the main character in the role of both protagonist and antagonist. A shapeshifter, unsure of what it truly is, fighting emotionally against its own nature and drive to survive. Told in amplified conceptual storytelling, the film flows with a hint of melancholy juxtaposed against frantic horrific circumstances. It is all more "art film" than traditional horror. The acting is top shelf, and there is a consistency in identity that is maintained in the many actors who all play the main character Drew. It is an exceptionally hard task to maintain, and a necessity to make a story of this unique nature work. Kudos to both the director and casting. A voice narration lapped over the film by the original Drew helps but had not McConnell's writing been so strong, the story could have easily become muddled. The special effects are bone-cracking, visceral moments of practical, gooey delight. Unfortunately they are short-lived moments for most of the film , which moves pretty quickly. Perhaps if the pace were slower more time to enjoy the horror transformations could have been had, just saying. The pace also cripples the ability to really be vexed by the emotion and drama put forth in "Lifechanger". Still it is a good movie and definitely worth watching See more
