There are several places that we usually do not want to be in/at. Let's say like a hospital or a haunted house or a light house. Who wants to be inside a haunted house in the first place anyway? And who wants to be at the hospital? Unless, of course you're a doctor or dating one. If you have ever spend the night at the hospital, I think no matter how fancy the building or the room is, you did still want to get out of that place as soon as possible. A matter being worsen if you don't have any visitor and had to spend the night alone while starring at the health machines besides you. Sublime takes advantage of those kinds of things.
Sublime revolves entirely around George Grieves (Tom Cavanagh), an everyday man who works as an IT consultant. George has to endure a colonoscopy operation at Mt. Abaddon Hospital. It's actually a simple operation, and George’s kindhearted wife and children know this, only George that worries too much about it. George's fear is added by the fact that the doctor in charge for his operation turns out to be an Iranian. Recalling that George is somehow racist white American, different with his son though.
Everything seems to be working out just well, with George's supporting wife, a nice room and a beautiful nurse. But after George wakes up from his operation, everything and every thing seems strange and unfamiliar, with everything that George has already familiar with is now completely shrouded in mystery.
Most horror movies focuses themselves on the horror or the tension alone, and while that prove to be effective in stirring the audience's emotion, but most of them lacks what it's called Stylish Directing. But not this one, not in this horror flick, Sublime delivers an artistically horror movie with a hall entirely occupied with suspense. Hey! Who said that horror should always be filled with screaming?
Sublime is a psychological thriller with a touch of social awareness, if not to say subtle insinuation to the mindset of the insinuated white American people who often misjudge other people from a different race. Sublime is a horror alright, with some gore scenes that could make average moviegoers cringe. But this horror film is also heavy on the drama, and thanks to the solid performance of all actors and actresses, the drama and the chemistry between them serve as solid background for the greatest point of Sublime...The mystery.
What is so differently good and entertaining about Sublime is the way the storyline involves the audience and figuratively sucks our attention until the very last minute. What could that be? The gore scene, the nudity, the acting? Nope, it's the mystery...Yup the way the storyline unraveled itself is captivating. It left me keep on guessing until just a few minutes before the ending credits role. And what a great time to spend in watching horror movie. Just when you think you could solve its mystery, the story puts another suspense, and then you would be captivated again with its story. Nice....Very.
