The first thing I noticed when I received a copy of Sublime (Unrated) was the following quote on the back of the box:
“Reminiscent of a really great Twilight Zone.”
Being the Twilight Zone fan that I am, this proclamation had me watching the movie while keeping this wonderful classic television series oddity in the back of my mind at all times, with obvious skepticism. The skepticism I initially held onto did not prevail as the movie’s plot channels you into some very thought-provoking concepts.
Sublime is a movie that should be the proverbial academic standard as an example of the genre “Psychological Thriller”. It makes you think. It makes you wonder. And it will make you ponder some very horrific possibilities.
The Story
Family man George Grieves (Tom Cavanagh of TV's Ed and Love Monkey) checks into Mt. Abadon Hospital for a routine procedure. When he awakens from his anesthesia, something is terribly wrong...with George...with the hospital...and especially with the shuttered East Ward, an eerie lair of secrets, sex and surgical terrors. Raw Feed presents the fear-drenched psychological thriller Sublime, directed by Tony Krantz (executive producer of 24) from a screenplay by Emmy Award winner Erik Jendresen (Band of Brothers). In the tradition of cinema's classic tales of suspense, Sublime will keep you guessing as its puzzle pieces fall into place, and leave you stunned by its astounding conclusion. Graphic, bold, sexual and utterly horrifying, Sublime explores what happens when what you fear becomes real.
