Coma (1978)
5/10
Comatose
28 November 2023
A doctor discovers that there are too many comas at the hospital where she works and begins to investigate what appears to be more of a conspiracy than a simple coincidence.

Directed by Michael Crichton (also an excellent screenwriter) based on the novel by Robin Cook, it has some cheesy elements in the making, but also great cinematography and camera shots. Some great actors at the beginning of their careers participate in this film, most notably Michael Douglas. Although it has one or two plot holes, it has an excellent creepy atmosphere that John Goldsmith's soundtrack enhances even more. It's slow and takes time for the story to get going, but it has a lot of suspense.

Conclusion: a good premise that did not have the expected impact on the development of the story and, as the title suggests, at a very comatose pace.
