The film is in tune with the need to remain lucid and empathetic while in the maw of human extremity. Read full review

Obviously, director-writer Billy Senese didn’t have a ton of money to work with, but The Dead Center wisely eschews gore and special effects in favor of setting a dark, malevolent mood. Read full review

What it has going for it in spades is supremely creepy atmosphere. The hospital virtually becomes a major character in the story itself, its washed-out coloring and neon lights making everyone look like they have a sickly pallor. Read full review

There’s a lot of excellent atmospherics here that are more unsettling than the actual violence, which in turn is all the more effective for largely being kept just off-screen. Read full review

Carruth’s troubled performance holds the piece together until it loses the thread on its own tenuous mythology, descending into incoherent cacophony. Read full review

In the food of silly and cliché possession movies that don't even try to be original this little gem truly shines.

You can feel deep inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft work in this movie, the actors do a good job, and the act of "possession" is very well-thought-out and executed. One of theIn the food of silly and cliché possession movies that don't even try to be original this little gem truly shines.
