Watched this with some friends. Found it most useful for ridicule, a la MST 3K.A teenage student (who appears to be 30) and a teacher for whatever reason agree to participate in a drug trial locked into a clinic with a confused doctor (Flight of the Concords' Bret McKenzie), an insane nurse, and, as it turns out, a family of ghosts looking for revenge. They experience hallucinations and explore the mystery of how the ghosts died.The movie is laugh out loud hilarious with the three main cast member of Flight of the Concords popping in and out randomly. The mystery makes no sense. The sexual relationship between the girl and the teacher would be creepy were she not clearly about as old as he is. The climax is ridiculously artificial.Basically, grab a beer and make fun of Diagnosis Death and you can have a good time. Take it seriously, and you'll be lost.

This is a nice, low-budget, interesting little movie. Great to see a film with one of the main writers as a lead (funny-man Raybon Kan, who is as good-a comedian as he is a movie star). Suze Tye was my favorite though, creepy & beautiful at the same time, I thoroughly enjoyed her character and the way she portrayed Nurse BatesComparable to Shaun of the Dead, (which also features a great writer/actor; Simon Pegg) but on a smaller scale, with very much the same RomCom Horror spirit (not so much horror, but enough to remove any chick-flick stigma :)I'd expect short-sighted mainstream movie-buffs to quickly denounce and criticize this film, so 'skip this one' if you're too narrow-minded to appreciate the simple things in lifeGo NZ movies!!

Anyone watching this expecting a horror will be missing the point. This is a movie which includes in cameo roles the stars of Flight of the Conchords.There's nothing serious about this movie, and the plot is very light; the reason to watch this movie is the characters, who though almost only two dimensional in depth, are very likable.The tone/rhythm of the movie is a lot like Flight of the Conchords, as is it's subdued humor.There really isn't much more to say about this movie.I enjoyed quite a bit.It's a light, enjoyable snack.

I deserve to have the word "sucker" tattooed on my forehead. I'd just finished watching season 2 of Flight of the Conchords and was in need of more. Stumbled across an advert for this film and immediately ordered it.Jemaine appears in precisely one scene (about 2 minutes) Murray appears in 2 scenes (about 3 minutes in total) Bret appears in 5 or 6 scenes as a peripheral inconsequential character.Truly awful pedestrian plot not worthy of a TV movie. I can only assume that the three starts of FotC got suckered into making this movie themselves.Really, don't bother with this. I gave it 3 stars and I think in retrospect I was being very kind. At that point I still had 20 minutes to go.
