Fantastic Fest 2009

Medical School. First year. First day. Students are thrown into their Gross Anatomy class where they see their own mortalities reflected in the dead bodies that lay before them - waiting to be cut up. Some students are reverent. Others turn to humor to lessen the horror in front of their faces. Sensing her cadaver is not at rest, Alison sets out to discover the truth behind this mysterious body. But each clue comes at a price: someone's life. Unrest is the brainchild of Jason Todd Ipson, a teacher and former surgeon, who has taken the familiar elements of the horror genre and combined them with his knowledge of the world of medical students to create an intelligent medical thriller that explores the issues around mortality and the separation of body and soul.
