What critics compared Coma to
And, taking it back a few decades, there are tonal similarities to Dario Argento’s Deep Red, Roman Polanski’s The Tenant, and even Michael Crichton’s Coma.
Based on the novel "Eaters of the Dead" by acclaimed author and occasional filmmaker Michael Crichton (writer of "Jurassic Park" and "Disclosure," director of "Coma" and "Westworld") and directed by action guru John McTiernan -- who knows a thing or two about keeping body counts high -- the medieval-set film's only purpose seems to be seeing how many people can be killed during its 100+ minute runtime.
For all his success with novels like "Jurassic Park," "The Andromeda Strain," "Coma," and "Rising Sun," there lies a vacuous undercurrent to Crichton's oeuvre.
