Coherence (2013)

Coherence is a science-fiction movie for those who like to think. You’ll have difficulty wrapping your mind around the story unless you really pay attention and when you do, get ready to be scared. It isn't gory, there aren't any jump scares or anything like that. It's that the film explores an aspect of human nature that'll put you on edge. Writer/director James Ward Byrkit demands your full attention and rewards you for it.

During a dinner party, Emily (Emily Baldoni) and her friends experience a power outage as a comet flies overhead. After turning on the auxiliary generator, they notice another house nearby also has lights on. Inside, they discover duplicate versions of themselves.

The premise is simple. What would you do if you met a copy of yourself? Would you trust them? What does it say about you if you wouldn't? Can you be sure they would trust you? Who’s to say this duplicate version of yourself, simply by walking up to you/being approached by you, wouldn't have already started becoming a different person? I can already hear your mind racing. Now picture the scenario with eight people in total. As Emily, Kevin (Maury Sterling), Mike (Nicholas Brendon), Lee (Lorene Scafaria), Hugh (Hugo Armstrong), Beth (Elizabeth Gracen), Amir (Alex Manugian) and Laurie (Lauren Maher) come to grips with what is happening, their true selves start to shine through. Who panics? Who stays cool? Who does everyone turn on? Who do people trust? You never know how anyone will react or where the plot is going. That’s the intrigue you get when you encounter a scenario this crazy. Who knows what’s next?

What we have here is the kind of film you’d love to go back to with a pencil and pad of paper to map out where everyone begins and where they end. On your first ride, you’ll be swept up in the paranoia, claustrophobia and the dread created by the characters’ assumptions and decisions. You'll worry too much about the here and now to think about the true implications of what is happening but once you seen the whole thing, you'll be itching to re-examine all the puzzle pieces and see if they fit as hermitically as they seem to – trust me, they do. If you think you know where things are going, you don't. There are many juicy twists and turns coming. That second viewing might also allow you to notice the cast, which all play off each other wonderfully.

Coherence shows how much work a robust idea can do. It’s ingenious and inventive. You’ll be gripped… and the whole film is basically set in one house with minimal special effects. That proves to be one of its strength because – and I’m starting to repeat myself – the core is so good. There are so many different directions this setup could’ve taken, and so many different tones too! I could easily see someone taking this premise and going for a comedic or romantic drama story instead and that makes it great fun. (October 12, 2018)

COHERENCE (2013) Grade: B-

Felt like a classic sci-fi plot, like a classic Star Trek episode, just a level darker. Clever twist and ending. Got a little slow in the 2nd act. It's low budget but well produced.

listen. listen to me. you don't actually think the smuggler storyline is the best one. you like chapter one, and you like the dialogue writing, and you like Kath Soucie and Maury Sterling's voice performances, and you like the amount of sex you can have. that isn't - listen to me - that isn't the same thing as thinking it has the best story

It seems that every time someone from BMW shows up in a mystery show, they're the killer.

Examples:

Olivia Hussey (Aunt Prudence) in 'Murder, She Wrote', Season Two, Episode Five.

Bonnie Bartlett (Dean Bolander) in 'Murder, She Wrote', Season Six, Episode Two.

Maury Sterling (Eddie) in 'Diagnosis: Murder', Season Four, Episode Twenty-Two.

An exception is when Mark Harelik (Jed Lawrence 3) is killed in 'Diganosis: Murder', Season Eight, Episode Sixteen.
