Unrest is a low-budget but very watchable horror film about a medical student Allison (Corri English) who becomes obsessed with a corpse she is dissecting.

Although students are not supposed to find out the origin or identity of the corpses they are studying, Allison becomes fascinated by the cadaver of a young woman who was once a sadomasochist. Gradually, Allison's classmates who have contact with the cadaver start to die, so Allison becomes more determined than ever to find out why the spirit of the dead woman has not found rest in the afterlife...

Written and directed by Jason Todd Ipson, Unrest is a fairly original B-movie with a refreshing spin on the undead corpse gimmick. The unique soundtrack combines traditional horror scoring with tribal chants to delirious (and sometimes overblown) effect. And with a cute unknown cast, it's bound to please B-movie fans.
