Donor Unknown is a curious blend of crime and thriller that really gets under your skin. The pacing is quite methodical, which I appreciate; it lets the tension build as Nick Stillman, a pretty cynical insurance fraud investigator, grapples with his unexpected second chance at life. The atmosphere is heavy, filled with a palpable sense of dread and moral ambiguity. You can feel the weight of Nick's realization that his new lease on life came at such a horrific cost. The performances, though not widely celebrated, bring a gritty realism that fits the narrative perfectly. Plus, there's an interesting use of practical effects that adds to the unease without going overboard. It's certainly a unique entry from '95 that raises questions about ethics and the value of life in a pretty gripping way.
