Coma (1978)
7/10
Made me afraid of surgery.

Yes, this movie most definitely had a negative impact on my life as it made me very scared of going under the knife. In which case it makes this movie a very effective movie as well. Also, it seems to be the first movie with the title of Coma made in a rather long list of them here at the internet movie database. The movie is about a hospital where there is something amiss. Seems a good number of the patients are going into comas after surgery and most of them are seemingly patients that are in relatively good health for the most part. One young lady doctor suspects something is wrong and she works to uncover the truth. You also have Michael Douglas who does not really believe her when she starts to find things out. All in all a rather good mystery thriller type movie written by the guy who did Jurassic Park and other science fiction type novels. It is entertaining for the most part, but it also has a few slow stretches of film as well. However, I can not deny that when I had a surgery years after I had seen this movie this movie came to mind when I was going under.
