FILM 19 (31 Films of Horror) 2.0



FILM 19

FILM: Dark Floors

PREMISE: While in the hospital for a tomography of the brain of his autistic daughter Sarah, Ben becomes upset when there is a power failure. He decides to leave the hospital with Sarah, while the nurse Emily tries to convince him to leave Sarah for further treatment. They get the elevator with three other passengers, and suddenly the elevator stops; when the door opens, people has vanished from the hospital, the environment is creepy and they are chased by devilish monsters. They find that they are trapped in the hospital, and the creatures seem to be hunting Sarah.

REVIEW: Now I want to say this was a good movie. I think the film makers thought they had a really smart film with twist and turns. All they did was confuse and anger. It just was not an engaging film and I got very bored very quickly. There were some decent scares and the f/x were actually really good. The only reason to rent this would be the creatures. Apparently they are a GWAR like heavy metal band from Finland called LORDI. http://www.lordi.fi/Lordi_The_Official_Website.htm
Their costumes are incredible and very cool. I guess it wasn't that bad. Just a little confusing. I give this a 5 out of 10.
