This is the official imdb summary:
“While receiving a routine check-up, a woman finds herself stranded on the hospital’s eighth floor, while someone dressed as a doctor is intent on her never leaving, even if it means killing any staff member who comes into contact with her.”
And well, yes, the description is accurate. I was naive, so full of wishful thinking, I was really hoping for a serious dose of psychological hospital horror, complete with mind games and power games and what have you. And in a way, that’s what I got, just not in the way I expected. In the opening credits they say that this is a Golan-Globus production, which is a huge red flag if you have ever seen Superman 4 or even an episode of the never ending Lemon Popsicle franchise.
But then, big surprise, while the movie was so totally not what I was hoping for, it turned out to be a really decent slasher. Some of the murders are really good, some scenes are pleasently absurd, there are even some big and bizarre laughs in it.
This is not arthouse, nor is it Oscar material, it is not a cinema treasure full of images that were never seen before. But it’s fun, it’s just what you want to see when you pick a horror movie. And I like it.
