   After a college
                            graduation, a group of people are
                            partying out and then accidentally runs
                            over someone when they plan to take their
                            last vacation and are stranded in the
                            middle of nowhere. But suddenly an ambulance arrives out of
                            nowhere and are sent in an ambulance with
                            their vehicle gone and entering a
                            mysterious hospital for the injured
                            victim who tries to tell them the people
                            there are evil.
 When they arrive at the hospital it is
                            empty with a minimal staff and a nurse
                            named Marian (Jenette Goldstein) who asks
                            them to take a seat and one of the people
                            named Bobby who was in the vehicle named
                            Bobby (Ross Kohn) discovers he is injured
                            as well with a piece of window glass that
                            was stabbed inside him and a paramedic
                            named Travis (Michael Bowen) whisks him
                            away in a room and is told he will get
                            the proper surgery.
 The hospital is looking very eerie when
                            Bobby's girlfriend Emily (Jessica
                            Lowndes) realises that her friends are
                            missing and these people are not
                            paramedics at all as they torture and
                            slaughter them to death conducting
                            inhuman experiments on helpless patients
                            under the instruction of Dr. David Benway
                            (Robert Patrick), a direct descendant of
                            the infamous New Orleans family that
                            committed atrocities in the 19th century.
 
   We spot an
                            impressive beginning to the story with
                            the young cast crying after hitting
                            someone while there's a shot on  the person who was hit grabbing
                            someones leg underneath the car which
                            makes you jump. We also have a good shot
                            on him in the ambulance weakly trying to
                            tell them they're in for danger with good
                            facial expressions.We spot a good shot on the character Bobby  looking
                            in shock and losing conciousness by
                            pulling out some broken glass inside his
                            skin with Travis  dragging
                            him into a hospital room with Emily  crying hysterically.
 We have a great shot on Emily  walking
                            in a hallway with a thunder storm and
                            approaching  a ghostly
                            like figure which adds nice flavor to the story.
 We see a nice shot on Dmitriy spotting a corpse and him
                            looking shocked, then getting sick and
                            suddenly jumping up behind Scott  putting a needle in his neck
                            which is another terrific jumping moment.
 We spot a good camera shot looking down
                            on Dmitriy lying on a
                            stretcher with a camera shot looking up
                            on Travis  pushing him with the
                            wall lights passing by.
 There's a good close up shot on Dr. David Benway's hand going inside his
                            stomach and taking out his heart which
                            makes you cringe as Dmitriy is awake and acting weakly in pain.
                            Perfectly directed in horror taste.
 A good shot on Nurse Marion   in
                            a room with a red light reflecting on her
                            along with Bobby lying in a room as the
                            setting looked truly evil.
 We see a nice dark and silent scene with Jude  slowly walking towards a body
                            bag in a room that is moving and him
                            wondering what is going on and suddenly
                            an arm moves out of the bag which this is
                            a real shock for the viewers making them
                            jump out of their seat.
 A good shot on a hospital corridor with Emily  running all the way and looking around
                            each corridor too.
 We have a nice scene with Emily  lying
                            on a stretcher and Benway putting a needle in her back all the way
                            with a great close up shot on it which
                            makes you cringe.
 We have a good moment on Emily  hiding with Scott  dissecting
                            body pieces and trying to reach for a
                            cell phone without getting caught.
 There's another great moment when she
                            tries to hide away under a desk in an
                            office with Travis  entering and
                            then thinking she's safe making out he
                            left with him grabbing her which is very
                            suspenseful.
 We have a good moment with Emily  crying towards  an officer telling him
                            what's going on and Travis  trying
                            to convince him she's a mental patient as
                            the direction was well done with this
                            psyching you out wondering who this
                            officer will believe.
 There's many great gruesome shots on Emily  smashing Travis'  head with him
                            doing well by suffocating to death and
                            she gets real menacing too.
 We spot a great struggle between Emily   and Nurse Marion  with
                            a chopping knife and fighting for it
                            showing great aggressions on the two of
                            them.
 We spot a good shocking moment between
                            both Emily  discovering Bobby  in a room and their dialogue about
                            getting out of the place with their
                            struggling attitudes and perfect shots on
                            the gruesome things around him which I
                            don't want to spoil it for you folks.
                            It's nothing that you've seen before in a
                            horror flick trust me.
 Bottom line: A film that was
                            similar to The Hostel but in much better taste in every way as
                            it really made you jump in many scene's
                            plus it made you wonder if the hospital
                            was haunted by zombie's too.
 The film also made you really fear of a
                            hospital which most do in reality and by
                            watching this you'd have every right. It
                            does make you squirm on these people
                            being tortured to death for those who
                            can't take intense pain or pain at all
                            for that matter. The film really starts off like I
                              Know What You Did Last Summer but then turns out to be totally
                            different to top it all off. The film was definetely dark and not
                            really showing any humor at all like
                            you'd picture in some horror films.
 
 The acting is very
                            well done as Robert Patrick (Dr. David Benway) does
                            his job well with a serious attitude as a
                            doctor but very creepy and mysterious
                            too. A perfect psychopath he portrayed
                            with his still expressions too.Jessica Lowndes (Emily) showed terrific
                            emoitons and energy to her part in the
                            film along with the perfect looks too and
                            great raging aggressions when she needed
                            to do that too. She does well with her intensity too especially in one of her first scenes when she's crying hysterically.  She also does a great job by reacting in pain for another scene.
 Jenette Goldstein (Nurse Marian) was always
                            versatile in her roles since I saw her in Aliens and really drew
                            attention to the viewers as an oddball
                            nurse in the film with her firm attitude
                            and a good evillness to her behavior too.
 Michael Bowen (Travis) showed perfect bad ass
                            aggressions to his part and really knew
                            how to act deadly and violent as I found
                            him to be the best actor in the movie.
 
 Tons of horror
                            gore in this film.A piece of glass is pulled out of a
                            persons ribs.

                            moments.
 
 The music was very intense
                            sounding with some rusty sound effects
                            and the loud thumping and some booming
                            sounds. Plus we have the airy synthesizer
                            music too which really fits in as well
                            all composed by Joseph Bishara.                 |
