Awesome Movie
A Major Disappointment
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This is an Irish horror movie & as an Irish citizen I was laughing my head off at the building that was used for the hospital, drab with doom & gloom in every corner, I began to wonder if this was a jab at the HSE with over one million working class people on waiting lists to get into actual hospitals in Ireland.As a horror flick it's quite mediocre , a good premise that loses the story at the end. A very healthy female trainer is a victim of a hit & run and ends up paralyzed in the god forsaken hole that's called a hospital. The left side of her face is badly scared and the sutures are really badly done almost grotesque , huge stitches joining the flesh together, her left arm is sewn the same way. There are no coverings on the wounds and nobody cares enough to even check them. No surgeon visits either and no physio therapist is on call, in fact very few people work in this place. The patient also has an endotracheal tube which nobody checks either, but even this looks rather iffy during the story, as it doesn't look that secure.Even though the patient has a husband & a teenage daughter, they rarely visit her so her only friend is her male nurse who only washes her legs. Given her situation she should have a catheter which is overlooked in the film. But when things start to go bump in the night who really cares? Nobody does. Terrified by the putty faced demonic ghost the story unfolds to a very bad ending.
The acting was average but at least the hospital had creepy undertones. The problem was with the unbelievable scenarios, and more importantly, the plot that was all over the place. They made it seem like 'Nails' really cared for the kids--then it made it look like he killed them out of mercy--then there was a hint near the end that the woman who ran the hospital killed them. It was almost like they were initially going for a storyline twist where 'Nails" was framed and killed himself...but then just got lazy and dropped it. There were a ton of unbelievable scenarios and the ending was super weak. I love scary ghost movies but this one was just plain bad.
Typical horror movie. plot holes, yes. ending, worst ever.
The movie in my opinion deserves 2 stars it's by far not the greatest movie but it was worth watching for free on Netflix.Spoiler Alert This part of the movie irritates me. The medical tech Trevor should not be giving medical advice to the patience husband. Before he goes to clean her and she starts fighting to get him to stop. Him alone tightening her hand down, and then administering meds to calm her down in her iv bad had me rolling out load laughing. No med tech would ever have permission to do that. Enough of my rambling spoiler rant.
