Talk about exceeding expectations! You watch a low budget cheap horror movie called, appealingly, Dark Floors. Chances are it's gonna be shite, yeah? Make the monsters, who haunt the deserted hospital thats stuck in time, the fully made up band members of European Song Contest Champions, Lordi...and you've got a massive stinker. Right?
Nope. This is a well crafted, strongly directed ghost/monster movie. The cast, including a bloke that used to be on Emmerdale and that bloke from Aliens, is fine. But its the confidence and restraint the director has in holding his shot to maintain atmosphere and tension. The monsters stay unseen for the most part, appearing sporadically to kill the defenceless few.
Long Live Lordi!
