Or 'søppel' as I like to say in Norwegian. No, I'm not Norwegian, but seeing that there are at least two 'different' reviewers on her that began their review with this oddly-specific phrase, I thought it appropriate. This was literally one of those films that I struggled to get through (and almost didn't). There were just so many long and drawn-out periods where literally nothing happens (unless you count scurrying back and forth in darkened hallways as 'something happening). When something actually DOES occur, it's the usual trite and hackneyed drivel which any seasoned horror fan would roll their eyes at and YAWN. I really wanted to give this a chance, as I recently did a research paper on the miner's strike and the UK's 'Winter of Discontent', so I was so excited to see that this was used as a backdrop to this film...only to realise at the end that it was just an excuse to justify the fact that the production crew only had enough money to rent out a hospital that had been abandoned for 50 years, and could only afford to buy 3 lightbulbs. *sigh*
score 1/10
