One of my all time favorites.

Dreadfully Boring

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

**Please BE INFORMED THAT THIS REVIEW CONTAINS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF SPOILERS. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE, I WOULD RECOMMEND WATCHING IT BEFORE YOU READ THIS REVIEW. THANK YOU.**Interesting, is the least that could be said. The movie starts out in this hospital, where this guy's daughter is getting an MRI on her brain, due to some dysfunction of some sort. Then, the hospital staff just ups and decides to put her on new medications without the father's consent. At this point in the movie, the script really bugged me. The sincerity in the people was lacking. All the dad did for his daughter was complain to the nurse after she told him that by not taking them at the right time, she could die. Either he didn't give much of a crap, or what? That's when my connections to the characters started to fade. All of a sudden, in an elevator that the dad, little girl, nurse, and a handful of other people, including this guy Tobias, were on broke down. Now apparently after getting off the elevator, these people were transported to a point of a standstill in time. They were on the line between two dimensions. Then it was brought to my attention that the little girl and Tobias were the only ones that knew what was going on. The monsters in the new time stasis didn't want anything to do with Tobias. I think it was because he was dying. Again, the movie fails to tell us this. They end up running into themselves in this time loop. In fact, they pretty much are following themselves as separate people throughout the hospital. The "others" are them about 30 min in the future. So, I took it as a never ending circle of time. I was so confused at this point.It turns out throughout this whole time era; the monsters are all after the little girl. Apparently there's something special about her they like. Yet again, nothing is explained about that either, other than the fact that she knows what's going on. Finally, at the end of the movie, some big demon emerges from the blackness. I don't know if it was supposed to be the devil, or just some messed up monster. It isn't exactly clear what happened to the little girl either. It showed her walking towards it. Then the scene shifts back to the point just after her MRI. What in the holy hell happened? Was it her facing death, or was it a dream? I couldn't even begin to tell you.To sum things up, this movie was okay. It had its moments. However, there was a very poor connection to the characters, and major plot holes throughout the story-line. I would give this movie a [ 2.9 / 5 ] (D+)

Remember Lordi, the band that won the Eurovision song festival way back in time. When they were hot with their monster look (GWAR anyone) they were a bit over-hyped. If you just listen to their music it didn't sound to be honest really hard like a metal band should do. But still controversy aroused when they won the festival and to cash in on that a flick was made. Don't expect that they are really acting. They are just doing what they can do best, hiding after their masks. I didn't like their movie to be honest, there was too much of CGI used for the effects and the story isn't really ground breaking, it even reminded me a bit of Silent Hill (2006). No gore, a thing I thought I was going to see with a metal band involved, or even nudity to see here in Dark Floors. Back then people wanted to see this flick, I waited for years to see what the fuss was all about. Much to do about, sigh, nothing.Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5

This movie was released without any fanfare in local mall cinema houses, buried among the big guns like "Dark Knight Returns" and "Ice Age 4." I just noticed it because I am always on a lookout for good horror movies. It turns out that "Dark Floors" had been already released abroad way back in 2008. That fact does not sound very promising at all."Dark Floors" is about a autistic girl Sarah (spooky-looking Skye Bennett), who apparently experienced a panic attack while undergoing a CT scan. Her dad Ben (Nick Lachey-lookalike Noah Huntley) wants to bring her home immediately, while her kind nurse Emily (pretty young Geena Davis-lookalike Dominique McElligott) suggests to have her confined for observation. However, while on the way down in the elevator, a power outage occurs and they get trapped in with three other men. When the power came back on, the hospital appeared deserted, and their group was under attack by monsters (Lordi) determined to finish them off.The movie as a whole was pretty pointless. It was just a typical horror flick where a group of survivors get picked to die one by one, in this case by a motley crew of monsters and ghosts wearing leather outfits. They looked quite familiar while I was watching. It turns out these monsters were played by the members of the Finnish rock band Lordi whose claim to fame was to win the Eurovision Song contest in 2007, memorable for wearing elaborate monster make-up and outfits. And Lordi was one of the "writers" of this movie!I see, so this project is nothing more than a gimmick movie for this band Lordi to capitalize on its Eurovision victory. So that is why it felt like a monster spoof at times, not really scary. There were some poignant moments in there, particularly with Ms. McElligott's last scene, for which I am giving two extra points. But other than that, there is really nothing much else going for this film, being the most expensive movie made in Finland notwithstanding.

Look this is not that difficult to understand! I'll admit, I did read the posting that Lordi was a band and that they wear ridiculously silly monster costumes, and that the head goon (the completely un-terrifying monster in the garage (who looks more like a hamburger stand chef from the 70's than a monster) can control time etc. and the rest of the silly monsters hunt down loony Lordi's enemies; but even without that knowledge you can tell what's going on here. You can tell it's a fight of good v evil and that the girl in going through the fight several times (look at the two dead people who are huddled together in the hall and see a striking similarity to the nurse and dad. The one guy who knows what's going on is dead and keeps hanging around, the security guard died twice- yes that's probably him that's turned to dust in an earlier incarnation.Anyway, it's not a bad movie. I like the atmosphere and the scary- if you can really call them scary moments. But one thing the movie could benefit from is much less- MUCH LESS- air time for the silly monster band members. The only one they did right in the movie was the banshee, and by right I mean she was a ghost effect so you couldn't see completely how completely silly she looked. So, stick the band members in the shadows, up the scares (I mean they had no idea how to create a scare so instead, they just piled the corridors full of dead bodies), plus a little better acting and better lines (I mean some of the dialogue was so stupid and didn't even fit the scene) and you could have a movie worth seeing more than once.
