Synopsis

Spoiler shield

In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare before it's too late.

“There is a Hell. This is worse.”

"Hello 911? I'd like to report a theft. The Void has stolen the aesthetic from straight out of my brain and personally I feel very attacked." Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time.

Some neat contemporary aesthetics aside, it is a fairly template and unimaginative take on Lovecraft.
