2/10
Oh another dark corridor, shine your torch.....

Warning: Spoilers
George, Max and Ricky are musicians who work as cooks in the Sans Asylum to earn money to rent a studio to record their songs.

The asylum is in an isolated area and is monitored by a team led by the security guard J.B.

George has a concert but J.B. asks him to arrive early in the morning to receive the supplies for the kitchen. While he is preparing the meals for the inmates, there is a storm and a power cut.

With the hospital in darkness, the inmates attack the guards and staff. George and the other kitchen workers hide from the horde of violent madmen.....

Well here we go, it's another one of those silly movies, where people run around dark corridors flashing a torch, and saying to the inmates 'look, here I am, I'm supposed to be hiding, but I'm flashing a torch'.

But this one tries to be clever by adding a really intelligent ending, which falls flat on its face.

It's not the actors faults, they are really good, especially the performances of the inmates,its just the slap dash writing, they had something good to work with, but instead go for the awful stalk and slash and up the gore, whilst thinking 'it doesn't matter, we have this great ending'.

It's not great, and the film fails.
