I surprisingly quite liked this. There is most certainly a lot to forgive as far as shortcomings go... but for a solidly creepy, anxiety inducing little thriller/horror with a concept full of potential... not bad.
This wastes no time throwing you right into the thick of it which I quite liked. The pacing there after was up and down. Not perfect but not awful. I feel like one of the bigger missteps as far as plot goes was any sort of background or context on the doctor. They would give us a hint here and there with a room or an object... and then just leave us hanging. So much storytelling potential squandered.
The acting was a bit hit or miss as well, I don't think anyone was bad per se, but they weren't always hitting the mark for a horror/drama/thriller that I wanted to see, which was a little frustrating because if they were on point it really would have taken this to another place.
The thing I liked most about this movie and what drew me to it to begin with was the story. Although it had hints of being slightly derivative of the SAW franchise and little blips of feeling silly/amateurish, there was still something about it that retained an intriguing factor and felt different and enthralling.
Despite the vibe of the ending feeling a tad hokey, conceptually I was not mad at that either. I would loveee to see someone remake this with a solid budget and some reworking of the cast/plot in a Last Shift/Malum way because I think it has the potential to be a banger. Would recommend.
