I do not usually write reviews with spoilers, however in this case I am left with no real option.
There are 3 main characters that spent most of the movie squabbling and shouting at each other. I assume to "add to the ambience" screeching in a confined concrete space adds. The entire story revolved around running up and down some heavily graffitied corridors in the dark with flashlights. I think there were a few areas where "something" could have happened and the writers may have intended some level of suspense there but then... nothing did happen...
Once the storys villain actually got to work, we were about an hour our own 75 minute long dire ordeal but by this point I was watching 10 seconds and skipping forward 30 seconds to get it over with and I didn't miss anything. The ending was also very predictable and the final nail in this productions coffin. No... that is wrong, it wasn't the final nail... by this point we were using an excessive amount of extra nails to make sure the coffin lid never ever slips off by accident.

Urban Boredom
Dumb
I didn't get the horror vibe. It really wasn't scary. The acting not great. Not really much to it and the ending was dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb. I suppose it could have been worse, but not by much.
High Energy and Scary as F.
This Australian Horror takes claustrophobia to a new level. What an incredible find for the setting, a derelict maze of a power station in the middle of nowhere - and what a place for evil to lurk! Amazing use of lighting and/or the lack thereof. Though the performances were at times a bit over the top, the pacing was relentless and while the little plot twists were a bit predictable, not too much story was ever given away. In fact the plot devices remained secondary as they should, leaving the audience to focus of the incredible atmosphere and the utter scariness of the scenario. A well made debut feature and plenty of questions and material for a sequel!
