I didn't find this movie very engaging or memorable. There were some things well done about it--it builds slowly and has lots of atmosphere--but overall, it's the ending that let me down. I wanted to appreciate the metaphor, but it was a bit heavy handed. And only a short while after watching, I have to strain to remember details. I don't really recommend this movie, even if you think you might appreciate the socio-political undertones.

A Nurse in a Dark Hospital
Light in the dark
There are quite a few missdirections in this movie. And I understand if you feel like the movie might have wasted your time on certain occassions. Having said that, it is a trip (no pun intended) and if you cut it somet slack, the movie has some interesting themes and ideas.
Not everything works out perfectly, but the intentions are clear. And the message of the movie is too. Not everything that we see, is what we think it is. Sometimes we need to shed some light on it (no pun intended I think) - especially if you find yourself in the dark (alright maybe some pun intended).
Well played and acted, this is a decent horror movie, with a solid story.
atmospheric location
It's 1974 London. Britain is facing union strife and power cuts. Val (Rose Williams) is a new nurse in a rundown hospital. Something scary is lurking in the blackout darkness.
I like the time and the setting. This is essentially a moody haunted house horror. Rose Williams is a perfectly fine pretty actress. It is a bit flat. The characters aren't much. There isn't much to this movie. It's fine as a B-horror.
