Not bad at all, really. Formally speaking, is a very well made film, the special effects are satisfactory, the atmosphere is really good at times (especially at the beginning), and the story wasn’t disappointing, either (it even has a few interesting ideas). What the film is really lacking, though, is character depth. All of the characters without exception fit in templates like the weird girl, the fearless black guy and the caring father, etc., and you can’t produce top of the range horror with that today. The monsters are not shown very often, they are intentionally hidden in the shadows most of the time, which earns them some respect (they look like from a Lordi video clip). I’d give it four stars if it wasn’t for the weird (and weirdly executed) ending, which surprised me for a second… but the overall impression remains positive. 65%

I like the horror genre, and in the past, I have watched many famous and unknown films in this category. When you watch them again years later, you often marvel at how desperately bad these films are, and when you erase the factor of nostalgia, you are left with embarrassingly clumsy films that can only evoke a sympathetic smile at most. In the case of Dark Floors, I was pleasantly surprised, although it is definitely not a film that fundamentally innovates the genre or is among the best it has to offer. It's just an honestly made genre piece that uses the character of a little autistic girl, reflecting her anxious states and fantasies in the film. The plot does not unfold in the spirit of any logic because nightmares have no logic. Throughout the majority of its runtime, the film maintains an atmosphere created by the deserted corridors of a hospital building, the movement of the camera playing with shots of increasingly dilapidated interiors, and ominous sounds that can foreshadow anything. In addition, the film works with an interesting time loop. It is strong when it plays with hints and premonitions of something menacing, but it falls in moments when evil takes on a tangible form and puppets in the form of members of the famous Finnish music group Lordi appear. The film is cast with unknown actors, but their performances correspond to this genre and they definitely did not offend me. Overall impression: 55%.

Or how to market a metal band or any other type of band. Lordi is a band that completely passed me by, even though their commercial potential seems significant. With this movie, they just decided to confirm it by making something that is absolutely incoherent plot-wise, but occasionally catches your attention with special effects and some almost scary scenes.
