What was dark floors about

At least some of this money went towards making the film more internationally marketable by having an English speaking cast and an unembellished cultural setting. The rest of the budget seems like it was smartly distributed to things like sound design and art direction.

The film has some significant problems to go with its upside. The characters are thin, stereotypical, and mostly forgettable. Dream logic prevails over so much of the story that the purpose of many details is either unclear or glossed over. And not be mean, but the Lordi track written specifically for the film; awful. This criticism dovetails nicely into the least successful part of the movie, the band itself.

The lone exception is Lordi or Mr. Lordi whose big biker overlord look works well for the final showdown. That the calculated, garish goofiness of the band is out of step with the tone of the film, is both an error in aesthetics and a testament to what director Pete Riski and writer Peka Lehtosaari have done well in terms of atmosphere. This mood is largely due to the directorial restraint shown throughout the first act and a half of the film.

Add to this some nice editing and the viewer is quickly submerged in the fractured world of the hospital gone to the demons. The texture is further enhanced via some impressive sonic layering with a nice array of bassy thumps and garbled transmissions that maximize the tension before the monsters start to appear. Alas the monsters do appear and they are a let down.

Markus Selin Producer. Though, after i saw the movie i was amazed at how well the writers and the director pulled it off. It is often said that horror is the most delicate type of movie because there is only a slight difference between scary and ridiculous.

The movie has many horror elements but doesn't still come off as horrorish. That doesn't make it bad it just means that you can't go in to the theater wishing that you will be scared out of your nickers. The visual and audio feel of the movie was excellent all the way and there is nothing anyone can say about that. The plot did leave a annoying amount of plot holes and the ending didn't really clear any of them up and the viewer was just left to quess what the plot was all about.

Still it didn't bother half as much as the under use of the Lordi band members. I have never liked Lordi and never listened to them but while watching this movie i became interested in the different monsters they play. Sadly, the plot did hardly nothing at all to use the unique backgrounds and looks of the different ghoul part from the different superpowers they all demonstrated. What i am saying is that i would have liked this movie to be more about the monsters than the victims The only character i got even a bit curious was the weird hobo with superpowers and a weird telepathic relationship with the girl but he is never explained in any way a big mistake.

In retrospect i think they could have done a lot more better but i also think that there is a lot of good in this film also and i hope it will be a success financially. There is just one thing Finns can't tolerate: a successful Finnish movie if it is not a drama.
