sanatorium sequel

Plot summary

An old sanatorium is deteriorating in an isolated forest in the mountains. Five contract workers have taken on the task of tracking the huge building for hazardous waste before it's demolished. They realize that the job is more than a search for asbestos and mercury when they encounter the building's frightening past. You can demolish a building, but never remove the past.

All loose ends

I usually am extremely fond of Norwegian movies because they are detailed and the acting is very good no matter if they are in Norwegian or English. Their plots are complex, but are very logical...THIS film only reflects SOME of those qualities.The characters are solid and very well acted for a horror film, but aspects of the characters are not clearly defined and aspects of their personal details are NEVER related to their part of the film. A good example is Frank's persistent cough which is emphasized throughout the film, but never relates to anything in the plot.The biggest failing of the storyline is that NOTHING is ever explained! The place was abandoned for years and yet it is never explained why there are still patients and staff still there? The reappearing nurse has a functioning crow's beak growing out of her forehead and it is never explained. The janitor is simply a caretaker yet he performs surgery and yet that is never explained.The film ends with two questions: 1. What the hell just happened. And 2. Why the hell did I watch it to the end!

People stingy with stars

FYI if you can't suspend disbelief for an hour or two (as evident in the low ratings), don't bother watching horror movies. This was very well done. The pace is perfect. It keeps you guessing just enough, but not so much that you lose interest 30 minutes in. It's like, Is everyone seeing ghosts? Or going insane? Is it hallucinations? Is that person up to something? I dunno if I trust her. Wtf is that?? Who is that supposed to be! It's good enough I didn't catch myself perusing memes during it. For one, abandoned insane asylum? Yea alright. Two, gorgeous scenes and a beautiful giant building falling apart? Uh, ya. In the absolute middle of nowhere mountain forest with an old bomb siren and creepy caretaker? I'm in. Cliché, maybe. But again, relax and pretend you're in for the ride and not to pick it apart. Maybe it's been done a bunch before, but that's because it works. There are locations, people and situations that are just inherently scary. Look past it and enjoy yourself.
