First off, we have a bunch of twenty-somethings at Mardi Gras, getting loaded, and then, for some reason (being loaded, maybe?) they have an accident and crash into a tree. Apparently they were also so loaded that they didn't notice a body under their car, a man, still alive, who has escaped from a local hospital, and moments later, an ambulance with two orderlies that were looking for the guy happens by conveniently. Since the kids are rather banged up, they're also taken into the hospital.A rather strange place, this hospital, and according to the duty nurse, they're running on a skeleton crew since Katrina...which was HOW many years ago at this point in time? One by one, the young folk are taken to see the doctor (or wander off), only to mysteriously not come back. Suspicious? Well, sure, I guess.The kindly doctor, as played by Robert Patrick, which should have been a bad sign to anyone, apparently is dedicating himself mostly to research to keep his wife alive. What's wrong with his wife? Hmm, we don't know...The two orderlies are rather scummy types, and there's lots of dirty deeds and body parts strewn everywhere as they assist the doctor in his research.Of course, one young woman figures out something is NOT RIGHT, and tries to fight back & call for help, but of course, she's overpowered, and so is the sheriff's deputy that comes to call.Nearly-abandoned hospitals have rarely been so lacking in creepiness as this one is, and while this story has plenty of blood, guts, and general nastiness, it has absolutely ZERO atmosphere at all, and is pretty well "paint by the numbers" stuff. It has a lot of the makings of a decent film, but they just lie there, not doing much. Gore does not a great movie make. It needs some brains (that is, intelligence, not more strewn organs) to go along with it, and this doesn't have it. A waste. 2 out of 10.
