“Game of Thrones’” Kit Harrington and Adelaide Clemens as Vincent and Heather.
-Art direction was absolutely gorgeous.
-The 3D effects effectively immersed the viewer, and displayed textures and various monsters in a non-hokey way.
-Special effects of things like monsters and the digitally rendered scenery was top notch.
The nurses were eerie and sexy at the same time.
Negatives:
-The script and dialogue were downright awful at points.
-The story got out of hand, and jumped from one major plot point to another too quickly.

A fun thrill ride fit to excite any video game or horror movie enthusiast. Just don’t expect Oscar-award winning acting.
