Dark Floors

"Everything's falling apart."

I've never heard of Lordi, and I don't know about their 12-movie story arc. But this film was very well crafted, with a very unexpected but surprisingly sufficient ending. A group of staff and patients at a hospital are caught in an elevator during a power short. When power returns and the doors open, something has changed. Floor by floor, as they make their way down, it just gets worse...

This isn't the usual meaning for the tag "descent into madness", but I have to reuse it here for the literal truth.

Dark Floors
2008, 87 minutes, directed by Pete Riski

This is in English, clearly intended for a wide audience.
