1. Prologue. Why do you need this purely serial reception? Tribute to X-files? Cheap somehow turns out, as if the director is afraid to lose the viewer from the first seconds of the film.
2. A tie. Why would a new nurse be hired at a closing hospital? It would be more logical to second someone from another hospital. And the heroine of the film is a masochist? Does she like it when she gets laid off?
3. Administrative chaos. Are all hospitals so overcrowded that there is absolutely no room for even a handful of children, and it is absolutely necessary to leave them in an emergency building with the infamous curse, on an island difficult to transport? There is room for hundreds of patients, but not for these children.
4. Chekhov dialogues. The characters don't hear each other. At all. They don’t interact – they just say what the viewer should know and portray emotions. No contact, no dialogue. Or is it a translation? I doubt it.
5. An abandoned floor. First of all, it's a hospital. There are sick people and sometimes they die. No one would leave an entire floor because someone died badly. Second, welcome to Silent Hill, dear viewer. Web, dust, abandoned things... The filmmakers are not familiar with the word “conservation”. In fact, before closing the institution, from there usually take out all the equipment up to the furniture — ghosts there, or left beds, for greater comfort? Tableware on tables, patients' belongings, medical instruments - even dried-up drips! It is good that the skeletons of walled-up patients and nurses do not lie on the floor.
6. Monster. How can you mistake this for a little girl? This can be mistaken for Ozzy Osbourne with false breasts. And why is it blue and swollen? Before throwing herself into the elevator shaft, did she drown in her tears? And very interestingly, did the screenwriter test himself for the possibility of wearing orthopedic devices removed from a little girl? They are individually adjusted, if anything.
7. Who are all these people? Two fortune-teller ladies giving advice to the main character - they are in general, where? What is their status, why do they all turn to them, why the hell do they know so much about everything? State prophetesses of the city? Well, of course, they are in every English town, how I forgot. And what are the secrets in the past of the main character? Which the filmmakers prefer to forget in the end. What tragic actions and decisions a nurse may have in the past, she is not a surgeon after all. There are Chekhov dialogues, but Chekhov's guns do not shoot, there is a disorder.
The result of "cans, bottles, rusty tweezers ..." Waiter, take this away...
