User Reviews

over-hyped
19 January 2015 | by trashgangSee all my reviews

Remember Lordi, the band that won the Eurovision song festival way back in time. When they were hot with their monster look (GWAR anyone) they were a bit over-hyped. If you just listen to their music it didn't sound to be honest really hard like a metal band should do. But still controversy aroused when they won the festival and to cash in on that a flick was made. Don't expect that they are really acting. They are just doing what they can do best, hiding after their masks.

I didn't like their movie to be honest, there was too much of CGI used for the effects and the story isn't really ground breaking, it even reminded me a bit of Silent Hill (2006). No gore, a thing I thought I was going to see with a metal band involved, or even nudity to see here in Dark Floors.

Back then people wanted to see this flick, I waited for years to see what the fuss was all about. Much to do about, sigh, nothing.

Gore 0/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 2/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0/5
