Neat wee film

This is a nice, low-budget, interesting little movie. Great to see a film with one of the main writers as a lead (funny-man Raybon Kan, who is as good-a comedian as he is a movie star). Suze Tye was my favorite though, creepy & beautiful at the same time, I thoroughly enjoyed her character and the way she portrayed Nurse Bates

Comparable to Shaun of the Dead, (which also features a great writer/actor; Simon Pegg) but on a smaller scale, with very much the same RomCom Horror spirit (not so much horror, but enough to remove any chick-flick stigma :)

I'd expect short-sighted mainstream movie-buffs to quickly denounce and criticize this film, so 'skip this one' if you're too narrow-minded to appreciate the simple things in life

Go NZ movies!!

Really Good actually.

Don't listen to what everyone else says this film is actually really good. Firstly everyone get over the fact that Flight OF The Conchords aren't actually in it that much. Bret has quite a big role, say the 4th biggest in the film. Rhys is in 2 scenes and Jemaine is only in it for about 2 minutes. After you realise this you can sit back and watch this movie with an open mind. The plot is rather solid and good and the acting is done in a way which is suspenseful and comedic. Overall really enjoyed it.

8/10 Most will enjoy.

:D

pretty awesome!!

A very well composed film; funny, scary and down right nonsense (in a good way). Good acting, great storyline, alright script. Very awesome film will definitely watch this again :) shame the flight of the chonchords trio weren't in it more though, the writer of the film missed a trick there unfortunately. But, a great light hearted comedy horror :) kept me interested and on the edge of my seat throughout. Should definitely of been more of a detective type horror with the chonchords starring. that, now, would be amazing :) Not up there with the great films but nowhere near the bottom. A very good try, but could've been better.

Enjoyable light comedy/horror

Anyone watching this expecting a horror will be missing the point. This is a movie which includes in cameo roles the stars of Flight of the Conchords.

There's nothing serious about this movie, and the plot is very light; the reason to watch this movie is the characters, who though almost only two dimensional in depth, are very likable.

The tone/rhythm of the movie is a lot like Flight of the Conchords, as is it's subdued humor.

There really isn't much more to say about this movie.

I enjoyed quite a bit.

It's a light, enjoyable snack.

Skip this one.

There is Cancer, then an experimental drug trial. Then comes the nurse who seems evil. Hallucinations are blamed on the drugs. Two of the patients form kind of a bond to try and figure out what it is that's happening to them.

If this review sounds boring, that's because the movie was. So boring I couldn't even finish watching it. If this review was here before I watched the movie, It would have saved me an hour. So hopefully this will save you that time.

It's a bit silly to me that IMDb won't a low a nice succinct review. In order to express an opinion you have to write up a mini-biography of the movie. I do and do and do for you people, and this is the thanks I get!
