Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

There is a lot this film has going for it; it looks great, the setting is really creepy and it uses some good techniques to makes some of the situations the characters go through legitimately terrifying.This is also where it falls down however as while the situations are clever and put you in the place of the character to where you wonder what you would do, you never really care about the characters themselves. We know next to nothing about them and they don't really stand out, so while we can replace ourselves with them in these scary situations, you could also replace them with any other character and it wouldn't make a difference. What's more it never really feels like there is much at stake, also it starts off by being really precise about what the people are there to do and how much time they have to do it in and then most of this is forgotten.Overall this film could have been really good with a little more depth to the writing and a little more time spent getting to know the characters, but it is still worth a watch for the situations and setting alone.

Wow I never heard of this movie so I was pleasantly surprised. It's in German I think with English Subtitles, the script was fine not great but not cheesy. The Camera and directing was superb. I'll be going to see if part 1 was what this movie failed to pull off. I mean it was the best set up for a scary movie I think so far i've seen this year in 2016 and this movie released in 2015. I mean it showed so many different elements of the horror in this movie and it was shown very early in the movie. animals, kids,old people not to give too much away I was very impressed and pretty creeped out for the first half of the movie and it was a pretty long movie just under 2hrs & 15 minutes not saying I have a short attention span but I think it was a little drawn out and I thinking the end it just didn't add up enough and a lot of the characters purposes were not explained enough to give the movie good characterization which kind of spoiled the scary Ness at the end but I guess it was worth the watch didn't really surprise me at all so it definitely could of and should of been better. The cast was good actors and the women were attractive so I guess that helped. For a scary movie with subtitles I would recommend this and give a 6 out of 10 .. Creepy but don't over think it.

Ever since the appearance of mobile phones, horror-movie writers have had the headache of trying to neutralize the phone as a source of obvious and easy help for people threatened by psychopaths, demons or zombies. The by now pretty laughable "I have no signal" cop-out plot-device is the one most commonly used, so I will give this movie credit for at least trying something else, a new way to solve the fairly unsolvable phone dilemma.However, that "something else" is even dumber than not having a signal for no reason: it's UNWILLINGNESS to call for help! Yes, my dear readers (all five of you), the movie's sanitary team has opportunities – time and time again – to call the cops, yet they don't. The first time, it's Frank refusing to "endanger the business" by calling the cops. "How are we going to get any work done with cops crawling all over the place?" he says moronically, baffling every sane and/or intelligent viewer. But it's not really fictional Frank's fault; it's the writer who underwent a cheap lobotomy, probably performed by the same Nazi surgeons from this movie, before he undertook the – for his lobotomized self - impossible task of writing an intelligent, original script.But silly me. Why do I automatically assume that there was any intention to create something intelligent, let alone original? V2 is a collection of abandoned-building clichés we've all seen before, many times – and done much better than in this fairly lame Norwegian flick. Take any "old sanitarium in ruins" movie and in all likelihood it has all the same shticks as this one: abandoned gloomy rooms, mysterious basements, bizarre drawings on walls, little mutant children running through corridors, illegal human experiments, and other never-before-seen clichés.Going back to the infamous mobile phones, the second chance that presents itself to call the cops results in yet another mystifyingly dumb decision not to. This time it's the blond boss who decides that calling the police when faced with intruders and weird, illegal goings-on in a huge abandoned building is not a good idea. Third occasion? She leaves a worker behind – all alone – and tells him to call the cops only if she doesn't come back in 20 minutes. Predictably, he is the next in line to get axed by the bad guys. Literally every horror-film fan (even the most gullible ones with Alzheimer's) can predict that that phone-call simply wasn't going to ever happen, much less after those 20 minutes were up. The entire movie is predictable.Now, why would the boss of a CLEANING company want to "test the waters", and play detective rather than leave that to professionals? Because, somehow, the company she works for will crumble if she calls the cops: a logic all of its own, existing in a separate world from ours. To cut a long story a little shorter, we've got a team of utter imbeciles here. They get a plethora of hints that something extremely vile is going on, yet they continue. "Yeah, I mean sure, there are some kind of insane homeless serial killers lurking about, but let's try to finish our job here first, and THEN worry about them. Who knows, they might even not kill us all by the time we finish in 3 days." That's what this nonsense amounts to. And that's the main reason the film is idiotic. Suffice it to say, they find a half-dead man hanging on a ceiling – yet refuse to call the authorities for assistance. I was half-expecting them to get attacked by flying vampires and then say "no, flying vampires is really no reason to bother the police for".There are so many stupid decisions made by these moronic characters, and unrealistic moments. At one point there are three of them huddled in the building – knowing full-well by that point they're in extreme danger – yet what is their course of action? Do they perhaps LEAVE the building, as any sensible person would? Not really. In fact, the blonde female boss decides to leave her wounded, shocked, bewildered, totally helpless female worker alone while she chases the fat blond guy – who quite sensibly decided to make a run for it (and then predictably got punished for his "cowardice" but getting his ass whooped). Predictably, the abandoned female worker gets snatched by one of the building's numerous medically-trained zombies. The tendency for a group of in-danger humans to split up in individual campaigns in a maze-like object, rather than stay together, is one of the most annoying and least convincing horror-flick clichés of all times. I wish they'd finally write a script without that crap. But that's like expecting Sean Penn to win a Nobel Prize in Physics.

The 10 first minutes of the film, I just smiled. I all built up for good expectations, and I thought... wow... this one may be really good. But in the end, I was disappointed. A pretty straightforward horror-film, but unfortunately too much focus on deep, dark and eerie sound effects (Stormdrum2?)and a few good looking visuals that could not bear up the whole movie. Some camera visuals and angles of the old sanitarium was really nice, but after having seen those camera angles repeat a couple of times, without much of a good story, it became more and more obvious that the film builds around sound effects, and a few visual impressions. The story itself felt a bit too weak. The constant running and stumbling through watery tunnels and dark corridors becomes boring already 30% into the film. And it felt like the rest of the film was more or less the same thing. I waited all the time for a good story to unfold, but never really got that feeling. Film characteristics, compared to other horror films: Blairwitch project - running wildly in the dark. Alien - people equipped in environmental protections suits wandering dark corridors. The Shining - an old sanitarium looking very much like that big eerie hotel.About the actors: They did an OK job, but couldn't save the film and the thin story as a whole from a low grade.Summary: Would I recommend this as being an OK horror film to watch if you have nothing better to do? Not really.
