This is one of those horror movies that takes place in one area – a police station. The main action takes place inside, and really 60% of the movie is in the office/dispatch room. There are a couple other characters besides our protagonist, but honestly we don’t see them much. She has a mentor who hands the keys off to her and gives her a brief history of the place and how sad it is that it’s being decommissioned.
After this brief introduction things start to get truly weird and continue to get weird, until our mentor cop returns to check on our rookie cop protagonist.
I really like these types of films, they remind me so much of Stephen King Books (I’ve read some!) that take a seemingly normal situation and turn it up a notch. Worth a watch!
