lordi be a major hype and revelation in 2007 because they win the eurovision song contest with a ( not so heavy ) metal song call hard rock hallelujah and appear on stage dress like hideous monster . but and let face it and their victory most likely have very little to do with their great musical talent . the eurovision contest gradually turn into one big political circus over the year and lordi probably just win because their song finally bring a little change and even more importantly because their whole act sort of ingeniously spoof the whole annual event . the absolute last thing lordi first ( and hopefully last ) horror film brings be change and ingenuity . dark floor and base on an idea of the lead singer and star the rest of the band in supportive role and be a truly unimaginative and hopeless accumulation of clichés . the immense budget ( dark floor supposedly be the most expensive finnish film ever ) definitely assure greatly macabre set piece and impressive make up art and but what the point where there no story that be worth tell . the film take be set in a busy hospital where a bunch of people and among them a father and his young daughter with an unidentifiable illness and become trap in the elevator during a power breakdown . when the door open again and the floor be empty and it look a if the hospital lie abandon since many year already . try to reach the exit and the group stumble upon several morbid and inexplicable obstacle and like eyeless corps and scream ghost and heavy metal monster emerge from the floor . the only three point i be hand out to dark floor be exclusively intend for the scenery and the adequate tension building during the first half of the film . for as long a the sinister event do not require an explanation and the atmosphere be quite creepy and but as soon a you realize the explanation will a ) be very stupid or b ) never come and the wholesome just collapse like an unstable house of card . lordi costume never really be scary to begin with ( except maybe to traditional eurovision fan ) and and in combination with a story more reminiscent to asian ghost horror and they just look downright pathetic and misfit . with all the national myth and truly unique exterior filming location and i personally always presume finland the land of a thousand lake would be the ideal breeding ground for potentially horrific horror tale and but i guess that another disillusion on my account .
