Okay, so the film immediately throws you into this incredibly unsettling atmosphere – all squelching sounds and a really intense first embalming scene. We meet Rebecca, the new assistant, and she seems… surprisingly good at her job, but then things get weird. The lights start flickering, she briefly zones out, and her boss, Dr. Delver, quickly puts a stop to her heading down to the basement – which, naturally, is off-limits. He’s okay with her working solo, but only during daylight hours. That immediately screamed ‘danger’ to me, and set a really creepy tone. It’s clear something’s lurking down there, and he’s desperate to keep her away from it at night.
