The film opens with a nurse (Eliza Taylor) in a creepy building getting a needle to her eye. During the opening credits we discover a nurse is missing. The headlines also tell us Dr. Roget (Charles Dance) is genius and a "Dr. Frankenstein" when it comes to treating comas. He has a clinic in said creepy building. Kathy (Sharni Vinson) is the replacement nurse. She works for Cassidy (Rachel Griffiths) the stereotypical stern matron who is also Roget's daughter. She also works with Nurse Williams (Peta Sergeant) who likes her vices. Rumor is Cassidy's husband killed himself to get away from her. She tells Kathy her "pay is minimal, hours abdominal, and termination without notice."

There are about a dozen patients with involuntary spitter Patrick (Jackson Gallagher) being a special case. Kathy takes an interest in Patrick as it appears he is not really comatose. However, he only responds to Kathy, a woman who has issues. It appears Patrick is taking over her life.

This is a good little Australian horror/thriller. It is not really a mystery, but has mystery elements. Horror aspect smartly builds with the standard opening teaser.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Sharni Vinson, Simone Buchanan)

While the movie takes its name of one of the characters (not just anyone of course),I decided to take the normal name of the main actress. She has a tough job, trying to sell horror, but also being oblivious to stuff taking place around her. She delivers, even at times when the viewer might want to scream at her or other characters for not seeing the obvious.

The scare moments (jump scares or others) are pretty decent. While I haven't seen the original though, what I'm hearing, is that this one is superior to it. I can only comment on this one and while not perfect by a long shot, this does more than a decent job selling the horror. Twists and turns included ...

I never saw the original one so I can only review this one without comparison. I see that the first one gets much more stars so I might watch that one as well in the future because I already liked this remake. The whole movie was not boring at all like many other horror movies. Instead I thought the storyline was well intriguing and it keeps the audience interested during the whole movie. All the actors were fine to me, nobody bothered me at all. Charles Dances as doctor Roget gave a good performance as usual. The music and sound was perfect for the suspense. Definitely a good horror/thriller to watch on a cold dark evening.
