How good can a film be when mostly it entails a group of people walking around in a building which at times is semi-dark or dark dark? Better than you think. Ella is marrying a wealthy banker, but she is a tad suspicious about him, so recruits a shady friend to prise open his storage unit and read his secret diary. When they arrive at the depository she misreads the number, and instead of going to the third floor below ground they go to the lower basement where unsuspectingly they open the door to Hell. What appears to be a sub-human creature grabs and kills the unfortunate Molly, leaving Ella to flee to a higher level where she meets up with a corrupt detective, a morphine addict, an advertising executive, and a creepy guy she had met on the way down who is actually living in a unit having lost his job and been kicked out by his landlord.
What happens next is predictable but not so, there is a twist in the tale, and if it were not for the unhappy ending, it would earn a full 10 points. Of course, for some people an unhappy ending is really a happy ending, and vice versa.
