Remember how, a million years ago, in the first episode of The Walking Dead, Rick Grimes wakes up in the hospital and it’s clear something is very, very wrong? Remember when Buffy had a very bad hospital episode of which we generally prefer not to speak? Put those things in a blender and you might wind up with something like the trailer for Disquiet, a horror film starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones) and poor lighting.

Paramount’s description says only, “Jonathan Rhys Meyers stars in the terrifying, edge-of-your-seat thriller. After a near-fatal car accident, Sam (Meyers) wakes to discover he is trapped in an abandoned hospital by mysterious and sinister forces that have no intention of letting him leave…”
Those mysterious and sinister forces appear to include some folks without facial features and a pair of blondes wearing only bandages. There’s no way out, and people rely entirely too much on slow-moving elevators.
Disquiet is written and directed by Michael Winnick, whose previous films include Malicious, Shadow Puppets, and something called Guns, Girls and Gambling. According to Collider, who debuted the trailer, the rest of the cast includes Riverdale’s Lochlyn Munro (Betty Cooper’s creepy dad); Reginald the Vampire‘s Rachelle Goulding; and Elyse Levesque (Orphan Black, The Originals). Oddly, at the time of this writing, the movie doesn’t seem to exist on IMDb.
Disquiet is available on digital, on demand, and in select theaters on February 10th.
