A well made film, but pointless.
Patient Seven has great actors, a good score and interesting dialogue. It delivers seven horror short stories that are never boring.
Unfortunately the film makers never went through the trouble of connecting those stories, offering closure to each of the patients, or even giving us a proper ending.
Instead of reusing horror elements throughout the various plots, (same monsters, same crimes) they could have used the content to paint a bigger picture.
In all, an opportunity wasted.

I am migrating my reviews from a different site which has become simply garbage. TMDB looks awesome and I look forward to be a part of it.
