Writer Statement

Based upon - One of the Best edge of your seat Horror Games. I loved this Game when I was a Gamer, So, I thought it would make a better Movie Idea with a few changes making it more to do with the Paranormal than a Scientific STEM Machine as with the Game's Main Plot. As the Antagonist is a Vengeful Spirit, opens a Portal allowing Demons to lurk within the Hospital & uses the remaining Mental Patients to roam free to hunt down & stop the Detectives from preventing his plan of revenge. While the Protagonist is helped by a Guardian Spirit of a former Nurse guiding him on the previous events of the Hospital, the Church, dealings with the Occult, the Elk River Serial Killer & Doctor Jimenez's treatment of the Mental Patients. Leaving the door open for the Sequel.
