Needlestick (2017)
6/10
See one. Do one. Teach one.

Warning: Spoilers
The film takes place in a typical horror film hospital, one that is huge on the outside but has 3 patients and a small staff inside. I guess all the sick people have left Detroit. Evil mad scientist doctor played by Lance Henriksen is creating an immortality serum from stem cells from humans and not the jellyfish he rants about. Much of the film is dedicated to a soap opera drama between the returning Dr. Everett (Michael Traynor) no longer an intern and his hot ex-girlfriend Marie "sports bra" Blackwell. What made the story good were the one liners from the support cast such as Jordan Trovillion and Linda Boston. The problem was with the hack plot itself and a lack of scare and urgency, even with a crazy guy taking an ax to a door. WOW! Never saw that before. I didn't feel it. Lance's character was not well developed. You could do worse, just don't expect a horror hospital classic.

Guide: F-word (I caught 2). No sex or nudity.
