Rachel, a security guard who harbors a fear of the dark, is sent on assignment to secure an abandoned medical rehab clinic. It's a place with a supernatural history, where people have mysteriously disappeared. Alone and afraid, Rachel is tormented throughout the night by paranormal terrors, as she discovers the dead who reside here may be connected to buried secrets from her past. Written by Wild Eye Releasing
Directed by Mark Curran, Abandoned Dead is a pretty great suspense thriller. When first watched as a horror film, I would have rated this lower, but despite the name and couple of goryish scenes, it's more of an introspective look into the life of a security guard who is working an extra shift, and has to deal with some psychological mystery surrounding the place she is guarding.
There is some nice camera-work and lighting, some good acting, and everyone involved did a great job from cast to crew. Sarah Nicklin does a great job as the main character Rachel, who plays the security guard the movie focuses on. The atmosphere was great for what they were trying to accomplish with this film. I would definitely give this a watch if you are into suspenseful thrillers, and keep an eye out for more films from Mark Curran and team.
