Movie Review: Level 16 (2018)

Vivien (Katie Douglas) and her pals at Vestalis Academy are meant to be clean, obedient, humble, and patient (or fucking else…a punishing experience our heroine experienced back on Level 10) as they progress toward their ultimate goal of adoption into a picture perfect home.

Ex-cop and (sorta) reformed alcoholic Megan (Shay Mitchell) just took a job handling morgue intakes at Boston Metro Hospital…and although she would assume that most folks check in but they don’t check out, she has yet to meet the corpse of one Hannah Grace (Kirby Johnson) who found herself on the losing end of one those demonic possession/exorcism deals that we all know and love in our beloved horror biz. Speaking of Hannah, our femme fatale doesn’t stay lying down for long, and soon she’s a-herkin’ and a-jerkin’ around that morgue killing folks to heal her wounds, and Megan will be lucky if she sees the dawn!
