A pretty gruesome horror this – I have given it 3 stars.
The Incident is set in an insane asylum, always a good start for a horror film. For a new take on this old subject matter however, this particular film concentrates on the kitchen staff. In addition to working together in this rather hair-raising environment the unfortunate cooks also play…more
