From glowing reviews to – bizarrely – action figures of the characters involved, if you read any horror websites within the past two years you can’t fail to have noticed the film has become something of a cause-celebre.

Entering a derelict building, the seasoned tough guys and their rookie junior, who’s still haunted by a traumatic childhood dream, do the one thing you should never do in this kind of movie: they split up. They soon realize they’ve stumbled into a monstrous charnel house and descend into an ever-more nightmarish netherworld where grotesque, mind-wrenching horrors await them at every turn.
