If you woke up in the hospital after a car  accident put you in a coma, only to discover   the hospital is staffed by terrifying,  faceless demons: what would you do?   Sam is a Tech Entrepreneur with a loving and  supporting wife, currently pregnant with their   first-born child. His workaholic habits cause  him to wind up on the receiving end of a drunk   driver’s pick-up truck. However, what awaits him  in the hospital is far worse of a nightmare.   I’m going to break down the mistakes  made, what you should do, and how to   beat the faceless hospital staff in Disquiet. We start out following Sam, a loving father and   husband who gets himself into a nasty car crash.  We’re not given much info yet at this point,   but we can see from how he’s being carried into  the hospital, he probably suffered some pretty   serious injuries, as well as a concussion. He’s probably going to need some serious medical   attention, but judging by how he’s still  pretty much all there and conscious,   I’d say his odds are about fifty-fifty. We cut  to black as Sam is wheeled into the OR.   Sam wakes up in the hospital from a  coma. He pulls out his breathing tube,   which I’d generally say is a terrible idea,  and is immediately treated to some 28 Days   Later sh*t, with a seemingly empty hospital.  He’s clearly suffered a head injury.   Before he can even think of his next move,  the old patient next to him suddenly attacks   him and tries to choke him out. Nice.  Welcome back to the land of the living:   here’s budget-Saruman in a violent, demented  fit of rage as your welcome-gift. Seriously,   either they knowingly left an old geezer with  violent tendencies next to your comatose body   the entire time, or something’s off here. He manages to push him off just before it looks   like he’ll be going night-night from the choking,  and gives him the hospital-sanitized equivalent of   the toilet lid tank to the cranial. That’s what you get Saruman,   now go back to Isengard. Sam screams for help in the hallway,   and somehow there’s like… zero medical staff  around, nor anyone responding to what is a   SUPER LOUD altercation between two patients in  what I suppose is the ICU, meaning there should   certainly be people around. Saruman ambushes Sam like a hunter   from left 4 dead After pinning him down,   and Sam miraculously not needing a teammate  to get the hunter off he fights him off   using everything near him, as you should. But Saruman’s been here a while, and he’s gotten   lonely - so he’s not taking no for an answer. Sam IS going to be his prison-wife,   like it or not. At the last second, just before his   backdoor suffers horrendous damage, he manages to  stick Saruman with the scalpel left conveniently   in front of him and immediately finishes his  kill, because Sam here watched a sh*t ton of   Nerd Explains and knows that by now he would  have received help if any was available.   Seriously though, wouldn’t it be SO awkward if a  whole security team and nurses show up just NOW?   After you brutally f*cking shanked this guy to  death with a scalpel? Oh well, at least there’s   cameras so you can argue it was self defense. Maybe minus the part where you repeatedly scream   “DIE DIE” though, just a thought. He screams for help and it definitely gives   off a weird vibe. I’ve been in hospitals at  pretty much every possible time of the day,   and I can guarantee you they would never,  not ONCE, leave you alone like this.   But if you really want to be sure, now’s  when you haul a*s back to your hospital bed,   and use the big button to page the nurses. If THEN nobody shows up, yeah.. Well.. that’s   probably where I’d be getting  my 28 Days Later on, too.   There’s no signs of struggle in the hospital,  nothing that really suggests anything could   be THIS wrong, but that shouldn’t be the  biggest sign of comfort either. What if   something awful did happen, but the majority of  people managed to evacuate? Sam could have just   been left due to the fact he was in a coma,  a la Rick Grimes, for all we know.   Where is the corpse though? Maybe my  memory’s off, but I’m pretty sure you   left a perfectly good and dead wizard laying  right there in the corridor. Even weirder,   the scalpel and other medical instruments are  back where they previously were, but there IS   a pool of blood on the floor. He walks past another hospital room and sees   the old man there, seemingly still in  a coma with his throat UN-SLASHED.   Yeah excuse me nurse, do you happen to know where  MY old wizard guy is? Yeah, it looks kinda like   the one you got here, except mine has several  deep stab wounds in it. Thank you.   He checks his phone, and of course  there’s no service. I don’t know,   at this point I’d feel confused as sh*t. Maybe the head injury is making us see sh*t, but   then why would we be covered in blood? Also the old man has been re-intubated?   There’s no way, even if he survived,  that he did that all to himself.   There’s definitely some f*ckery afoot. He keeps his eyes on Saruman the whole time while   he gets changed - sh*t dude, I would too. It's too early to call supernatural evil,   but this would definitely feel like a setup. He finally runs into some actual assistance   and great… It's one single, lone nurse. I  sure as f*ck hope you guys don’t ever get   medical emergencies in this ICU, seems  you’re a tad understaffed.   Okay.. f*ck this. Either we’re seriously  losing it, or something’s up.   See, the problem I'd have in this  situation is that I’d trust my   own instincts far too hard, which makes  sense considering what I do for work.   This would either save me if I’m right, or  end really, really badly if I’m just slashing   up people due to hallucinations caused by a  head-injury - but I’d take my chances here.   This would be far too vivid a  hallucination to “just happen”.   What about the blood on his gown? I’d show that to  nurse Betty here and ask her to explain that. It   WAS initially still there when Saruman teleported  back to his bed, it only stands to reason it   would still be there moments later. Before he can realize the old man’s gone,   the nurse is too. Right about NOW, is when I   would seriously start questioning if I’m losing  my grip on reality, or if we’re just about to be   in some deep, deep sh*t. “No f*cking way”, yup,   that sounds about right. He bolts down towards the elevator,   trying to keep it together. For f*cks sake man, don’t turn your   back to exposed and empty hallway. Take a couple of steps back in case   Saruman’s in the elevator, but enough that  you can quickly jump in if he’s not.   Resting your head against it is just asking to  be grabbed by someone from the elevator, or to be   attacked from behind - or both. Like that… Saruman sprints towards him. As is   usual, he makes it behind closed elevator doors  with seconds to spare. How lucky, and totally   not unlikely to happen in real life. He falls back-first into the elevator, which   luckily for him, wasn’t used to ambush him. Except it stops… Oh no.   One of the ceiling-panes above him gets  knocked loose revealing Saruman is STILL   on his tail. Did we agree to date him and then  ghost him due to the coma or something?   Sam does the wise thing and grabs a  suitable weapon from nearby, but luckily,   Saruman leaves him alone… for now. We cut back to the accident and   Sam’s looking rough. From the first responders,   we understand the other driver has died in the  crash, and that he was intoxicated. We haven’t   been given much to go off, but it is possible our  protagonist is an awful person that’s done awful   things, causing someone to be out for his life. There definitely seems to be some symbolic   implication with two first-responders  talking to him from two different   windows:one a cop, one a paramedic. Now, everything we’ve experienced so   far is straight up movie-level sh*t. Let’s be real: in real life, the character   has seen so many movies throughout his life,  maybe even some Nerd explains, and he’s WELL   aware something is off and it currently looks  like something supernatural is messing with him.   Especially, judging by how Saruman was f*cking  clawing his way into the elevator, from the shaft,   with seemingly superhuman strength. We cut to our second protagonist, Monica,   getting ready for some.. Uhm.. cosmetic  surgery, saying “anything to look beautiful.”   and something tells me, if this is the same  hospital, you’re in for a bad f*cking time.   See, Monica is all about altering her  appearance in any way she wants.   She proudly tells her surgeon there’s only one  thing left after she gets her chest done.   The surgeon creepily says “Oh I’ma make you  more beautiful” like that isn’t the weirdest   thing ever to say, in that tone especially, to  someone who you’re about to put to sleep. As   we’ll find out later though, this guy has a lot  of .. notches on his belt, is all I’ll say.   They put her to sleep for the procedure,  as is normal, except… she suddenly sees   that the medical staff that was treating her  just moments ago are now faceless monsters,   moments before she loses consciousness. She wakes up, with nothing really having   changed around her, the medical staff all  vanished similar to Sam’s case. She removes   the mask they used to put her to sleep, before  sh*t goes from 0 to 60 real fast.   Before she can think about anything,  she’s suddenly grabbed and held down   on all sides by what appears to be.. Horrifically scarred cosmetic surgery patients,   only something’s really, really wrong with  them. They kind of look like Zombies.   Sam hears her screaming down the hallway and  decides to hop back up from PTSD-land to help   her. As he strolls in and tells everyone to  reach for the sky, the patients who were about   to play a game of real-life surgeon with Monica  don’t seem all that impressed.   Bimbo number one calls his bluff and pretty much  makes him her b*tch instantly with the scalpel,   only to immediately stop giving a d*mn about  protecting her face half a millisecond later.   Yeah dude, we saw how seriously  they took your first threat.   Let’s face it: you’re clearly not  that guy, and they know it.   Monica tries to hide in a corner, lending  some credibility to the myths around   botox leaking into your brain, before Sam  tells her to run. Can’t say I disagree.   Theoretically, the play here is just to break  contact as fast as possible, run to a better,   more easily fortifiable room and barricade it  for now, at least to get our bearings straight,   swap stories of how we both ended up here, and  try to work out where to go from there.   Sure the first bimbo went down easily,  but something should be telling you by now   that it’s likely something similar to your  very own Saruman experience, and that they   will just keep coming no matter what you do. A barricade may therefore also not do sh*t, but   it’s worth a try at least and sure as hell beats  fighting yourself to exhaustion repeatedly versus   adversaries that clearly don’t back down. Sam seems to have some kind of telepathic   connection with me, as this is exactly what  they do, after some obligatory sh*ttalk, even   barricading the door to the room they were just in  to slow their attackers. This guy is definitely a   Nerd Explains Subscriber. 10/10. Except… he then stares at them through the   barricaded door and immediately makes  me question his intelligence again. Run,   you f*cking idiot. Sam rightly calls out that Monica   is the first real person he’s seen. Now we know that, but he would still   be totally right if he felt skeptical. After all, there’s some mind-f*ckery at   play here, but given that she was also  a victim, I do think she is in fact,   another person trapped in here just like Sam. They try to talk for a second and figure out   what’s actually going on. Now, in general  I agree with doing this, but like I said,   Sam: you KNOW these things are going to keep  coming. I’d have this discussion while making   our way to the nearest emergency exit, or one of  those floorplans explaining where you are in the   Hospital, to see if there’s a way out of here. They figure out they both went into surgery of   some kind and were put to sleep, before  awakening here, so what could it be?   I’m guessing, assuming we’re Sam, we’re  aware of common horror movie themes.   I’m therefore going with one of three options: -Some SAW-type sh*t wherein someone ,with   an axe to grind with us, wants us dead -Someone has kidnapped us for some kind   of experiment - Human or the Alien variety. -We’re in some kind of hospital hell-purgatory   level and we’re already Dead. Sam tells Monica that they’re not exactly alone,   basically explaining that it’s them against  well.. Something very, very OP. Monica wants   to get to the elevator, and Sam gets a “little  too” aggressive in pointing out it’s a bad idea   because Saruman will attack them. Here’s a crazy idea: if you’re already   stopping to talk all this sh*t out, maybe just  tell her exactly the details of your altercation,   including that Saruman resurrected from the dead,  teleported, AND that he had The Mountain’s muscle,   and that he was literally ripping off ceiling  panels with his bare hands in the elevator? I   know it’s likely going to freak her the f*ck out,  but what do you stand to gain by not laying bare   the full scope of what we’re up against? If you don’t give her ALL the info, she’s   useless to you because she’s underprepared for  Saruman reviving if you have to fight him again,   which is HIGHLY likely my dude. Giving her nothing more than “trust   me bro, we gotta keep moving” they  agree to GTFO some other way.   Presuming that this hospital functions like  any other, I’d suggest the Security office.   Not only is there some chance of finding useful  items there, maybe even some non-lethal weaponry,   but there should likely be plans and  information about the facility there.   Maybe even some way to contact  the outside world.   In any case, finding something to arm up  with should be a PRIORITY at this point.   The one thing that’s certain more than anything  else right now, that you can be d*mn sure about,   is that you’re going to be fighting Saruman  and the Bimbos at least one more time.   The fact that you’re strolling through the hallway  without any problem means you’ve kept them at bay   successfully for a moment, something which  you WILL regret not appreciating more.   Use that time to grab literally anything,  even if it’s just a f*ckload of scalpels to   use as throwing knives and/or shanks from the  Nurses’ station. Literally anything. Ideally,   you’d be able to manufacture some ranged weapons  from some of the scalpels, as range = safety.   They check the phones and  of course those are dead,   but they do immediately check the floorplan to  figure out the best way out of this mess.   Now THAT is an accurately written character right  there, and pretty much exactly where my mind   would be now, too. However, Sam points out that  Saruman basically teleported, came back to life,   hooked himself up/off machines, basically  telling her about his superpowers like I   initially suggested. Knowing the threat at hand  is SO underrated, so better late than never.   When we see the floorplan we notice that there’s  9 floors. Sam and Monica are currently on the 7th   floor, with Roof Access being just 2 floors  above them. This presents us with a choice.   We can try going to the roof, since we are  relatively close, and see if we can flag anybody   down. However, before that, to avoid wasting time  just in case, I would look out the windows.   I’m not sure what we’d see, but it’s likely  that it might at the very least clue us in.   At the very least, this would allow us to get  an accurate reading for the situation, based on   what we can see around the Hospital. If it looks  like the parking lot of the mall in the Dawn of   the Deadthen we know what’s up. If however there  are people walking around down there, we can ask   them to call 911 and get us the f*ck out of here,  though I somewhat doubt that’ll be the case.   The alternative is making it down to the lobby and  trying to get out through the main entrance. With   some luck, there will be other employees there  or maybe a Security Guard who can help us out,   but again, we still have no clue what  we’re actually up against.   Monica basically tells Sam she’ll do anything with  him if he gets her out of this but our Chad here   is loyal to his wife and kids. It’s good to know she’s got   the will to live though. They hear another voice calling out,   and Sam goes to “check it out”. Monica actually tries to stop him.   I’m loving this chick already, she clearly  knows that she’s in a horror movie and knows   the horror movie cliches. We meet our next character,   Carter. He woke up handcuffed to his  hospital bed, saying he’d been shot   and brought in before waking up like this. So that is now THREE people that have gone into   the hospital normally, gone under for Surgery, and  woken up in here. Considering it really feels (and   sounds) like these people are “spawning” into the  hospital, I’m guessing this is some supernatural   purgatory sh*t, where if we die in here, we die  in real life. That also implies if we “beat”   whatever the task at hand is, we probably make it  back to the land of the living. I’d still need a   little bit more convincing, but it does truly  sound like that’s what’s happening here.   Great, now all we need to do is  figure out what that task is.   From movies to folklore to religious texts,  one thing we know about spirits lingering is:   they usually don’t understand or  cannot accept what’s happened to them,   OR they have some kind of unfinished business. It could be that Carter got shot for something   he didn’t do, and doesn’t understand why he  died, that Sam went into a coma after his   accident and died, and that Monica died due to  some complications with her cosmetic surgical   procedure that was totally unexpected. This implies we’re in some Sixth Sense Bruce   Willis type sh*t, meaning we either  need to resolve each character’s   unfinished business or make them realize  they’ve died to help them move on.   Monica doesn’t like the idea of teaming up,  thinking Carter’s a criminal. In general, if   for whatever reason, someone is shot by the police  and brought to a hospital for medical treatment,   cuffing them might just be a procedure  they follow. It could also be negligence,   as the flashback does make it seem like  Carter got dropped by a cop for no reason.   Honestly, it doesn’t even matter. What’s  worse? A random guy who may or may not have   robbed a grocery store, or freaking undead  supernatural bimbos and a coma patient who   is literally invincible. I’d say the more people  we have in our team, the better, even if for the   sole purpose of having more bodies to sacrifice to  make a quick getaway, should we get cornered.   I’m really glad they all armed up immediately  though, even if I personally think there should   have been a bit more long-range/close-range  variety in their team, like I mentioned a   moment ago. Going knife-fighting with scalpels,  versus undead opponents who cannot die seems   like a lose-lose-lose situation all around.  At least something with a bit more range,   or even a PEASANT SPEAR made from scalpels  and any nearby broom in a supply closet might   be an infinitely better idea here. Yeah, nah dude, something tells me PLENTY of   killing is about to go down, it just might  not be you three DOING the killing.   And there you have it. For whatever reasons, even  though Sam stressed earlier that elevators are bad   ideas, they’ve gone there anyway instead of taking  the stairs. Come to think of it, why is Sam making   the decisions when he is literally the only one  of you three that has literal brain damage due   to a head injury. No sh*t he’d guide you back to  the elevator in that case, he probably doesn’t   remember telling Monica literally 2 minutes  ago why that’s a seriously stupid idea.   In stereotypical fashion, they try to  press the elevator button a million times,   as if that’ll make it show up any faster,  just as the Bimbos do some weird a*s zombie   crawl-running towards them. They wisen up and decide to take the stairs,   fully aware that until they figure out who  the main character is, they don’t know who   the designated plot-armor recipient is. They lock the door into the stairwell just   in time, as Sam holds it, World War Z style and  tells the others to make a run downstairs.   I still think upstairs first is worth it,  it is significantly closer and you have no   idea what to expect on any lower level.  At least from the roof-top level you’ll   get a decent idea of what’s down there. Sure, sure, you’ll have to fight through the   bimbos once more, but now it’s 3 on 3. Besides,  if you take them on, near the roof-top entrance,   you can bait them into a murder hole,  significantly improving your odds of at   least seriously injuring/slowing them, long  enough to make a clean getaway downstairs.   Whatever, we’re going down first now, but not  before Sam again stares at the face of this woman,   who clearly wants to rip his throat out,  instead of immediately running downstairs.   He’s not even reinforcing  the door - RUN YOU MORON.   I mean I get the lady is drop-dead gorgeous  and all, even for an undead assassin,   but she’s NOT looking for a boyfriend  here - and like you said, you’re married.   So do your wife a favor and LIVE. As predicted, Sam falls behind the rest of   his group and gets cut off, getting jumpscared  by a random demonic claw hand grabbing him,   before HODOR appears out of nowhere and pins  him to a nearby wall by the throat. Because   he saw a fire at the bottom of the stairwell,  he tells the orderly that there’s a fire and   they need to get away, but he tells Sam that  Monica and Carter are NOT his friends.   After delivering this ominous line, Hodor’s  face morphs into another faceless demon,   like the medical staff did for Monica, before he’s  pimp slapped to the floor by a mysterious doctor   wielding a wrench, and Sam passes out. We get treated to the full story about what   happened to Sam. As it turns out he is  a workaholic entrepreneur who got hit   by a drunk driver. However, he was also on  his phone at the time, texting & driving,   which is dumb for obvious reasons as well. The mysterious doctor and a strange character   in a wheel-chair discuss Sam’s fate next to his  unconscious body, with the doctor wanting to “take   Sam downstairs” because he’s a selfish workaholic,  which the man counters by saying he was hit by a   drunk driver, which wasn’t his fault, and that  he should at least be allowed to decide.   Right, so I’m definitely calling number 3:  purgatory. Only it’s not that we’re already   dead and need to right some wrongs, we need  to find our way out of this hospital to regain   consciousness in the real world. I’m guessing  from this information it means that if we go   downstairs and exit via the lobby, we will  “move on” and be dead for good instead.   I’m not quite sure why this also comes with  vicious attacks by demons though. Surely,   if this is about understanding your sins,  atoning for them, and deciding (aka “fighting")   whether you want to live or die, this would  be the main challenge in itself right?   What happens when a genuinely innocent person  appears there and these demons slash them   to pieces? This just seems so random  all around, especially since they just   help out Sam right here as well, where you’d  think with him unconscious it would be VERY   easy to just finish him off right there. Same wakes up, once again treated for his wounds.   The mysterious doctor even threw in some Oxy for  his troubles. I’m not sure I’d take those though,   Sam. I think the last thing you need right now  is to be h*gh off your a*s on painkillers, though   I can definitely understand not wanting to face  this bullsh*t entirely sober either: it is still   the way to maximize our odds here for sure. As he gets dressed and mentally prepares himself   for round two, he realizes the good Lord  above even left him a heavy a*s wrench for   maximum DPS. +5 Holy damage on-hit. He even pockets a secondary: good boy. I   gotta say, I like these protagonists a lot more  than the usual kind we get to work with.   Sam is suddenly held at gunpoint and  drops his wrench. It’s the cop who we   saw shooting Carter earlier, Frank,  asking him if he’s “one of them”.   This case is getting weirder and weirder, as this  also implies that somehow, this cop ended up in a   life-threatening situation in the hospital. Sam  tells Frank there’s some kind of fire, but as   Frank rightfully points out: this is the kind of  thing you’d know immediately if you looked out the   window. We don’t get a good view of what Sam sees,  but it’s just pure darkness, is the point.   We cut back to Frank’s incident. We don’t really  get an idea of whether or not he got injured,   similar to the other characters, but we do see  that Carter was in fact innocent, and our hero   in Blue literally held the wrong people  at gunpoint while the cashier AND Carter   pointed out it was the OTHER guy, an aisle  over, that was holding up the place.   Kudos for the cashier for  clueing Frank in, though.   Sam jumps to the conclusion it could be  terrorists, and that the hospital runs on   generators, which would explain why the outside  is pitch black. Now, fine, I could understand   that to some extent, but dude: you literally saw  demons with no face, undead bimbos with surgical   scars ALL over them AND you heard a similar story  THREE times now that suggests you guys all had   some sort of death-like experience. At this point you’re just feeding the   stereotype that spirits cannot accept their  death, because this definitely sounds like   something supernatural to me. Frank Houdini’s out of there, which   immediately puts Sam on high alert: as it should.  He picks up his wrench and walks into the hallway,   LOUDLY announcing his position, and even  completely turning his back on an empty   hallway to pop more Oxy for his pain. Your wife and kid NEED you to put your   tech entrepreneur IQ to use here, Sam. Sam hears the man from earlier, in the wheelchair,   who introduces himself as Virgil. He tells Sam  he’s not going anywhere, and that he’s real.   Talking to Virgil for a minute, it’s more than  clear that he knows exactly what’s up here,   as he’s not surprised by anything Sam tells him  and seems more than fine with holding his own.   Not to mention, he tells Sam that the doctor  from earlier wanted to take him downstairs and   that he “would not LET her” implying he  has an immense amount of power here.   The biggest missed opportunity in the movie, as  you’ll find out, is not asking Virgil as many   questions as humanly possible here. I’m talking  in full toddler mode. “WHY, WHY, WHY, etc” til   Virgil f*cking explodes. If he knows anything  about this place, I’d want to know it, too.   He clearly wants Sam to go up to the roof,  suggesting he may get cell reception there.   I know I said earlier that this would make  sense, but if he sees nothing but pitchblack   dark through the windows, and nobody’s getting  cell reception inside the building itself, I doubt   that’s the reason Virgil wants us to go up.
