Berlinale, 2/9.

Todd Brown at Twitch on the Finnish horror film, Dark Floors: "Not a gore fest by any means - it would likely get a PG-13 rating in the US - the film is a tightly plotted, exceptionally well shot thrill ride that sets the rules of its world very early on, lets the audience know what to expect and then executes flawlessly."

For an overview of how the German press is taking to the festival offerings - in German, of course - see angelaufen.de (day by day) and film-zeit.de (film by film).

A reminder of the trades' special sections: The Hollywood Reporter, Screen Daily and Variety.

Cineuropa gets its coverage rolling.
