THE FIFTH FLOOR is a lower budgeted movie very obviously indebted to the success of the all-time classic ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST, and inevitably it's a far lesser movie. But that doesn't mean that it's not watchable, and I found myself getting into it in a fair way as I watched. This one's a female-led production in which a woman is drugged and ends up in an institute from which she can't escape. The cast is particularly good, with an ultra-sleazy Bo Hopkins supplying the menace and the likes of an endearing Robert Englund playing in support. The main actress inhabits the role well and there are no slow parts.
