Yeah, a disused lunatic asylum (or a building that can be dressed up as one) is surely easier to find. I think that a disused hospital, without the equipment and patients, wouldn’t be much more effective than any other disused vaguely-creepy-looking location.
This seems as though it’s trying to cross over between “normal” horror and medical thriller, in the style of Robin Cook or Tess Gerritsen; in those the horror is a subversion of authority, in that all (or at least a significant number) of the supposedly-trustworthy hospital staff are in on whatever the nefarious plot is, so being in their hands becomes scary in a new way.
