Michael O'Keefe Another "found footage" movie with a couple of scares in it. Really not all that bad; just a little irritating. But there will be a couple of scenes that get a rise out of you; meaning you'll jump or flinch. A group of amateurish paranormal seekers just for a thrill get more than they ask for. They return to the scene of Richard Speck's heinous slaying of eight young women. Trying to rouse the ghost of the killer, they taunt him by comparing his body count to that of serial killers Dahmer and Gacy. Speck or not...one angry spirit is angered and no member of the investigators is safe.Cast includes: Hayley Derryberry, Tony Besson, Jennifer Robyn Jacobs, Clarence Harlem Jr., Mike Holley and Jackie Moore. Plus the voices of Steve Bencich and Nancy Leopardi.

airsnob Read the reviews, and while this isn't the best movie, I think the cast did well. As an actor, I think they did well with what they had. I've seen much , much worse acting. In bigger budget films. Is this movie scary? Yes. Is this movie entertaining? Yes. I think this is a good low budget horror movie, with a talented cast. Which is rare. Usually they have maybe two or three good actors, and the rest are painful in real inde movies. This just isn't the case here. Everyone was good. My biggest complaint here was that it didn't make sense at some key parts. First of all, OK, if this was ah real ghost hunting team, they would have been losing their minds with the first tap on the wall. They would have been in ghost chasing heaven , k? So this Ghost Hunting team, instead of attributing all of these obvious paranormal responses runs around going " weird." "That was a draft, guys!" " that's pipes. That happens. It's not possible for that to be a ghost, guys." "You don't know how many people are in prison for murder, that's all we are facing here " and that's after they saw the ghost and got their neck sliced by air! The other thing that bugged was after the first girl was attacked , they gave her a sleeping pill and yelled at her like she was a loser for getting attacked. OK, if this was a real ghost hunting team, they would have sent that girl home, right away and probably stopped the entire investigation. So having skeptics and slut shame-rs be the main protagonists sucked.. Ruined it for me. But there were some real frightening and creepy moments , esp at the end. I think if I didn't know as much about ghost hunting , this would have really scared me!!

DustinRahksi Asylum makes the worst film of all time, they rape film completely, yet they keeping producing crap and people watch. I wanted to cry because this film was so bad, the characters are borderline retarded( yeah I know people don't like that word, but it is the truth). The script was generic, the characters were cooker cutters, seen em before, see them again. Of course the film opens with a police evidence statement, haven't seen that before. Cameras set up all over the place, which never seem to have any importance latter on in the film, we rarely see them. So this is going to be one of those complaining reviews, and it will be a long one, I wrote a lot of stuff down. I will make reference to that Gacy house found footage film, which pretty is much identical to this film. It's also about a rapist ghost.The bad: I don't know if this Speck guy is real or not, and I don't know how he managed to kidnap 8 people at once. So this t.v. crew comes to a asylum, wow what a shocker, haven't seen that before. They are chasing a ghost, who raped women. So that means they bring as many women as possible with them. Did I mention these are the most cowardly ghost hunters ever, some of them don't even know how to work the equipment. And no that listening device they tried to pass off as paranormal equipment will not go over my head. I know for a fact that that device is used to spy on people, nothing else. So like jackasses they all split up, what could go wrong. Well Sarah!( in Jeff Goldblum voice) gets violently attacked and possible molested. And what does the crew do about it, they stay and call her BS. If that wasn't sadistic enough to this poor girl, they give her sleeping pills, and leave her alone in a room. I bet nothing bad will happen to her there. Time passes, as Adam spies on a Jackie undressing for some man director reason. Adam gets dragged away up into the ceiling, and he is somehow ripped in half be a ghost. Come on, a terminator can't even do that. Well, everybody comes to check it out, while poor little SARAH! is forgotten about in a room. And would you guess she gets brutally raped and killed. I bet her parents were so proud of her role in this film. The rest of the movie was painfully forced down my throat with sheer stupidity. It's obvious the ghost won't attack them in a group, but they always send one person off by them selves to do something, and of course it bites them in the ass, and ultimately leads to their doom. There is even a point where they forget a character was dead in front of them, while people right beside them still think they are alive. 27 minutes in, is where they should have left the building, but no. It's the law of nature, if you are that dumb, maybe you deserve what you get. And with all this stuff going on around them, they still continue to film everything, wwhhhhyyyy? But the part the sealed the nail in the coffin was just plain messed up. It wasn't the fact that the ghost that was physically more powerful than the devil, it wasn't the stupid people. It was the necrophilia ghost. I knew as soon as that body was being dragged to the bed, what was going to happen. Say it with me, A necrophiliac rapist ghost that is stronger than the devil. Shame on the degenerate who created this. It's like the people who think they can hide from ghosts, it's just crazy nonsense.This is seriously one of thee absolute worst films in the last 15 years, it's a tired formula. The film plays by too many rules, and never even thinks of doing something different. It had chances for horrific moments, but instead played it safe. Please. for the sake of innocent SARAH!, stay away from this film, she suffered enough.

zzoaozz The whole found footage genre has really gotten predictable and boring. I don't know why I keep watching these... maybe I am just really bored. The premise is exactly the same as so many others. A paranormal research team goes into a haunted location and the ghosts turn violent and kill them all. This is not a spoiler. The typed header at the beginning of the movie tells you the group were never found. The atmosphere is exactly like almost every other film in this genre. It's set in a dilapidated institutional building, shot in a combination of black and white and night vision for the most part, and full of echoing bangs, knocks, and whispers.Like the others, the characters are flat and forgettable. You don't particularly care if any survive. The acting is not very good. The only difference between this and other movies in the genre is that the deaths are a little heavy handed and start right away. They also shot the film without any credits to make it feel more like found footage. Basically this movie is a waste of time like most others of its kind.
