movieman_kev A group of five archaeologists close down the tourist prison island of Alcatraz while they research new findings recently dug up, this doesn't sit well with some of the guards who feel that this will put their upcoming raises on hold. However any animosity has to be put on the back burner as the found artifacts are in fact cursed *cue spooky music*This was a hard film to watch, not because it's so violent (if anything it's extremely boring), but rather because it's horribly filmed, atrociously acted and deathly dull. Writer/director Daniel Zirili is old hat at making supremely crappy films so that in and of itself isn't surprising that this film stinks, what is though is that this is one of the few movies where he uses the letter Z in the correct way.

lastliberal I had very low expectations for this film. After all, it was released in 2007 and it is already free on Hulu. How good can it be? Getting ready to open Alcatraz to tourists, they find a walled-in area and a skeleton, While investigating, Ranger Vince (William Van Noland) cuts his finger on the teeth. They bring in some grad students to investigate the body, and Vince is slowly getting sicker. Soon the murders begin.We manage to get an very quick eyeful of Florida native and Survivor participant Jessie Camacho, but it is a body double unfortunately. That's it for the thrills; the rest is chills.A little science and a little superstition, it was interesting to a point, but largely unfulfilling.

whpratt1 In 2006 I visited San Francisco and took the tour of Alcatraz and enjoyed seeing this film which had great photography of the buildings inside and outside.One of the guards on Alcatraz found an old relic in the lower sections of Alcatraz and called in the proper authorities to determine just what it is. This relic reveals itself to be an Indian from the 1800's and as the story advances, it reveals some very dark and dangerous secrets.In this film there is also women involved in the investigation and the men and women become very close.Not the best of films, but very entertaining. Enjoy

coryshpprd I thought it would be a typical monster flick, with a bunch of people stuck on The Rock and getting picked off, one-by-one. Turned out to be more thoughtful, suspenseful and interesting than I imagined, and the setting of Alcatraz made it all the more creepy.You have to pay attention to follow what's happening to these people, and who the killer or killers are. The history about the island is pretty interesting too, which is weaved throughout the film.It's a low budget movie, so some of the acting is so-so, but there are several stand-outs(like the guy in the wheel chair, the professor, and the girl who played Tiffany.) Not your typical horror film, but definitely with its frightful moments, and the whole "trapped" feeling of Alcatraz (which they actually shot parts of the film on).
