begob A screenwriter visits the set of his horror movie in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, where a dark force begins to create its own drama.Ouch! I gave this a shot because of some good recent IMDb reviews and the writer/directors also wrote The Ward, a passable hospital horror. Problem starts with the screenplay, which trowels on 20 different characters who get lost in a series of choppy, ineffective scenes. Most of the dialogue is pointless, failing to give impetus to the dark force, and the threat is confusingly both internal and external as ghouls creep out of the shadows and the cast goes insane. Plus they chose a really lame protagonist. Total mess and very hard to sit through despite the short run time.On top of that is the damn music. It's mostly simple, eerie strings and plinky piano - but it never turns off. Even when the odd dramatic scene comes along the dialogue gets swamped, and the music completely drains other scenes of their creepiness when silence is needed. Very close to hitting the eject button.Hard to judge the actors, because their characters were so badly drawn - a bunch of squabbling 13 year olds - and their lines were so pointless and lacking in intelligence or information.Camera was also poor. Lots of reflection on the lens and bad lighting of the actors.The story did develop pace in the end, but overall just awful. A much better film in this genre is Grave Encounters.

GL84 Attempting to shoot a low-budget horror film, a film crew at an abandoned hospital begin to come under the evil forces that lurk within the building and must try to get out before succumbing to those dangerous forces.This is a rather disappointing and somewhat problematic effort that really should've been much better than it is. The fact that this one contains some rather impressive elements that should've made this one work wonders is one of it's better elements, as there's a lot to like here. The best feature is the hospital itself, which is par for the course in these types of films, as the look here is rather dirty, dingy and completely covered over with mold, dirt and years of neglect that has that feeling of being completely abandoned and home to abundant evil right from the start. This is the absolutely perfect setting for a film such as this as it absolutely looks the part quite well and certainly seems like the perfect place for somebody to go as mad as they go in here with the main part of this showcasing the staff her succumbing to the whims of the forces around them which really scores quite well here as this manages to feature the kind of actions and attacks that make for quite a thrilling time. The way it manages to include both the hospital attacking the staff as well as the group attacking each other makes for quite thrilling moments as well with this one delivering several incredibly enjoyable scenes in here from the impressive stalking in the corridors to the shock surprise in the boiler and finally the main chase through the different offices that's quite a bit of fun here throughout. However, there's still some big, big problems here that hold this one down somewhat as the first big reason here is the fact that there's just no real action at all in the story. The main focus here is on the movie shoot, itself a huge problem when it's all the behind-the-scenes goings-on without really showing what movie they were filming so it tends to just meander along with hardly any any real focus at all for the majority of it's running time as it leaves out all sorts of potentially interesting moments to spend with all the nonsense backstage dealings like their relationships and such that don't really have any interesting features about them while it just eats up running time. The fact that they're so clueless about the transformations and possessions that have afflicted their friends is none the better, making it seem like they're just completely clueless about the world around them and really deserve what comes their way simply because of what happens to them during the course of this. Finally, the cheap special effects on display really comes back to haunt this one as the deaths are really lame, not all that scary and are quite illuminated in how lame they really are very easily. Such a shame that these flaws ruin what was a potentially enjoyable effort.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and mild drug use.

valentin7 Well, I made sure I had an account just to review this waste. I sat and watched this whole thing from beginning to end. It has a few gore scenes but lack of everything takes away from it. A one-man cemetery has more plot than this film. How do I get time back from my life? Is there a time refund for wasting mine on watching this. I couldn't shut it off because I had hope that something would change. The description made it sound so good-but no it's not. I want my hour and 21 minutes back. Who do I see about that??? The actors were not even famous or well known so that should have been a sign that this was worthless, but hey, that is how you start and get noticed isn't it? Well they will continue to go unnoticed for taking part in this nonsense.

jasonb7772002 Thank you IMDb for existing, otherwise I may have finished watching this ... whatever it is. I tried, and tried again to give this movie a chance, turning it off, doing something else, turning it back on, and just could not stomach it, without at least consulting this website. And thank you to the other members' reviews, so that I did not have to be tortured and endure the entire film. I don't even have A.D.H.D. ... it's just severely boring. There is an ancient proverb that says you must hear the whole matter before making a judgement, so I consider the user reviews that "hated" it to be the conclusion of the matter. I looked up the rating before I watched it, and considered 3.5 to not be bad... in my opinion that is highly overrated, as you can assume by my lowest option of 1...
