pressurehead_cb This movie had the potential to be great. However the complete rip off of the Grave Encounters movie's was more than apparent. The acting was awful, you could not identify with the characters at all, one minute they were terrified, the next happy then terrified again. The script was hopelessly written and you just couldn't engage with the characters 'fear' due to unconvincing dialogue. I'm well aware the camera work was intended to be from the 'camcorder' perspective, however it was TOO jittery. The scares were boring, the story was unoriginal and the ending was a relief when it came. The only GOOD thing about this movie was where it was filmed, it actually looked really good and creepy. But poor cast and crew basically ruined it. Don't bother with this one. Ever. Unless you're a location scout.

peeka1232003 I love, love, love all things paranormal and this movie provided something I had not encountered since Paranormal Activity and that is an honest to goodness chill. I think the people that gave this movie bad reviews have not actually given the film a chance. The first time I watched it I thought it was great. I saw some things in the background of some of the scenes and had to rewind to make sure that what I thought I saw was really there. Decided to watch a second time to see if there were more things I had missed and it turns out, there are tons! You really have to watch this movie without interruption and look very closely, the faces, the shadows, are subtle and really creepy. Will watch again to see if there are even more things I missed. You have to know that's why Alex keeps talking about the shadows. Didn't have a problem with the acting at all, to me they were just college students. I did not, however, understand the ending, but total able to overlook it. After watching this movie and being alone in the house, I get creeped out.

Paul Magne Haakonsen As much as I dislike these shoddy shot movies with their questionable camera work and their supposedly "found footage" concept, then "Greystone Park" (aka "The Asylum Tapes") is definitely in the top five of the more boring and pointless movies in the genre that I have had the misfortune to stumble upon.The story here, is as in so many other low budget movies, about a group of people venturing into a run-down, old, abandoned mental institution (or asylum, if you will) to investigate some alleged rumors about it being haunted.Right, that is perhaps one of the most used and generic of story lines in the history of horror movies. And you'd think with so many movies with the same storyline that there would be a bigger chance for someone to actually get the recipe just right. You would, wouldn't you? Indeed, but "Greystone Park" swung and missed widely.The movie is mostly just questionable camera work that was all over the place, and randomly interrupted by static noise to make the atmosphere seem all the more ghastly and scary. But it just didn't work. The movie came off as horribly rushed and forcefully pushed together in what seemed like an array of random clips.I will say that the setting of the movie was actually what worked out the best for the movie. Although you'd think that a run-down and closed down mental institution would have its equipment and gear long looted and gone. But oddly enough, a lot of things were still there. Which just didn't really seem all that believable.As for the acting, well people actually did good enough jobs with their given roles, although they were struggling hard having no proper storyline to work with.If you enjoy these types of movies, perhaps you can find something enjoyable here, as I failed to. If you, like me, want to be properly entertained by a movie with proper camera work, then you are better off looking elsewhere.

CBS Greystone Park aka The Asylum Tapes.. starts with the master director and his prodigal son (?) discussing about ghosts and spooky things in a dim lit dinner table along with few other guys and gals.. And,, some of them head to film the Greystone park and the mental asylum which is there.. The horror starts..Should i say horror or utter confusion.. ??What goes next is a serious rehashed scenes taken from well known found footage movies.. and its so disgusting and comedy filled direction less scenes.. you would actually destroy your beloved DVD player or bluray player or the TV in which you are watching this nth grade noobish movie..If you are a true horror fan.. just give it a go.. and fast forward all the way and finish the movie watching in 3-4 minutes. Thats it. The so called great Oliver Stone is appearing in few frames .. for reasons unknown even to the smartest Sherlock Holmes alive ... maybe MiB3 would appreciate better.. ;-)
