InDyingArms This film was unbelievable. I honestly can't even believe I fell for this garbage, my curiosity got the best of me, thanks to the title. I personally don't even know where to start with this, so allow me to start with the plot. Oh wait a minute, there seemed to be none. As far as I could tell from this film, the plot was a mixed around, confusing mess of random events just to consume running time. Even from what I could collect from the given "plot" it's still a very confusing mess of an idea. This girl decides to work in this asylum, but it's completely "haunted" due to it being built on the now torn down Amityville house? What!? From there on out, us as the audience are sitting back, watching as a load of confusing, extremely hard to follow mess is being thrown at our face. The characters in this film are so horribly clichéd, and so horribly boring, and unpleasing it's hard to even watch them deliver their lines. The characters themselves, we can't even really tell how, or what they even are due to they're underwhelming, depressing - like line delivery / acting itself. Some of they're deliveries don't even remotely make any sense, and go as far as angering the audience with they're horrible character choice making, if that. This movie gets even worse as it's supposed classification of horror just delivers itself as a very dull, very uneventful, boring, and just simply bad.I truly can't say anything else about this film. I realize it's on a micro-budget. But it's so horribly bad, and it tries so desperately to take itself seriously. But utterly fails, instead turning itself into a terrible, terrible film. It makes little, to no sense involving its plot, characters, scares, and overall storyline. The characters given are clichéd, boring, and even depressing. And overall, once again, involving it's needed elements, it just failed. And came out, even, ridiculous. I don't recommend this horrid, convoluted film under any circumstances, I truly can't.
Sam Winnard The DVD case for this film looks eerie, dark and dingy building, grey sky, angry crows circling; the works, however none of these make it into the film. The plot is terrible, loosely pieced together and leaves a lot of unanswered questions, such as; why is an American actor doing an Eastern European accent all film. The plot is terrible but the acting is far worse, most low budget movies cast inexperienced actors which leads to some overacting, but most of the film is under acted and you grow to dislike the main character due to her monotone delivery of the script and her unconvincing and delayed facial expressions leaving you to have no empathy whatsoever when some anonymous person finally shoots her in the head. I actually managed to sit through the whole thing, the ending was obscure, the 'ghosts' never reappeared (or were explained) and her mother who was referred to throughout the film has no significance. It feels like the movie goes through a lot of clichés; asylum, history Of murder on the land, ghosts, psychopaths, young girl cleaning alone at night, satanic rituals, and just for the hell of it let's throw in the fact the asylum built on an ancient Indian burial ground. However, thanks to this film I now know you can get an 8 cylinder Hoover that is quiet enough to not wake someone while they're sleeping, all thanks to the 10 minute scene on cleaning products.
pyroboi-451-118228 This film is a work of art that should be used as the apex of examples as to why movie piracy is as strong as ever. Because no-one (and I mean NO-ONE) should have to pay to sit through such mind-numbing drivel.The acting is terrible. Scenes are unfinished. Camera-work is shoddy. Most of the 'horror' is off camera (trying to be arty? didn't work). The story is intriguing and could have been made into a really fun horror flick if the right director and crew got hold of it.Sadly this never happened.Characters are unbelievable, the set is completely flat and without atmosphere. Nothing about this film grabs you.The most painful scene for me being the main character in a corridor after her colleague has been shot dead - over-acting and instead of fleeing for her life, hovers over the body (dry sobbing) whilst the faceless gunman patiently waits around 3-4 minutes for her to finish her scene before reloading the gun, prompting her to find her feet and run around the corner.Don't even get me started on the guy peeling liquid latex off his face to reveal some very bad make-up. Oh, I'm sorry...? He was peeling his own FACE off? Poltergeist circa 1982 did a more believable job.Absolute garbage. Avoid like the plague. This film is just an utter insult to would-be audiences.
tron2005 I only rented this movie from my local video shop because another customer said it was pretty good. Last time I take any notice of another customer.IMDb has rated this movie at 2.6 and I'm thinking that's 2.6 too much for this movie. Should be more like a -2.6 to be more fitting.About half way into the movie I started to get the feeling of similarities with the "Shutter Island" concept where the main character (Lisa), might just actually be an inmate of the asylum where she's working as a cleaner.88 minutes of my time wasted when I could had been sitting outside watching the grass grow. That would had been more entertaining!
