I've seen a lot of 'b'movies in my life. Some of them were alright, other were pretty bad, and some were plain bad.But this? This was just plain terrible. NOTHING in this movie was good. It actually made me angry when I watched it. The acting is beyond terrible, there is no storyline, it's also very misogynistic.Also the 'special effects' were SO bad, it's not even funny. After I watched this, I felt like 'The Room' deserved 10 Oscars. I still can't believe I watched it out, curiosity? Maybe? Maybe I kept hoping it would get better? I don't know. I'm sad I wasted more than an hour of my life on that crap. I wish I could get that precious time back, and I wish I could erase this bullshit out of my head.Never I've seen a movie that was so bad as this one, seriously worst movie ever. Thinking about it makes me angry again.Stay away from this one, I beg you.

Somehow I managed to stick this movie out until 20 minutes before the end when I got so bored I had to switch it off. At first I thought it was an out and out parody because I couldn't believe that anyone would release a movie with such terrible acting in it. But no, the writer and director were serious and the budget was wasted on this abomination rather than going to a decent director who could have made something of a measly budget (it has been done before).To the reviewer that said they are a fan of this genre and then goes on to sing this pile of crap's praises, you must have watched some seriously dire horror films in your lifetime. And to all those who gave it more than a couple of stars, clearly your either getting paid to bump up the reviews you know someone in the film, or you're being ironic and the joke's on us (Ha ha). And I'll tell you what is a joke, this film.DO NOT BOTHER WASTING YOUR TIME WATCHING THE HOSPITAL 2013. WATCH SOMETHING, ANYTHING, ELSE.

Never have I seen such an obvious list of "reviewers" (ie actors, friends of the director, etc) giving such an awful pile of utter garbage so much undeserved praise. Do not believe the 10 star reviews, people, this film has nothing going in its favour - cheap and shoddy "actors" and sets, horrific dialogue,amateur film-making...at it's absolute worst! Those of you with a masochistic/misogynistic streak in you may get off watching an endless stream of women getting tortured,knifed,raped and killed,but as a horror movie fan, I am ashamed of movies like this - there's no wit, context,explanation, just women (and women only) being horrifically murdered. Don't support this kind of film-making, please, as it gives the horror genre a terrible name.I didn't manage to sit through this pile of garbage to the end as I already felt as if my eyes were being punished - it's NOT hostel, not by a million miles. It's just cheap,nasty and cruel.

Old St. Leopold's Hospital has many urban legends surrounding it, but the residents of Bridgeport all agree on one thing: tortured souls roam its abandoned halls. The mystery proves too much for a pretty young student who decides to investigate for her senior class project. Unfortunately, she does not find ghosts. She, instead, finds Stanley... serial rapist, murderer, and psychopath. As the young girl becomes Stanley's new pet, a team of young investigators descend on the hospital to "hunt some ghosts." Stanley sees nothing but fun and games in his future. But, what Stanley does not know is that the hospital truly is haunted and the restless spirits there are not happy with what he has been doing.On the surface, it appears as if the gang at Deviant Pictures has created an homage to the horror films of the 1980s... it's obvious these movies were their inspiration... but this film actually delves much deeper than that.The Hospital has a great story that keeps you engaged and actually contains two major twists that you'll never see coming! It also contains some of the grittiest scenes of torture ever to be committed to film. What makes these scenes of torture even more disturbing is the dark humor that runs beneath them. The writers, Jim O'Rear and Daniel Emery Taylor, are obviously toying with the audience... and it's very effective.Some of the visual effects by Tommy Golden are sub-par and cheesy, but this just adds to the campy, dark humor that's already built into the film and provides moments of guilty giggles.For an indie film, the performances from all of the actors are extremely solid. Many Hollywood actors could learn a lesson from watching some of these people go through their paces... especially Jim O'Rear, Daniel Emery Taylor, Jason Crowe, Alicia Clark, and Robyn Shute.Throw in a few great cameos from horror staples such as John Dugan, April Burill, and Scott Tepperman and you've got yourself one heck of a ride! Highly Recommended!!
