Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

GL84 Trying to reach his sister, a man has himself committed to the same psychiatric ward as her in order to get her out only to find the staff experimented with a drug that turns people into psychotic killers and tries to bring down those responsible before the killers get loose.This was quite the frustrating effort. Among the few qualities that work well here are the rather enjoyable and impressive qualities afforded to the sanitarium. This is easily one of the most undesirable asylums featured as the concept of the location as well as what they're accomplishing inside makes for a truly disturbing concept through his procedures and treatment of the patients. This one really works nicely with the intensity featured here in these scenes as the scenes of the group tormenting their patients or the outbursts of the turned patients who constantly attack him or his friends as they give this one the kind of expressively chilling setup that goes over into rather chilling territory. Even the action picks up considerably in the final half as the film lets them loose within the confines of the building and forces a massive assault on the uninfected in order to find a way to escape which allows plenty of stellar action here with the crazed cannibalistic staff running wild ripping people to pieces or popping out to swarm the group in massive numbers as there's plenty to like here. This offers up plenty of brawling, running around and chilling confrontations from the entire ward crumbling down at once to the escape from the main floor featuring plenty of crazed patients running around to the big final race to get to the top of the facility where they started which forces a great manner of battles to get away from them. This action all gives it a fantastic series of gore setups which make this one quite graphic and splattery, yet these here are what all that holds up for this one. One of the few minor flaws is the fact that there's just such a lame setup to bring him to the asylum that it never really makes sense and doesn't hold up at all since there are too many red flags about getting through security checks to make his appearance there seem too coincidental. Likewise, the fact that the majority of the first half is content to just walking through the rules of the setup doesn't make for all that much thrilling content here and just causes this one to feel bland and just running through the motions in regards to how it goes about getting him acclimated. This lowers the action considerably as it's mainly just their freak-outs without anything else going on for it so that brings it down as well. With a lame finale that just seems stupid in retrospect, these here are the film's minor problems.Rated R: Extreme Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and violence-against-animals.

Brandon Lewis Unique idea. Starts out really good. Tons of potential. I had it at about an 8 or so until about halfway through when things just got ridiculous. It went from smart and interesting to completely absurd..and corny..You know those movies where the good guy will shoot someone or do something cool and make some witty reference that makes you cringe? That happens about 10 times in the last half. It's almost like the intelligent director handed off the script to his brain-dead little brother and told him to finish it. I will say though, if you like the whole mental hospital setting in horror movies, give it a go. As I said, the first half is really good and if your opinion on the other half is different than mine..you'll really enjoy it. First half 8 Last half 3 5.5, give it a 6

artpf One of the worst flicks I've seen in a long time. A stolen plot from TV's Prison Break that even features actors from the show! Instead of prison it's an insane asylum and instead of saving his brother it's his sister.Shameful rip off with some incredibly poor acting. The rest of the "Plot" is stereotyped from every bad crazy people exploitation movie ever made -- including the sex crazed hunny with giant implants.It's an insulting mess.If if was done in a campy sort of way, perhaps there would be some funny moments to capture our interest, but it's not.It's done as a straight forward horror movie and it simply doesn't work in the slightest.Stay away at all costs!

TdSmth5 A girl goes insane and is institutionalized. Her brother decides to get her out by getting himself committed as well. But strange things happen inside. Some of the patients have changed iris color and are rather violent. One of the nurses sympathizes with the brother, a nympho patient is trying to get him into trouble in more than one ways.As it turns out some of these patient with the gray iris in the maximum security area go completely nuts at the sight of blood. They turn into animals. The good Dr. in charge (Peter Stormare, from...Prison Break) is developing his own compound that he thinks will cure all mental disease. His sidekick, a pretty female Dr., goes along with everything the Dr. does.When the sister is about to injected with the substance, the brother and a fellow institutionalized guy decide it's time to get her out. But by then all hell breaks loose. The patients turn outright into cannibals and for some silly script-required coincidence, our group of heroes has to continuously run through the dangerous maximum security area. Of course the brother knows everything about electronics, building layout, etc., he can disarm any security device with a kick and playing with wires.Overall, this movie has the right idea, but goes through all the clichés. It looks good although it is evident there wasn't much of a budget. Perhaps they could have put some money into better use by hiring less extras. There's some gore but little horror.
