SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

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

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

loomis78-815-989034 A group of researchers go to investigate an abandoned detention center which use to house many famous killers. Experiments had been done on the inmates and one of the deadliest, Darrell Coombs (Kosmenko) is somehow still there. The idiots wander off and get captured and killed as Coombs dispatches them. Bordering between torture porn and a slasher film, this low grade junk wouldn't move the meter for either genre. The absurd script is only upstaged by the lousy production and uninspired acting and directing. There is a little gore but it is of the who cares? variety. This wouldn't, and couldn't scare a soul. Even the downbeat ending can't supply a chill. Avoid.

shanthakumar65-391-634129 The idea was OK and they tried to make up for the horrible effects and acting with the usual and expected stuff people want in a horror movie a.k.a: blood,violence,and a little bit of nudity. But again the acting sucked, there was hardely any effects, and the movie seemed to be dragging, and almost homemade. You may or probably will not like it. They probably thought if you put the parts of what any movie has you will get a good movie(like some kind of formula) but they forget its more than just that. They were going in the right direction with the idea of a diverse group of friends was typical. This movie needs a lot of work... this reminds me a lot from a ghost show on history channel or discovery channel... the nudity was the best part overall

HEFILM The abandoned location of the prison is decent. There is one very good effect involving a nail gun driving nails into a moving hand that is seamless, I don't know how they did it. There is one pair of nice looking breasts in the first few minutes of the film. There are a few nice exterior sunset shots. There are also about 4 good looking shots--none of which oddly are in Loinsgate's trailer for the film.That's it. Those are the good elements here. Super bad elements are the way over lit everything. It looks like old Scoop lights aimed at people. Acting is pretty bad but the writing doesn't deserve much better. Villain is stupid looking fat guy who almost trips coming down a set of stairs near the end. All the gore, other than hand effect is poor and editing doesn't help movie at all. Other comment about the generally very low video quality is true, have not seen shot on video stuff look this bad in a number of years. It is all nicely in focus though. Audio quality is super bad too, much post dubbing of noisy outdoor scenes early on, though once they get inside that stops and none too soon, it's like a foreign film before that, so much is dubbed. Lots of supposed Jump Scare moments none of which work. Padded credits at front and back to get the "film" to a feeble bare minimum lenght of 85 minutes. They did have a crane for some of the shoot but it's not very well used. This is barely passing grade film school stuff at best.So why does Lion'sgate continue to pick up stuff like this and put their name on it and hurl it at the horror audience? This one was finished in 2007 and only now in 2009/2010 getting released so maybe they bought it long ago or made a poor offer that the producer's had to eventually accept. Why why why? Because they don't care or understand horror films they just push the crap out there, I guess they are counting on the increasingly bad SAW films to retain some fan base. Only THE ASYLUM puts out stuff with so much contempt for the fans and Lionsgate should know better. It's really a shame on them as a company to show now pride at all in their output. The producers of this made a pretty amateur movie, they may not know how to make a better movie, but Lionsgate produces theatrical films and inherited a large library of films of some note. It's shameful. Unless it's a SAW film anything with Lionsgate's name on it is a rip off for fans and also hurt the market, and those SAW films are going downhill fast.

C-Ant Slasher horror we've all seen before, but we've seen it better.The story is very simple, a bunch of teens led by Dr. Richard Magellan visit an abandoned prison, which the Doc believes to have been used by the government to conduct experiments using serial killers as guinea pigs. The Doc wishes to document the place and find out the 'truth'. They enter the prison and that's when people start getting bumped off.Despite its low budget the general filming and editing is quite good, some nice effects used in places, the gore scenes (plenty of them) are done well with no cgi, though most kills are off screen the results of the brutal attacks are shown and look pretty good. Unfortunately this is were the good stuff ends.The acting is weak, almost all the characters are weak and/or annoying - in fact the only 'likeable' character is 'Studs' and it seems like he was the character we're supposed to hate! The lead actor playing the doc is simply boring and virtually monotone. 'Sarah' is so annoying I wanted her to die in the first 10 mins, actually that goes for most of the characters. There is near zero back story or character development, the story pushes an expected twist - which doesn't happen and most annoying of all is that there is no answers, no conclusions!The door has been left open for a sequel, I really hope the people involved don't bother.Well filmed, good make-up, bad characters, crap story.3/10
