Ravenswood

Pretty awful all around. Unlikeable characters who use the oldest lines in comedy. The Virgin Hoe is a great touch. Baaaaarf.

I am a fan of Australian films but this one left me annoyed and quite irritable.

Firstly, there really wasn't anything new within the story-line and basically, we all knew what was to come.

Secondly, the acting didn't seem genuine. At some point, it looked as though the actors were tired and had to force themselves into character. One of the American kids was just a total ass! I doubt anyone would act that way but, it is only a film so I will bypass my hatred for that character. Also, why have American actors in the movie? I hope this was not made for an international release? Or were the actors Australian putting on an American accent?

I honestly have seen better films from Ozzie writers and producers. This film was on the verge of boredom.

Watched Ravenswood asylum last night 🌃 🇦🇺 Australian horror fairly good 📼 film 👌 for the money 💷 I spent enjoyed the element of the film and gave it four stars.

Two young couples turn up at a supposedly haunted house for the weekend where they are met by a third. That sentence may contain a paucity of detail but, regardless of how much it is elaborated on, you know what comes next.

The house concerned is actually an abandoned hospital in Australia where a notorious doctor used to practise shock therapy. The third couple are the custodians, and for a fee they will show you around the premises where you can experience the feel like no other haunted house in Australia complete with cold spots nurtured by dry ice.

Yes, to the surprise of the custodians and the disbelief of the paying customers, a real spirit is unleashed, and yes, it does start killing them, and yes, this is not the sort of situation in which any rational person wants to find himself. The ghosts are rational too, one of them, because in the penultimate scene, having possessed the body of one of the people she/it hasn't killed, she explains at length to the other survivor how wrong he is about ghosts. Does this film have any good points? Well, at the moment you can watch it free on YouTube, but you may still want your money back. The reasons "Ravenswood" doesn't score zero points are because one is mandatory and because all concerned are clearly rank amateurs, and should not be judged by the standards of professional actors, scriptwriters or producers. In short, pity.

There's not a lot of story and an awful lot of awful acting in this one. Nothing really breaks out as great in this one. You might want to save yourself the time.
