El manicomio: La cuna del terror

From the trailer, it looks very interesting and scary, but over the course of the film I discovered that it's a garbage and boring cliché film, pseudofoundfootage, with a script written by a sequel.

The movie is a found footage horror, and a lot of the movie rehashes what has already done before (but that's the case with all found footage horror movies nowadays). If you don't like found footage movies, then don't watch this one, obviously.

But if you're like me and love found footage horror, then you may be interested in this movie, and some of the scares are truly ok. My biggest issue is that the characters are really annoying, which began to wear on me around the 45-minute mark: the women just kept screaming and crying, the guys kept fighting and bickering with each other. With better characters, I might've been inclined to give this movie more praise.

A movie with such a good potential but sadly it ended to be really bad. The action takes too long to settle, the acting is bad, and actors are just caricatures of how someone you who don't understand this generation and internet views it. The movie try so hard to drown you with it's message " bouhou young people are stupid and they watch stupid things that some stupids ones do just to be famous" god knows this is so annoying. And this plot twist, a good idea, easy but not previsible but they failed it, cause of that goddamn kid's acting, 0 credibility. Plus they try to fix it but for a final it's too long and have absolutely no sense, at the end you're like " wtf ? ". It is sad, such a good idea wasted like a lot before this one. Watch it if you want to spend your time, for me, I'm not watching it again. One that you forget easily.

I've seen way better Found Footage movies. Even with all the spins and twists, this probably will not entice you too much. On the other hand, how is this different or worse than any other of the many FF movies out there? Yes from a story standpoint it tries to give it a spin (especially towards the end), but overall this is business as usual and shocking moments as usual as well.

The acting is overall ok, though I would totally understand if you feel differently. Either go with the flow and the ridiculous premise(s) or better not watch at all

The basic idea of a horror movie revolving around a bunch of YouTube influencer who are searching the next thrill for a couple of likes more is quite good. Even the setting is excellent, and the stories behind the sanitarium have potential. But after 10 minutes into the movie, you get sick by the lame comments and actings of those main characters. All of them are exchangeable, so they leave no impression whatsoever behind. As a matter of fact, you wish they die fast and cruelly. As much as I like setting and atmosphere - which really grows denser the longer the movie takes - at the same time I disliked all of the lead characters, which made the movie unwatchable.
