Sanitarium

Goodness where do i start. Should i first mention this film's absolute inability to be coherent or maybe i should lament upon some truly awful wooden acting(especially Uri Geller's 'star' turn). Did i mention that the special effects are so side splittingly ridiculous that for a minute i seriously considered that this film might have been mislabelled and was actually intending to be a comedy? The basic plot is an unoriginal tale of strange goings on in an asylum, a new drug is being tested out and its introduction has coincided with a few gruesome(and gratuitously paraded)deaths. The faults that i have already referred to, along with some truly awful dubbing and a complete lack of a set budget(they must have spent the money on Geller's fee)destroy what little chance this film did have of creating any sort of atmosphere.

Save your money and leave this one for geeky medical students or hermits who would have no idea what a good film was if it slapped them in the face

If this film was an intentional spoof, this film may have been watchable. What i find infuriating is that it was a serious horror flick. What a joke.

Of course, having a low budget will give complications and limit ones vision, but this film made no sense, the lighting was poor the sound was at a low and I have never seen such a bunch of wooden talentless actors. I'm just puzzled on how a film like this gets commissioned.

The plot was weak, it seemed to be based on a computer game as issues within the film were vague and when you feel there going to get to the point, it trails off into nowhere.

The camera work was sleepy, this is due to the directors lack of direction. How many wide shots would you like in a sequence. Far too many were used. i felt you are cheated out of beats because of this

To top it off, it was dubbed. A very poor attempt. I don't find the low budget to be a valid excuse as university projects are of better quality. If I handed this into my tutor. It would be a first class fail.

Uri Gellar? Get a grip.

The artwork on the box that this DVD came in was infinitely more entertaining than the film (using that term loosely) itself.

I feel as though the creators of this film had a very good Stephen King type idea, but miserably failed at making it into a watchable movie.

Great story. Poor acting and poor filming, perhaps due to a poor budget?

Maybe someone out there will see this movie and re-create it to it's full potential...

This boring british video is long on talk and is really hard to figure out. It has something to do with experiments on mentally ill people and a drug that opens the mind to parasites from another dimension( I think). There are some bloody scenes that liven it up a bit but this movie is so slow and disjointed they don't help. Maybe a bigger budget and script rewrite would have helped.

Absolute rubbish-no way does this story connect to anything resembling reality. Its a hotch potch of unfinished ideas and the most absurd plot line imaginable-the patients NOT injected are the ones who end up infected! Suddenly 5 people are shot and killed just like that. At the beginning the patients on the ward are cackling then suddenly they stop. There have been some great movies made with the mental home theme but this isn't one of them. I thought it can't be me-does anyone else understand this junk? Its either too damn clever for its own good -in which case its enough to give your brain a hernia-or perhaps its me who's mental.
