Heilstätten

This movie needs a bigger screen and good atmosphere to work.

Don't watch in daytime or on a small TV.

It's not a one star movie. It is well made, the actors are quite good (they are very good at displaying the typical youtubers).

The setting is amazing and its use is quite effective.

The plot twist is weird, but who cares, it works.

For Found Footage completists.

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.

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.

Here's The Lowedown on "Heilstatten: Haunted Hospital" (NR - 2018 - DVD)

Lang: German Genre: Horror/POV My Score: 5.3

Cast=4 Acting=6 Plot=7 Ending=5 Story=3 Scare=3 Jump=5 F/X=6 POV=7 Twist=7

At an abandoned sanctuary near Berlin, a group of YouTubers illegally enter for a 24-hour challenge they hope will go viral. They learn too soon that they are not alone and not welcome.

"Rule number one: no Internet while we're here." I thought this was pretty good, but only because I am a POV horror junkie. This movie would only appeal to those that would think the same way. Even still, there was a solid concept (maybe because YouTubers die) and a good twist (you have to pay attention). If you're desperate, this might be worth a look.

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.
