Paranormal Prison

Acting was okay, but ultimate storyline was so plot hole filled it was ludicrous. The anagrams and and acronyms were cheesy (ghost/sthog and SKEPTC) and the missing killer lady plot point went nowhere- yeah they figured out how she escaped.....AND?!? What purpose did it serve? It's not like they tracked her down and figured out where she lived after she escaped. THAT would have been helpful. And the guard? "we saw him on your wall". You mean above the plaques that were dated in the last century,but you didn't blink an eye at the resemblance? And for 4 roses to be an overwhelming theme around the character,they only had one section of roses. You would have though rose references would be everywhere,but no,just one bush,that's it. Overall a even less than mediocre movie. It's too late for me,i can't unsee this. But you have been warned. Save yourself!

It's the typical hand-held camera investigation theme. If they stuck to just the camera recording scenes it might not have been a waste of time. But every so often they had to throw in some heartfelt sob story about their past and the acting was REALLY bad. I mean stage drama, Shatner as Capt. Kirk, overacting, bad.

Very dull movie, bad story line, acting is even worse. Seen some better found footage style movies.. Better luck next time...

No wonder that the 2021 horror movie "Paranormal Prison" snuck in under the radar. This movie was pretty bad.

When I sit down to watch a movie, I don't like throwing money, time or effort after a movie with the presentation of something that I could have made myself with my own digital video camera - heck, even with a mobile phone camera. And "Paranormal Prison" is exactly that, one such amateurish-feel movie. I loathe movies that feel like you are supposed to be right there with the cast, given the dubious and shoddy camera that is all over the place.

And of course, any movie with the word "Paranormal" in the title is just bound to be bad. So far I haven't seen a single movie with that word in its title that provided me with proper entertainment. So no, I am not a fan of the dubious "Paranormal Activity" franchise either.

The storyline told in "Paranormal Prison" definitely had some appeal to it and some interesting aspects. But it was just brutally slaughtered by the 'found footage' type of movie that director Brian Jagger opted for. Had it been filmed and presented as a proper movie, then writers Brian Jagger and Randall Reese definitely were on the right track with the storyline here.

The acting in the movie was adequate enough, taking into consideration the rubbish movie that they were in. I wasn't familiar with anyone on the cast list, which is something that I like in movies. But it just hardly mattered in "Paranormal Prison", as the movie was ruined by the camera work. However, I can't really claim that the character gallery in the movie was particularly outstanding or memorable.

"Paranormal Prison" came and went without as much as a shudder, much less leaving a lasting impression. I managed to suffer through it to the end, and believe me, this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time. Nor is it a movie that I would recommend you wasting your time, money or effort on.

My rating of the 2021 horror movie "Paranormal Prison" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

Most low-budget found-footage movies based on the paranormal investigation theme seem to be horrible. This one is better than many, but it's still not great. The acting isn't bad and the overall story is okay. I do like the concept of a haunted prison.
