Mistero a Eloise

Most horror movies nowadays are super duper cheesy and not that great. Eloise is pretty good. Not the best, but also not horrible. If i'm honest, i REALLY enjoyed Eloise. However, the first quarter of the movie is quite slow, kind of boring. The ending is pretty satisfying. I like it. Nice job. 7/10

This movie is based on real location, Eloise Insane Asylum. Four young adults break into the now derelict Eloise to hunt for a death certificate needed to allow one of the four to claim his inheritance.

With a great cast, excellent location and pretty good story it had all the ingredients of a solid horror. Unfortunately it just doesn't gel. There have been many movies similar which have been made much better such as Grave Encounters, Dark Feed, Reel Evil and Sanatorium.

There was no atmosphere, it wasn't believable, the performances lacked charisma. It is a watchable film but is disappointing and not one that you would particularly want to re-watch.

This wasn't nearly as bad as you might presume initially. After watching the trailer, it gives you very run-of-the-mill, cliche, cringe, indi horror but it proved to be better than that.

Now while this wasn't anything wildly original or innovative it was still a tad different than what you've seen before and all in all entertaining. It lacked mostly in its delivery overall I would say though. A lot of moments felt canned and stilted and a bit hokey at times.

Regardless, it was creepy with some solid spook factor. The acting was, passable. Lead guy did better than I was expecting (don't expect too much from a pretty boy Hollywood type lol). I was leaning towards a 6 but the ending, was not bad, but a little unfulfilling. Would recommend.

Good film but very misunderstood ending. The fact that it's based on a real hospital gives it better quality.

The movie wasn't THAT bad. The only reason I watched it is because I grew up not far from there and didn't realize this was shot on site. I had never been in there but as a kid was threatened to be thrown in there 50 times (C'mon every town has one of these places that kids know of like "If you don't straighten up we're going to have you thrown in Shady Pines". Well for us it was Eloise).

The most horrifying thing about this movie was how they got that black dude to play that 1970s J.J. stereotype then have him stealing the drugs and shooting at everything. Having him nearly drown was the icing on the cake as you know black people are afraid of water too (eyeroll).

TRIVIA: Jackie Wilson is buried in a cemetery across the road from this place. It was paupers grave for years until they raised enough money for a proper monument.
