Arkham Sanitarium: Soul Eater

This film is OK. Nothing more. Nothing less. It's not awful but it's nothing great. It's a low budget indie movie therefor we know that we're going to get bad acting, poor dialog and cheesy FX. That being said, this is one of the better low budget indie movies out there at the moment. Now here comes my issue with this and most other indie movies that are made by people who have Facebook accounts. These film makers get all of their Facebook chums to rate the film a 9 (since they know that IMDb punishes 1s and 10s as they assume that the lowest or highest votes are from trolls for the 1s and friends of the film makers and actors for the 10s) and even worse they then get these Facebook friends to post reviews to IMDb, RedBox and other internet venues. Therse reviews are always glaringly positive and incredibly obviously fake! If you want your pals and family to post a review tell them to easy off on all of the arse kissing. When someone proclaims an indie film as being one of the best movies ever, it's clear to anyone with any intelligence that it's a bogus review. I know that Ron Fitzgerald and Jim Sorfleet have 5000 Facebook friends, the limit by Facebook, and most of these "friends" are shills who take to IMDb, RedBox, etc. to leave BS reviews. How about letting actual viewers review your movies and tell the honest truth about how the movie is? Having friends and family post fake reviews does not help you. It hurts actually. If someone reads all of these stellar reviews then sees the movie and sees how bad it is, or how badly the reviewers have lied at least, they will forever not trust your work! Ask Potent Pictures about this. They have more fake friends reviews then any other indie film makers and people all know how awful their movies are. So anyhow, anywho, this movie is OK, the first 3 stellar reviews are fake and you all need to stop with the fake reviews. That is all!

Ivan Deth; Horror Clown, always honest, never phony. Over and out!

It has become glaringly obvious to me that the only thing 20-somethings find scary is supernatural/ghost/malevolent spirit movies. Can you say boring? I knew you could. The found footage phenom apparently has nothing new to add to the horror genre which means young indie horror film makers need to start trying to be innovative or get out of the business because, as evidenced by this abysmal result, there is nothing to add or say that hasn't been been done, said, or tried before.

All that being said, unless you happen to like found footage, I recommend skipping this one entirely; it's part of your life you'll never get back nor will you be surprised, scared, or impressed.

WOW! This was quite the movie going experience. Director Julian Grant took the popular found footage and put his own unique and wildly entertaining spin on it. The lead, Shannon Brown, was magnetic. Every time he was on the screen, I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Not only is Brown the lead, but he is also the comic relief. Just when the madness of the film gets to be a bit too much, Brown delivers the levity to keep you hooked. His co star Rinska Carrasco delivers as well as the frightened, but still strong, scientist investigating the alleged haunted clinic. I have seen Brown play multiple roles and I'm amazed by his seemingly endless range. One thing you know you are gonna get every time is a genuine performance and this film was no different. The chemistry and electricity between Brown and Carrasco is very real. The second male lead, Jerry, provides a great balance as the conservative, by the book scientist that is always at odds with Brown's character who is the fame hungry self annointed "face of the operation". There is a clever added element that certainly adds to the rivalry and tension between the characters that I won't give away. Overall, this film is a great ride, a VISUAL MIND RAPING for lack of a better term. Julian Grant pulled no punches and clearly made the film his twisted, genius mind wanted to make. That's why you have to love indie projects, filmmakers are not bound by what the "suits" deem appropriate. EASY 10 in my book, a MUST see!

Stars: Ron Fitzgerald and Rinska Carrasco.

A Julian Grant flick.

So,Starts of as ANOTHER found footage flick,no matter the budget it's been done to death,Pun intended.

Then,With the 3 leads,Who are all awesome,Especially Rinska needs to work more ,Things go wild and wilder.

The ghosts,possessions and sheer villainy just runs rampant and leads into the last third of flick.

In the last third,we have HP Lovecraft icons galore,torture chamber items to boggle the senses and a scene …That will be added to THE GALAXY OF TERROR 'Giant Maggot Rapist' urban legends.

The ending was perfect,hilarious and numbing for all concerned.

OH,And don't come looking for The Batman

this is a very bad movie ,boring ,actually it's a waste of time , found footage ,low budget which is not an excuse for the bad acting ,bad script ,characters and directing . it's an ambush ! i was excited at first ,off course i didn't expect to see batman when i read the name ,though i expected a good movie . from the first moment i got disappointed . only 3 characters in this one and yet very bad script and acting . after about 10 minutes i thought it was a comedy rather than horror or a very bad mix of both . so here's and advice ,do not waste your time watching this one read a book or get some sleep better .
