    Serious title fraud, mostly worthless, some fun in last 5 minutes

    The film is being sold in the U.S. as a Haunted House movie, even the menu designs show a house with burning windows and people with straight razors. Well none of that is in this movie! Shot in 2002 finally seeing a video shelf in 2006! Written originally like 20 years before that this is a film that escaped, briefly, not released. Was the only way to sell it to sell it as something it wasn't to this degree!?! Given the "quality" of the film, perhaps would be a cynical answer and the answer the producers must have decided was their only option to get the film off the shelf. But this is really shameful.

    The film almost entirely takes place in rather poorly decorated warehouse interiors trying to be some sort of hospital. Lots and lots of talk, the medical machinery when it's shown is very shoddy indeed. Brief nudity sort of in one love scene with Denise Duff should be mentioned as one of the few reasons anyone may not be totally angry to waste time and money watching this. She plays with her glasses a lot, that's as much character development as she explores.

    However, there is a mutant sort of two headed retard character/monster that is pretty well done and during the final 5 minutes there is a lively sequence involving him. The rest of the film is a dull cheap waste of time.

    Whole thing is shot on HD, and thought it doesn't scream video, it doesn't look especially good either, some of the lighting is really bad but it's in focus, just lacks any style or sense of claustrophobia or building tension. Talk talk talk. Cheap, cheap, cheap. A long wait for very very little result I'd think for all involved and for all those who have to watch it.

    It's a movie made by Asylum, should I say more?

    The Asylum is a movie studio that has a reputation of making cheap B-movies. Sometimes mock-busters (cheap knock-offs of more known movies made for fooling the viewers in seeing their crap-fests) and sometimes really cheap movies. And DR. RAGE is no exception.

    The movie is about a doctor that tries to uncover the mysteries behind the Straun Foundation with the help of his female partner. In the meanwhile he also discovers that the foundation's director is plotting against them. But in the meanwhile the viewer is bored by shoddy editing, bad acting performances (including from once respected actress Karen Black in one of her more recent movies to date), some scenes that doesn't make sense (like the scene of the hobo assaulting the lead across the street) and some creepy special effects towards the end.

    However this movie is so badly made and dull that even bad movie fans (like myself) would avoid. And I have to confess that the more I watched it the more I wasn't caring about the characters and prone to falling asleep!!

    Scary,Creepy,AND Denice Duff !

    STRAUN HOUSE Starring: Denice Duff, Andrew Divoff, Karen Black and John Kassir. "So, You think you're ANGRY now !,Wait till THE DOCTOR sees YOU !"We wish they had used one of the original titles, Dr. Rage or The Last Patient, The public would have loved this 'Reanimator-esque' Mad Doctor romp. Denice Duff is gorgeous and has some wonderful scenes. Andrew Divoff seems over the top, Until you are privy to whole plot. Karen Black as a lawyer, No really ! John Kassir is a rubber face henchman, Brings new meaning to the word "Lackey". Theasylum has a good scare here and seems to let it breath with gusto. The beginning and the middle set up a fantastic finale with multiple gore effects

    No one should ever watch this movie

    This movie was so absolutely horrible, it inspired me to write my first review on IMDb.

    My friend and I are horror movie connoisseurs. We've seen them all - bad, good, awful yet funny...

    It doesn't matter what you in enjoy in a good horror movie, this movie will not deliver it. It was a waste of my 88 minutes and 3 bucks from start to finish. Even if you like to watch bad horror movies simply to laugh at how bad they are...this movie will simply make you want to rip out your eyes and curse the society which gives birth to such horrible, poorly acted films.

    DO NOT RENT!

    Based on a False Story

    This review pertains to the "Unrated Directors Cut" Where to begin on a film like this? First of all I have seen many, many horror movies, but never one quite like this. You will notice from the first five minutes that this film isn't exactly a "Hollywood" production, but I tried not to let that taint my review. The film revolves around a taxi-driver who has a bit of a rage problem and instead of facing jail time, decides to do some medical "research" There are a few minor twists and turns that I will leave for you to find out, but the bottom line is this movie never reaches the high expectations shown on its DVD Cover. The special effects are OK, the last five minutes are fair, but the overall mood of the movie never really reaches full effect.

    If you are a fan of odd, low budget, dialog movies, then you might actually find this one somewhat entertaining. The added sex scene provides at least some sort of excitement to an otherwise dull production.

    My rating 2 out of 10.
