Trivia
Uri Geller's scenes were added after the film was completed because it was felt that the film was too complicated and some kind of explanation was needed.

Goofs
Its a common goof, but however small always breaks the film "spell". One of the mourners makes the classic mistake of looking directly at the camera, just after the punch up at the wake, but the real beauty of it is that it's as if she forgot they were filming (so "into" the role), and was surprised to see a camera in the room, check out the double take at the camera, then swift realisation of her GOOF and aversion of the eyes away! Luckily the tall baldy chap is acting so well most people miss this goof.

Alternate versions
Originally released as "Diagnosis", the film was shortened and retitled Sanitarium for the US release. A special edition was released in the UK featuring additional gore and action sequences.

What a Joke

If this film was an intentional spoof, this film may have been watchable. What i find infuriating is that it was a serious horror flick. What a joke.

Of course, having a low budget will give complications and limit ones vision, but this film made no sense, the lighting was poor the sound was at a low and I have never seen such a bunch of wooden talentless actors. I'm just puzzled on how a film like this gets commissioned.

The plot was weak, it seemed to be based on a computer game as issues within the film were vague and when you feel there going to get to the point, it trails off into nowhere.

The camera work was sleepy, this is due to the directors lack of direction. How many wide shots would you like in a sequence. Far too many were used. i felt you are cheated out of beats because of this

To top it off, it was dubbed. A very poor attempt. I don't find the low budget to be a valid excuse as university projects are of better quality. If I handed this into my tutor. It would be a first class fail.

Uri Gellar? Get a grip.
