    Juvenile jankness

    I understand movies are supposed to be fantasy and what not, but people can't be this stupid. Even if you are curious enough to check out the abandoned building, thoughts of sex usually don't pop into your head. And who willingly sits in an electric chair? And you see the power surging so you tighten the electric chair head strap on your friend instead of taking it off? Not to mention giving up your phones into 1 location instead of just turning them off for the weekend? And let's not talk about the jank ending. You couldn't kill these kids off fast enough. Normally I'd complain about the lack of minorities in the film, but I can see why other races would not be bothered with this crew of plastic surgery nightmares

    Potential was DESTROYED by Direction/Production

    No spoilers here, just basics.

    The acting was fair to OK. The story/script was fair/OK (interesting, but maybe a little to detailed and over-thought, which COULD be OK or great).

    But the direction and production of this just blew any "watchability" elements apart. What was reoccurring themes got lost in the convoluted mishmash of the director over emphasizing things that didn't matter, and letting things that do matter just slip right past. Then throwing in totally unneeded special effects that added nothing, and actually detracted from the ability to get into the story. On and on and on, ever 10 minutes part of me went "ok, I get why the actor played it that way, but why did they shoot the scene like that, and edit it that way, it might has well of been a live play on stage..."

    If you can see past the horrible production of this movie, there is some decent acting and an interesting story underneath. But, to be honest, it's SO difficult to see because of the horrible production, I couldn't recommend ANYONE try to watch this movie (unless you are only doing so to get horror movie story ideas and see if the actors in it are any good).

    Silly and horribly written

    Guy has tree trunk shoved through eye and brain.... "You OK Son? ... Hang in there"... I think that sums this movie up completely.

    Hmmm

    This movie, like a number of horrors of its kind, are better when you're younger. Once you get older and realize you bought the movie a few years ago and decide to re-watch it, you be like why did I buy this. With that said, it's something about corny horror movies that I like and this one is no different. When that police car blew up though, I was rolling, the effects were so bad. Acting could have been better and some of the dialogue needed to be revised. I'm not gonna say don't watch it or you should, but it is a little entertaining and probably is something for the horror collection.

    Attractive cast, poor direction and editing

    In the intro a guy is about to be executed by electric chair in a hospital for the criminally insane in the 50s. For a moment he frees himself, kills some guards, and recited religious warnings to the witnesses. But he's caught again and executed.

    Back in our time, 7 kids go for a road trip to camp. When they drive past a cemetery one of the girls screams out that they have to hold their breath, because as legend has it, spirits of bad people could roam around cemeteries and could possess you if you don't hold your breath. They all do except one of the guys who's too busy smoking pot all the time.

    When they make a pitstop they discover the abandoned hospital nearby and go to investigate, except dope-head who is indeed possessed by the spirit of our villain from the intro. He kills a cop and acts like a jerk toward his friends.

    Eventually they make it to camp, but the evil spirit jumps to another guy and he drives back to cemetery with one of the girls, whom, he kills gruesomely. When the rest of the kids go looking for them they run into an old cranky hospital guard who knows exactly what is going on and wants to put an end to it.

    I haven't seen an Asylum horror movie in a long time. Things have changed quite a bit. The movie looks good, except during the night when all the actors have some glow in their eyes. The acting is very good by the entire cast. Unfortunately, the script is a bit unfinished. Direction and editing are amateurish. One wonders whether some of the mistakes are on purpose, that's how silly they are. But the cast is attractive, the girls are gorgeous, there's some nudity, some gore, however some of the special effects look like they came from an 80s movie. Overall, a botched B movie saved by the charismatic cast.
