So low rated here on the bible of flicks so I wasn't sure to pick this up or leave it for what it was. And still it's a rare one to review because some will find it scary others will turn it off.

For the usual viewer and not found of horror this might have some scary moments but for horror buffs this isn't going to be your thing because to be honest, it takes a while before things go wrong.

We follow a film crew that is going to shoot a low budget horror in an abandoned asylum. Of course by now you do know that this isn't a good sign. And it isn't, slowly the building becomes darker and darker. It's never explained throughout the flick what the dark feed is. We do see pictures of patients been given the dark feed or fluid but for what reason is unclear. But it do takes over more than halfway this flick before the crew goes crazy. Some are out to kill and goes berserk, others harm their own body. Sadly all killings and bloodshed is done off-camera. There's even the girl with the big boobies which you know will show them only she has her shower scene but it's all filmed from behind so even there things go wrong.

If you aren't into horror this will have it's scary moments like the elevator and the shower scene but as me, a heavy horror geek it looked like okay, you want to make a cruel horror but you also want teens to see it. So let's cut down on the gore and nudity and gives it a dark atmosphere. The dark didn't feed my hunger.

This is a low budget film about filming a low budget film in an asylum, something that has been done before and more importantly...better. This is not a found footage film, which was what I expected and that is a plus. The asylum has been shut down for only six years, after the director killed himself. It looks old because of pipes breaking causing water damage.

This asylum used experimental water on the patients as part of the government's MKULTRA project. The film takes a long time to build all the characters on the set. It does so in different fashions from dinner conversation to the blond actress (Rebecca Whitehurst) being told, "They're stage directions. You don't read them." There are little tidbits in the dialouge to indicate some level of clever writing. The action builds slow, in fact a little too slow as the first snuffing doesn't happen until 36 minutes into the film. No opening hook with a "6 hours earlier" following the credits.

The film seems to center on Chris the writer (Andy Rudick) and Beth the grip (Victoria Nugent) who in a geeky way like each other but both being too shy to make a move. There is some minor internal conflict, conflict which escalates as the players get exposed to the water. It is just a question as to who becomes the killers and who becomes the "kill-ees."

I thought the scenes were done well. The acting was fairly decent. The film just couldn't put it together and hold your interest. The characters and plot didn't have any hook. Might work as a rental. Not a keeper.

Parental Guide: F-bombs. No sex. No nudity, just Rebecca Whitehurst "side breast"

Attempting to shoot a low-budget horror film, a film crew at an abandoned hospital begin to come under the evil forces that lurk within the building and must try to get out before succumbing to those dangerous forces.

This is a rather disappointing and somewhat problematic effort that really should've been much better than it is. The fact that this one contains some rather impressive elements that should've made this one work wonders is one of it's better elements, as there's a lot to like here. The best feature is the hospital itself, which is par for the course in these types of films, as the look here is rather dirty, dingy and completely covered over with mold, dirt and years of neglect that has that feeling of being completely abandoned and home to abundant evil right from the start. This is the absolutely perfect setting for a film such as this as it absolutely looks the part quite well and certainly seems like the perfect place for somebody to go as mad as they go in here with the main part of this showcasing the staff her succumbing to the whims of the forces around them which really scores quite well here as this manages to feature the kind of actions and attacks that make for quite a thrilling time. The way it manages to include both the hospital attacking the staff as well as the group attacking each other makes for quite thrilling moments as well with this one delivering several incredibly enjoyable scenes in here from the impressive stalking in the corridors to the shock surprise in the boiler and finally the main chase through the different offices that's quite a bit of fun here throughout. However, there's still some big, big problems here that hold this one down somewhat as the first big reason here is the fact that there's just no real action at all in the story. The main focus here is on the movie shoot, itself a huge problem when it's all the behind-the-scenes goings-on without really showing what movie they were filming so it tends to just meander along with hardly any any real focus at all for the majority of it's running time as it leaves out all sorts of potentially interesting moments to spend with all the nonsense backstage dealings like their relationships and such that don't really have any interesting features about them while it just eats up running time. The fact that they're so clueless about the transformations and possessions that have afflicted their friends is none the better, making it seem like they're just completely clueless about the world around them and really deserve what comes their way simply because of what happens to them during the course of this. Finally, the cheap special effects on display really comes back to haunt this one as the deaths are really lame, not all that scary and are quite illuminated in how lame they really are very easily. Such a shame that these flaws ruin what was a potentially enjoyable effort.

Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Nudity and mild drug use.
