First, this movie is definitely worth watching. It is a lower-budget ghost-hunter movie that really exceeds expectations. It is really well acted with only a few scenes as the exception. It has a proper dose of humor throughout as well. At first I thought the lead guy was going to be like a poor man's Josh Gates, but soon realized I was wrong and his acting was spot-on. The other characters were enjoyable to watch also, and did a fine job. Don't get me wrong, there are some scenes that highlight the modest budget they must have been on, but on the whole it was a fun film to watch. The scares were there in the 2nd half mostly but the whole thing was done as well as could be expected. I took note that it was a good script if not always delivered the best way. It surprised me how much I enjoyed it. So if you're looking for horror and have seen most of what's out there, don't miss this one. One of the better portrayals of ghost hunting, the way it's done nowadays, that I've seen.

Low budget horror that follows the crew of a TV ghost-hunting show as they investigate a haunted prison. Not 'found-footage', thankfully. No 'name actors', other than Dee Wallace, who gets an early scene as a foul-mouthed, ball-busting network exec. The location (the real life, closed Missouri State Penitentiary) is terrific, the cast are far better than normal for this sort of thing, and whilst the story is pretty generic, they do go for a 'twist'. Unfortunately, the CGI looks cheap, the music jars sometimes, and - despite the great setting - there isn't much tension. 5/10.

This film starts off a little slow, but I was pleased to see that it wasn't a shaky cam, found footage movie, so I kept with it and was fairly pleased.

The middle portion of the film gets downright scary as the ghosts make their presence known. Unfortunately it can't sustain that fifteen minutes of intensity through the third act, as the ghosts take a backseat to the main characters' attempts to get out of the prison.

The ending redeems the slow portion that preceded it somewhat. Decent acting from most of the cast helps this low budgeter that is worth a look for fans of the genre.
