It seems that for every one tolerable "found footage" film there are at least ten terrible efforts. This monstrosity falls squarely in the latter category.A group of six or so douches (not literal douches, but no one to root for, either) set out at an abandoned dormitory in Chicago to make a documentary about mass murderer Richard Speck, who killed eight nurses in one night in 1966. This isn't just any documentary, they want to capture the ghost of Speck on video (he died in prison almost twenty years ago), and luckily have the necessary ghost hunting equipment like EVP devices, sensitive microphones, infrared video recording technology, and, most importantly, a remote-control toy truck named Clyde with a teeny-tiny camera on it.I'm not going to bother you with characters' names and such (one poor guy is killed within thirty seconds of the film's beginning) because the film is shot so badly I couldn't tell half the cast apart. The two dude cameramen look exactly alike, as do two blonde female crew members. One scene has a camera guy and one of the blondes exploring on their own, and I had no clue who I was looking at. The special effects include lots of blood smudges, and people getting dragged away by unseen forces (could we call a moratorium on THAT?). There is no credited cast or crew, since this was "found at the scene," and somehow expertly cobbled together by the Chicago Police Department's in-house found footage editing task force.Richard Speck was a disgusting piece of humanity. Google his name, and thousands of articles pop up detailing his crimes, and his shocking existence in jail. An infamous video surfaced years ago showing him performing oral sex on another inmate, taking drugs, and sporting female-like breasts thanks to smuggled hormones; all while being incarcerated. It seems the screenwriter couldn't even get the basic story of the crime right, and huge errors abound throughout the film. Getting actors to improvise can sometimes work, but here everyone screams at each other trying to be heard, resulting in something much less than Altmanesque. This technique is simply lazy writing. Giving people a general direction ("you're scared") with little characterization, then yelling "action" is obviously not working in this genre, and I once sat through a film called "Amber Alert" that illustrates this point even better. There is a distasteful scene involving spectral rape that would serve as a low point in any film, much less a cheap found footage horror flick that somehow found its way onto a streaming service. The only plus is the abandoned hospital (in Los Angeles) that serves as the film's location."100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck" is pure garbage. The explanation of the title is too stupid to be believed, and so is the rest of the film.

Another "found footage" movie with a couple of scares in it. Really not all that bad; just a little irritating. But there will be a couple of scenes that get a rise out of you; meaning you'll jump or flinch. A group of amateurish paranormal seekers just for a thrill get more than they ask for. They return to the scene of Richard Speck's heinous slaying of eight young women. Trying to rouse the ghost of the killer, they taunt him by comparing his body count to that of serial killers Dahmer and Gacy. Speck or not...one angry spirit is angered and no member of the investigators is safe.Cast includes: Hayley Derryberry, Tony Besson, Jennifer Robyn Jacobs, Clarence Harlem Jr., Mike Holley and Jackie Moore. Plus the voices of Steve Bencich and Nancy Leopardi.

There's a good thing/bad thing dynamic to Instant Netflix, good in that all the dubious Asylum 'films' go on it before too long which means aside from the monthly fee, one doesn't have to spend a dime on this crap. The bad news is what you save in money, you lose in sanity. So a toss-up if you will.This particular pile of excrement is one of the endless "found footage" movies that are as numerous as they are atrocious. A few friends go to the boarding house that Richard Speck murdered in half a century ago only to be stalked by a poltergeist. Yawn. Bad all the way around. The fact that its unwatchable is redundant as its an Asylum film.

Whether you're a fan of paranormal stories, whether it's a cheesy SyFy show, the trilogy's of PA's, PE's or the half dozen other films that have copied off this exact sort of theme, you have to be getting a bit bored with it. If this was released five years ago it would have stood it's ground, but instead it's just another average "found footage" compilation. The fact that they didn't roll any credits to give it more of a real feel only succeeded in hiding the real names of most of the untalented cast members.It started as usual with an overnight TV ghost hunt in the abandoned building where Richard Speck murdered 7 young nurses. It contained no CGI effects & contained only two scenes that would be considered gory(both of which are not necessary,plenty of good scary films without either). Some of the actors where annoying, untalented & stupid but that seems to be OK in a film where you already know of their imminent demise. The "apparition" isn't seen at any time & does things that would make a demon jealous, the use of strong physical force is somewhat out of place in a haunted house, but without it the film would be more of a sleep aid than a Thriller/Horror and action/violence is always a welcome site for me in the "haunted" genre. At times it was creepy & if you are a big fan of the sub'genre you may like it quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. It's good for a 3.8/10. Is it worth $3.49 on PPV? If you are really into the things in my first sentence than maybe, otherwise no way. Oh & you have to love the other 10/10 star review here, must be the first "found footage" film they have seen over in Bollywood. IF YOU want great found footage watch V/H/S(2012) nuff said!
