Where do I start with this one? There is no doubt that this is one of the worst pieces of trash I have ever seen. No, I'm not saying that because I disliked it a little and I'm definitely not exaggerating. This is on my list of top 5 worst films I have ever seen. The production values are absolutely TERRIBLE on the Region 1 DVD. I had my speakers on full volume and could barely make out what was going on. It was so full of static that it made me wonder if there was something wrong with my television. The visual aspect of the film is awful as well. It looks as though it was filmed on a Viewmaster.It's hard to comment on other aspects of the movie like acting, simply because it's difficult to get past the disgraceful audio/visual quality. The storyline, however, is so convoluted and ridiculous that my head began to spin. If you can understand what's going on, or care enough to know what's going on, then you deserve a medal.I see several 10/10 rated reviews and I can't help but think we're being duped. There is absolutely NO way that this film can be rated that high. I respect others' opinions, but these people MUST be associated with the film in one way or another.It's utterly disgusting that trash like this gets released. People, such as myself, rent or buy stuff like this expecting a decent film and end up with a $20 frisbee. Stop releasing garbage like this! It's a disgrace to the horror genre and its fans. We should use films like these to torture Osama bin Laden if we ever find him.
... View MoreI really enjoyed this - well written, low budget horror/thriller. It was just a great story and the ending defies belief - old mental patients dancing with ballons to gothic music, it really has to be seen to be believed!
... View MoreThe artwork on the box that this DVD came in was infinitely more entertaining than the film (using that term loosely) itself.I feel as though the creators of this film had a very good Stephen King type idea, but miserably failed at making it into a watchable movie.Great story. Poor acting and poor filming, perhaps due to a poor budget? Maybe someone out there will see this movie and re-create it to it's full potential...
... View MoreGoodness where do i start. Should i first mention this film's absolute inability to be coherent or maybe i should lament upon some truly awful wooden acting(especially Uri Geller's 'star' turn). Did i mention that the special effects are so side splittingly ridiculous that for a minute i seriously considered that this film might have been mislabelled and was actually intending to be a comedy? The basic plot is an unoriginal tale of strange goings on in an asylum, a new drug is being tested out and its introduction has coincided with a few gruesome(and gratuitously paraded)deaths. The faults that i have already referred to, along with some truly awful dubbing and a complete lack of a set budget(they must have spent the money on Geller's fee)destroy what little chance this film did have of creating any sort of atmosphere.Save your money and leave this one for geeky medical students or hermits who would have no idea what a good film was if it slapped them in the face
