Monster Inside: America's most extreme haunted house

This is just about people's regrets about decisions they made, they all wanted fame & this is just another way for them to get it. This is the problem with society today, these people signed a waiver and now they're regretting it. It achieved everything it said on the tin, these people thought they were hardcore but as soon as they found out that they weren't they're complaining. It's like someone that decided to take hard drugs then blames society and everyone else for their decisions. Nobody forced them to take part but their hunger for celebrity was so strong that they were willing to do anything. Nobody to blame but themselves.

This movie is VERY insightful to the true horror and torture that happens at McKamey Manor. It shows just how horrible of a human being Russ truly is and I hope people watch it before they consider attending this so called "haunt". This Is NOT a haunted house. This is a torture chamber. This is a place where if one of the "actors" is having a bad day, they can essentially torture you to death. You sign a waiver basically saying if you die, they are NOT responsible. Once again, do NOT attend this "Haunted House" , It is NOT HAUNTED HOUSE ! I will share a yearly reminder on facebook that this is not a haunted house just in case any of my friends are interested in going.

It's easy to brush aside people's kinks for masochism as insignificant, though it is a growing segment of the world's population. This stuff is now, more relevant than ever, as in many cases, the payoff isn't always sexual arousal but a broader, more intense high. Having experienced at least a couple of haunted house attractions myself (including the one at Dubai Mall), this documentary seemed right up my alley, and to a large extent, it is. I wasn't exactly prepared for some of the graphic imagery, but it sure did its job of spooking me, even just by viewing it from a third-person perspective.

Russ McKamey, the owner and manager of this supposedly extreme survival-horror attraction called McKamey Manor (that comes with a 40-page waiver), started the venture for reasons of entertainment. That it gradually turned into a sort of sadistic game for Russ was probably the larger intent behind all of it. We wouldn't always get to know both sides, but Russ comes across as someone who'd go to any extent to hold up his "extreme" claims, including possibly destroying people psychologically (and physically). As I mentioned in the beginning, it also makes sense to understand why people voluntarily sign up for these attractions when they fully know that they'll experience terror, pain, and stress. In that regard, we get to hear from a few experts in the field of psychology.

I fully understand why Russ didn't participate in the documentary, as it's not portraying him in the best light.. and for valid reasons. While I don't want to completely side with the victims here, I felt they were emotionally on the weaker side somewhat, and Russ may have taken advantage of that. He's got a penchant for being the "dominator", and that's discernible in every video of his. Also, to see that there are hundreds (or thousands) of people waiting to participate in Russ' extreme experience, I'm sure at least a few of them would be thinking twice after seeing this piece.

Great documentary showing what a low life Russ truly is. All of the followers in his cult will still support him no matter what he does, and that's sad. I'm hoping people see him for what he truly is, and that's a monster who needs to be put away.

The fact that he didn't even want to participate in this documentary just shows you that he knows what he's doing is wrong. I hope this gets enough backlash that it'll finally shut down this "haunt" for good.

If you're still on the fence about Russ and his torture trailer (I mean, let's call it what it really is), then do you own research. Don't listen to his cult.

This movie gives an accurate portrait of the monster that is Russ McKamey. I was involved with him in 2015-2017ish until his actors all left him in San Diego, ushering the true end of McKamey Manor. This movie shows you the real side of Russ, a man who is not what he makes people think he is when you first meet him.

My experiences with him 100% line up with the manipulative scumbag he is presented as in this film. I'm glad these people, some being my friends, were strong enough to tell their stories, which match hundreds more people's experiences with Russ. It's sad to see Will (W. P.) West represent the "good side" of immersive horror though, as he puts on productions he himself would "never go through" because he was abused as a kid (a bizarre explanation of his that he believes justifies his lack of ethics). You should never put anyone through an experience you yourself aren't willing to test and understand.

Additionally he worked with Russ on a show of his after the actors had left him and when I publicly criticized him, he simply said we should all get along and just work with each other. Sorry, but he is simply not admired by many of us in the community.

Great watch, highly recommended, and be aware that many of the low ratings on here and Rotten Tomatoes are being bombed by Russ' remaining fans. Final sad attempts from a (very literally) brain damaged man with a family who loathes him.
