Haunted Hospital

From the trailer, it looks very interesting and scary, but over the course of the film I discovered that it's a garbage and boring cliché film, pseudofoundfootage, with a script written by a sequel.

Events at the beginning of this film happen at such a fast pace that, coupled with the exuberant characters, things seem as if they might become exhausting. Thankfully, this calms down a little as 'The Sanctuary' progresses.

I enjoyed this German found footage film a great deal. The fact that the plot revolves around a group of notorious You Tubers gives the usual trappings - given away by the film's alternative 'Haunted Hospital' title - individuality, as well as a good reason for them to continue filming no matter what.

The twist at the end is a big one, and asks a lot of the viewer - some will like it, some will hate it. I thought it made a lot of sense, and was genuinely unexpected. My score is 8 out of 10.

A movie with such a good potential but sadly it ended to be really bad. The action takes too long to settle, the acting is bad, and actors are just caricatures of how someone you who don't understand this generation and internet views it. The movie try so hard to drown you with it's message " bouhou young people are stupid and they watch stupid things that some stupids ones do just to be famous" god knows this is so annoying. And this plot twist, a good idea, easy but not previsible but they failed it, cause of that goddamn kid's acting, 0 credibility. Plus they try to fix it but for a final it's too long and have absolutely no sense, at the end you're like " wtf ? ". It is sad, such a good idea wasted like a lot before this one. Watch it if you want to spend your time, for me, I'm not watching it again. One that you forget easily.

Here's The Lowedown on "Heilstatten: Haunted Hospital" (NR - 2018 - DVD)

Lang: German Genre: Horror/POV My Score: 5.3

Cast=4 Acting=6 Plot=7 Ending=5 Story=3 Scare=3 Jump=5 F/X=6 POV=7 Twist=7

At an abandoned sanctuary near Berlin, a group of YouTubers illegally enter for a 24-hour challenge they hope will go viral. They learn too soon that they are not alone and not welcome.

"Rule number one: no Internet while we're here." I thought this was pretty good, but only because I am a POV horror junkie. This movie would only appeal to those that would think the same way. Even still, there was a solid concept (maybe because YouTubers die) and a good twist (you have to pay attention). If you're desperate, this might be worth a look.

The movie is a found footage horror, and a lot of the movie rehashes what has already done before (but that's the case with all found footage horror movies nowadays). If you don't like found footage movies, then don't watch this one, obviously.

But if you're like me and love found footage horror, then you may be interested in this movie, and some of the scares are truly ok. My biggest issue is that the characters are really annoying, which began to wear on me around the 45-minute mark: the women just kept screaming and crying, the guys kept fighting and bickering with each other. With better characters, I might've been inclined to give this movie more praise.
