    Waste of Time

    Before watching this movie, I looked at reviews on here and other websites. Pretty much all of them were awful, claiming it to be a low- budget, less than satisfactory movie. However, I was skeptical a movie could be as bad as people claimed. Besides, I give most films a chance and see the good side of most.

    Saying that, after I proceeded to put it on and watch it, I sat with my mouth open, marveling at just how not-scary a "horror" could be. It's an 18-cert but, if I'm brutally honest, a 12 would be pushing it.

    There were next to no scary, suspense moments in it, the plot was so simple a child could have written it and I thought it was indescribable. Usually, I'd say it's just not for me, but I couldn't see anybody enjoying this movie and recommending it as a respectable horror or thriller.

    I was really disappointed but at least I'll take more notice of cynical reviews now- don't waste your time with this.

    Undecided

    Far from being a critic of this movie, I'm even MORE of a critic of the asinine people attempting to criticize a movie when they can't even spell or use sentence structure. I know I'm not perfect, but DAMN PEOPLE!! At LEAST learn the language if you are going to make comments about a movie!! While the movie itself is not a master work of art, at least the movie tries to have a decent plot twist unlike some of these high budget pieces of garbage that are made by studios with huge wallets. And also unlike the high budget crappy movies, the low budget movies at least try to have original ideas, even if some are dangerously close to clones of other movies. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good or how bad a movie is, it matters what the movie is to the VIEWER. And again - LEARN HOW TO TYPE IN UNDERSTANDABLE, STRUCTURED SENTENCES, ya twits.

    Worst film I ever worked on

    All the people involved with this has to be the worst crew EVER.I never did get to see this but just being there was enough to keep me far away.I was begged to do this 3 days before production began and needing to go on location.I was able to find an assistant who had no experience in the industry. He turned out to be the best thing I could have ever asked for Michael was his name.. We remained friends after I got fired, first time for me. I had two friends at the time both Michaels. Michael # 1 died of a heart attack and shortly after Michael # 2, My assistant hung himself over a girl. It was a horrible time.

    Poor

    I thought this movie was going to be one of those Hand-Held Camera but however they try to make it out it is like ones of those movies.

    I thought the plot was okay, they had decent idea of twist in this movie, even thought twist is very predicable from start of the movie.

    Number of people go to this building to film before they go into the building this tall guy tells not to go in and yet he goes in there with them.

    Thought out the movie loud noise and people screaming and the mad doctor is stalking this place after all these year!

    One by one they all getting killed by this made doctor in this haunted place, torture scenes were really badly done too.

    The movie was very boring and wasn't actually stopped watching the movie, while cleaning up and having this on in the back ground for most of time.

    The acting in this movie was really bad, it had laughing for most of the times, when the over act the lines
