THE LOST EPISODE is another in a long line of no-budget found-footage ghost films set in abandoned asylums, following on from the likes of the GRAVE ENCOUNTERS films and EPISODE 50. This one's the worst yet, despite the presence of cult horror favourite Michael Rooker (HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER) working as both director and guest star.
This film features a muddled narrative set in both past and present, repeatedly swapping between the two time zones. One narrative involves a film crew shooting a documentary in the asylum, the other involves the stereotypical group of teenagers out for a thrill. Lots of lame wandering around and godawful dialogue scenes are interspersed with some extraordinarily lame deaths.
The movie's cast is appalling, with not one actor standing out from the quagmire. Rooker wisely hides his face behind a mask for the most part, but as a director he displays no discernible talent whatsoever; stick to what you're good at, dude, i.e. stay in FRONT of the camera where we want to see you! Needless to say there's nothing else worth mentioning here, because it's an entirely worthless film and comes close to meriting the dreaded 'one star' rating.

If yoy have someone in your life that you really. really and I mean REALLY dislike, invite them to your house and make them watch this HORRIBLE excuse for a movie!
They will exit running out the door yelling NNNNOOOOOOO!

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
2 out 10

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.
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.
