Sanatorium

Truly nothing new in the found footage genre. After all these years it's getting to seem like they all blend together. This movie starts out like many before and is a bit monotonous at times as well as over dramatic. However, as the movie builds there are some quite good scenes to satisfy both the found footage fans and horror fans alike. This especially goes for the ending.

There are a lot of found footage horrors these days, and this isn't the best but is very far from the worst.

The actors do a pretty decent job on what must have been a hard shoot, there is a great set and pretty well executed scares without trying to show too much.

It's not the most original but does a decent job on a very low budget.

Worth a watch in the dark over Halloween.

This film could have had a x or higher rating if they had put more scares in the film. My partner and I were ying through the movie which part could have had a scary part in it. We both thought the same thing that this film was okay and it had a lot of missed opportunities. If I was the film director, next time I would put in more scare end e and try and get some people, not family and friends who would say it's good and have them tech and ask them their opinions. This is the way for the director to go. Only a four as I found this film could have been a lot, lot better.

Otherwise, not much, if anything, new here. Paranormal and found footage movies need to come up with something new and/or original instead of the same tired tropes. I've seen "reality" shows more engaging. I watched it through to the end hoping to not be disappointed. It's not a terrible watch for a low-budget flick but, I would only recommend it if you are in need of something to occupy your time or background noise.

Why does IMDB require so many characters?! Wouldn't 250 be just as efficient? I'm not sure what else to say so, I'm just trying to meet the minimum requirement for this review..

I had no interest in seeing this movie. I actually skipped watching it for about 3 days, until I finally decided I was bored and I had nothing to lose by investing about 90 mins. I'm happy to say my time was not wasted. Anytime I hear a movie is based in a sanatorium - and quite a few horror movies have been - the end result has not been pleasing to me. This movie, however, did a great job with the story. The acting was very good, though I have to admit Mark was really getting on my nerves for about the first 30 minutes.

Most of the movie, like other found footage films, is shot with camcorders. Usually, I find that to be an annoying, out of date, and rather obvious sign that the movie is low budget. Some are lower budget than others. I don't know what they spent on this movie, but the special effects were fun and not overdone. As I said, the acting was good. The storyline, while not original, was executed nicely. I don't have anything to complain about with this film. Easily, it's a movie I'll watch again at some point. The end scene was gross, but necessary to keep in step with the story.

I gave this a 7-star rating because of all the above. I recommend this to anyone who likes found-footage horror films that are done very well.
