I wanted this movie to be good. I really did! I enjoyed movies like The Last Exorcism, the Paranormal Activity's, and other documentary-style cinematography films. The character development is extremely slow and the acting is borderline horrendous. The special effects could have been much better! I generally enjoy low-budget films and can usually overlook mediocre acting. Unfortunately, this was tested my tolerance for both. I did make myself finish the film hoping the end would justify the effort of making myself sit through it. Not so much. In a nutshell, a wealthy gentleman sends two teams, with opposing views/opinions (one scientifically driven and the other spiritually motivated) into a haunted insane asylum and wants to see what they find. Sounds like a pretty legit plot to me. I was in! This is as good as it got for me.....the plot. I was very displeased with this movie.

I enjoyed this movie because of some of the original plot lines. The acting is much better than I anticipated. I felt that the character development is paced appropriately and not too much is given away before the climax. I don't mind low-budget films as long as the flow of the movie goes well and they are not too cheesy. For me, this film did a good job in both of those areas. I don't think I could give it higher marks because there are parts of the story line that seem a little shallow/empty. I won't give specifics for obvious reasons. I'd like to see Katie Parker in a few more films to see her diversity. I think she did a pretty decent job in this film. I'm glad I took a chance on this film. I was not disappointed.
