About this movie

When a group of young filmmakers decide to visit an abandoned psychiatric hospital to investigate the terrifying rumours that surround an institution that was infamous for its inhumane treatment of its patients, they have no idea of the horror they will uncover. Ward after ward was used for a variety of invasive surgical procedures, some necessary, some less so. As their exploration takes them deeper into the bowels of the building, they find themselves trapped by supernatural forces that have no intention of letting them escape. As the night unfolds, they soon find that there is a fate worse than death. This is their footage. Everything is real. - Revolver Entertainment Revolver Entertainment

Ratings and reviews

The whole "Blair Witch" concept is outdone. Although the setting looked eerie, it had no real atmosphere due to the lack of character building and shaky camera work that mostly made it hard for you to follow the story or see anything that could be used to help set up the story. Oliver Stone provided a nice ghost story for his son's film but it didn't make sense to incorporate it into this move since his story was about camping and this film was about a hospital. Disappointing.

One of the best movies I have ever seen
