Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 06/04/2020
The filmmakers toss subtlety out the window in favor of fun, in your face chills that stick their landing. They also know how to stretch their meager budget; the ghosts of past patients in this asylum play a major role in inducing goosebumps. Go to Full Review Dylan Scott Vox 10/19/2018
Finally, a little self-awareness. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 09/08/2011
1/5
The filmmakers seem unaware that they're beating a dead horse. As the uniformly annoying characters stumble around, screaming and cursing, we don't give a hoot for their survival. Go to Full Review Sydney Lee Horror Movie Talk Dec 4
7/10
The pacing is good and the scares are effective even on a repeat watch... All in all, it is a good scary movie, it’s a fun time, but as you watch it multiple times it gets less effective. Go to Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh 09/20/2023
2/5
While it's not the worst Paranormal Activity ripoff, there's still nothing worth watching in this throwaway found-footage CGI-fest. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 09/21/2022
3/4
The procession of cliché scenes is presented with an undeniable amount of horrific energy, marked by some interesting changes in the setting and creepy creature design. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Idodeclareindeed B @Idodeclareindeed Jan 4 SO frustrating because it could have been really good. The setting, atmosphere, set design are all really strong (particularly at the very end) but there are two big problems: the movie tries to go for a slow burn...sort of slowly burns, then "burns" and keeps "burning" aka using up every scare tactic available in the deck of cards until they're out. TC's character, line delivery, behavior and dialogue carried the movie through the slow burn portion but the other actors were really bad. They could have easily cut 15-20 minutes, probably more. Gonna check out Session 9 and see if it's better. See more Chris P Dec 12 My favorite found footage movie. Is it perfect? No. But it did scare the s**t out of me. My favorite part is that not only did location seem to change but time seemed to be impacted as well. Watch with friends. Enjoy! See more davee e @speechguyusa Dec 7 Not a bad FF movie. It’s prob worth a watch if a fan of the genre. Reminded me a lot of Paranormal Activity. Pretty cool ending. See more Lee E Nov 29 This movie is a great low budget Found Footage horror but it dose lack some in the scare factor with some of the scares falling off. One of the main factors they use is how it is very similar set up to The Blair Witch Project. This movie is worth a watch but be weary of it. See more Gabriel T @GabrielFagundes Nov 9 It had its chilling moments, but it has many defects: some extra annoying characters, half of the jump scares didn't work, and it makes you beg for the ending See more SKIBIDI POMNI G Nov 2 Tengo mucho o muchas cosas que alardear; felicitar y premiar acerca de esta película. Pero me quedaría corto decir que al ser una de las primeras películas found fottage que he visto de pequeño, fue una de las que mejor supo encasillarse en el su ambiente y que mejor pudo mantenerme con la piel de gallina en todo el transcurso, gloriosamente, pesé al bajo recurso que tenían para una película de este estilo.
