Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Dylan Scott Vox Finally, a little self-awareness. Oct 19, 2018 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 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. Rated: 1/5 Sep 8, 2011 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh While it's not the worst Paranormal Activity ripoff, there's still nothing worth watching in this throwaway found-footage CGI-fest. Rated: 2/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 3/4 Sep 21, 2022 Full Review Chris Holt Starburst A whole heap of scary fun. Rated: 7/10 Mar 30, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

David L Very pleasantly surprised at how good this movie was. I wasn’t expecting much from it but really enjoyed it. From the start I thought I knew where the story was going and what would happen but the filmmakers really took it the extra mile. Nothing mind-blowing here but a really solid horror movie. Just goes to show that a low budget doesn’t have to mean bad. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review Brian M What a missed opportunity to do something interesting with a cool premise! In the final 30 minutes or so the plot kind of stalls in favor of gimmicks and jump scares. It actually became quite the endurance test as I waited for it to end. The acting is pretty bad, not that the actors had much to work with. Indeed, the script is the real issue here—you could almost make a drinking game based on the number of times a character screams “what the fuck?” or some variation of that. What a shame. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Agnes F This is a great film. Yes, amateur and some of the acting is sub-par but the story line is freaking scary. Some of the scenes having seen them more than once, still give me goosebumps. The concept may not be original but the scares are there. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Daniel D This movie is CRIMINALLY underrated. Is it on the level of The Exorcist or Hereditary? Of course not, however, it's not trying to be one of those movies. There are more than enough genuine scares, the setting is definitely creepy, and the cast is likable enough to make this worth a watch. I love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review GABRIEL S Beautiful horror film in mockumentary style and on the theme of the Paranormal. Truly a great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review L S All the usual thrills and chills of a found footage. Nothing new and some borderline hammy performances. But, it's actually quute good. Worth a go. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review Read all reviews
