This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

not horrible nor great

Absolutely Fantastic

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Condemned is a really well-done trash horror movie (more like a thriller though, than a comedy), one of the kind. And by well done I mean good camera work, good acting, great practical special effects. Maybe except blood splashes, which are CGI, and honestly look really bad and fake.There also are some unexpected creative touches like opening stop- motion sequence or "living" comic book.The script rocks. All characters are f/cked up, all of them at once are the crazy unpredictable mix and it's great. You have two muscular Nazi BDSM men, maniac psychotic Jew, black gay transgender, drug Chinese dealer who tries to talk in Russian (fails miserably though to do so) and junkies. Main hero and its girlfriend are the only somewhat adequate characters in this movie. All of them are squatters who live in an abandoned house (with lights and water though, which somehow are provided by some old guy and everyone buys him stuff in gratitude for that). Under the influence of toxic drug waste they start to kill each other and that's what the movie is all about.

This horror film takes place in New York where a condemned building is actually home to junkies, cookers and all kinds of wonderful people who want to be off the grid and not pay rent. Something isn't right in this building as we see toxic waste being dumped into the sewers from the guy making drugs as well as all other disgusting fluids being added in the pipes from contributing tenants. The result of these combinations are creating tumors at first then things get worse.At first you think you're watching a drama about really screwed up people living together under the rug so to speak. It then takes a 180 turn when people full of pus oozing sores and yellow goop running out their mouths start killing each other because once they are infected it takes a bit to kill them. You start to see the Troma inspired Toxie as well as a Slime City (1988) feel in this one but really well done. One scene has a junkie girl trying to put her boyfriends entrails back in so they can go back upstairs to get high. If you can handle projectile vomits and people melting from the inside out you'll like this one.Nothing really new here just some so toxic fun so watch what you put down your drain.

This movie was a complete waste of a Friday evening. Bad special effects, bad college film on a low budget. Don't waste your downtime watching it. Started out as a pretty promising story, good rich girl, hot boyfriend and nice friends. Went downhill about 25 minutes into the movie. Disgusting scenes which some of you probably will enjoy tho. I would guess that fear the walking dead was an inspiration. And i usually like this kind of movies, but, if you don't have the money to make it good. Then do not make it. Unless you have a really good story. If you still decide to waste your time, make sure to not eat anything during.

The first part of the movie is pretty neat and weird. With it's own dark atmosphere which is great and entertaining, stands out in the crowd. But it goes south really fast. In the half way through the movie and the fun and eerie part becomes collage-grade-bad-special-effects slasher flick in the dorms. What a loss.I don't understand where's the need to do the same thing that everyone in the horror film industry has already done before. If you don't have the budget stick to the story. If you have no story entertain with good effects. They had such a good beginning with pure weirdness that temps you to take a shower after watching this - and that is rare find these days.
