Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

What a great idea for a movie, a supernatural horror flick, that was actually filmed at Alcatraz prison. There were a dozen ways to make this film work, even on a shoestring budget, unfortunately they didn't use any of them. The story begins with a construction crew doing renovations on the old prison, which is now a national park. The team uncovers a sealed off room and when they begin digging, they find human remains. Did the body belong to a guard or a prisoner? No, they belong to Native American, who would have died long before the prison opened, but was somehow found inside this room. After a long period of non-sense, it is discovered that the body is cursed, and causes anyone who comes in contact with it, to go on a killing spree. This could have been a great mystery about some crime at the prison that was never known or solved. Maybe it could have been a good ghost story, but no, it had to be some weird possession story, that made no sense what-so-ever. The story starts out interesting, but quickly becomes a complete joke. The writing is horrendous and performed by a less than adequate cast. The only name of recognition was Jose Solano, a soap actor, who was on Baywatch the last couple of seasons. For some reason, he is in a wheelchair and does nothing but joke about being crippled. Sometimes really bad Horror films can get away with cheesy acting and a bad story, as long as they make you laugh, but there is nothing funny about this movie. Even though it has a creepy cover and was filmed in a really cool location, Curse of Alcatraz fails to deliver and is a complete waste of time.

I had very low expectations for this film. After all, it was released in 2007 and it is already free on Hulu. How good can it be? Getting ready to open Alcatraz to tourists, they find a walled-in area and a skeleton, While investigating, Ranger Vince (William Van Noland) cuts his finger on the teeth. They bring in some grad students to investigate the body, and Vince is slowly getting sicker. Soon the murders begin.We manage to get an very quick eyeful of Florida native and Survivor participant Jessie Camacho, but it is a body double unfortunately. That's it for the thrills; the rest is chills.A little science and a little superstition, it was interesting to a point, but largely unfulfilling.

In 2006 I visited San Francisco and took the tour of Alcatraz and enjoyed seeing this film which had great photography of the buildings inside and outside.One of the guards on Alcatraz found an old relic in the lower sections of Alcatraz and called in the proper authorities to determine just what it is. This relic reveals itself to be an Indian from the 1800's and as the story advances, it reveals some very dark and dangerous secrets.In this film there is also women involved in the investigation and the men and women become very close.Not the best of films, but very entertaining. Enjoy

I thought it would be a typical monster flick, with a bunch of people stuck on The Rock and getting picked off, one-by-one. Turned out to be more thoughtful, suspenseful and interesting than I imagined, and the setting of Alcatraz made it all the more creepy.You have to pay attention to follow what's happening to these people, and who the killer or killers are. The history about the island is pretty interesting too, which is weaved throughout the film.It's a low budget movie, so some of the acting is so-so, but there are several stand-outs(like the guy in the wheel chair, the professor, and the girl who played Tiffany.) Not your typical horror film, but definitely with its frightful moments, and the whole "trapped" feeling of Alcatraz (which they actually shot parts of the film on).
