Good start, but then it gets ruined

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Everything written about this movie in the other user comments is correct. The acting is good (Jeremy Minns, Terry Aaron), bad (Kiki Kebdrick, Azucena Duran), non-existent (Uri Geller), and over the top (Jared Morgan, Harold Gasnier). The music is very good; the editing is not. The story holds interest but is never fully explained. The dubbing is poor but not really intrusive because the dialogue is so trite. So how did I get through this movie? Well, I didn't get (until they tell you at the very last minute) why the narrator was twenty years older than his on screen version. I didn't get how, at the end, the daughter was so involved when she was never before in the sanitarium. So, I watched it 2x FF. (I had to quickly relearn my Spanish to do this as there are no English subtitles.) This enabled me to enjoy it...somewhat.

I know for a fact this was SHOT on £3,000 which is nothing and parts had to be dubbed and done again costing £7,000 in total. The whole story and idea of it is a pretty damn good one, the dialogue is not brilliant in places, but it is a good film tho. Not the best film obviously, but i liked it. It shows what can be done with feck all money. The acting isn't great, but you cant afford top actors when you have no money, the actors conveyed the story well enough to be watched. Uri geller....foock man what the hell....oh well. The film was not a Hollywood multimillion dollar project, it was a few thousand pounds shot on 16mm, so you cant expect the best things ever from it. Its not a bad film none the less. If you like your small budget Indy style films, and know what to expect from them then you will be a lot less critical about this film than others. Not really a scary film, some bits may make you jump, but it needs a little bit of thinking to understand the film properly, but it is good don't get me wrong. Mr Roberts new film forest of the damned is supposed to be a huge jump from this one. I am looking forward to it muchly. And I hear from certain sources that the film in the works station 13 is going to be much much bigger budget and will be one to really look out for. Watch this film, and bare in mind it was shot on almost nothing, and is a quite early attempt at film making by the director(s) watch the other newer films and watch the progression. wow i wrote a lot.

If this film was an intentional spoof, this film may have been watchable. What i find infuriating is that it was a serious horror flick. What a joke.Of course, having a low budget will give complications and limit ones vision, but this film made no sense, the lighting was poor the sound was at a low and I have never seen such a bunch of wooden talentless actors. I'm just puzzled on how a film like this gets commissioned. The plot was weak, it seemed to be based on a computer game as issues within the film were vague and when you feel there going to get to the point, it trails off into nowhere. The camera work was sleepy, this is due to the directors lack of direction. How many wide shots would you like in a sequence. Far too many were used. i felt you are cheated out of beats because of thisTo top it off, it was dubbed. A very poor attempt. I don't find the low budget to be a valid excuse as university projects are of better quality. If I handed this into my tutor. It would be a first class fail.Uri Gellar? Get a grip.

I really enjoyed this - well written, low budget horror/thriller. It was just a great story and the ending defies belief - old mental patients dancing with ballons to gothic music, it really has to be seen to be believed!
