FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
JANDCSCOTT_23 I did put spoilers in here as I was writing while watching the film. Please do not read if you want to go in blind (which might not be a bad idea.) Major gore fest – brother gets himself committed to save his sister who attempted suicide. But the Dr. is giving the patients a drug that basically turns them into flesh eating fiends. There are some pretty decent kill scenes (scalpel through the chin) and a Dr gets her arm broken off and then eaten. The acting is actually not that bad – the story is a little lean – no way would a guy be able to get committed that way. But the nympho girl is pretty funny (she basically eats an orderlies penis off – crazy.) The budget is pretty low, but the effects are fairly well done – especially the eyes of the zombies, they get this white iris. I did have to turn away when there was a cat death (hate animal death of any kind.) It really starts turning into this slash as 4 characters are trying to get out of the hospital and the zombies are just coming after them.It seemed that there was a longer period of time before they started changing and then all of a suddenly they seemed to turn extremely fast. I liked the homages to older horror flicks by some names (one of the patients name is Loomis). When I first got it, wasn't really sure what it was going to be but it actually turned out to be quite fun. And there was a machete through the back of the head which was pretty awesome. What I am curious about is actually how it transmits – if you get bit, you turn? But not if you get their blood all over you? They have to climb up this laundry shoot and it seems that the zombies are able to figure out where they are pretty quick and start going to the different shoots. I have been surprised that 3 of them made it this far. And they enter another white room, back into maximum security covered in blood. Another lady actually eating her own intestine. The Dr grabs Dave (Sussman from BBT) and gives him a lobotomy just like that. "He's not dead, just a little less engaged." This movie is not that bad – I really found it quite fun minus a couple of scenes. It helps that there are several actors that I like in other things so I am more apt to enjoy them here I think. The gore is just really well done except some of the blood is a little too red. I'm sad that they did just leave Dave there though, even though he was technically brain dead from the lobotomy, I guess. Throughout the ending, the Dr. is wanting to continue with his research. Definitely not a Hollywood ending-actually found it to be a bit lacking.
eycele The first time I seen this masterpiece I new it was a great movie. Everything about this movie spews out horror and not a lot of movies do that now a days. This movie brings the horror film back to its roots, good bloody gory fun that in this movie is helped along by some twisted looks on how horror should be. Its one of my favorite horror movies and about the only one I can say that is even close to late release that I like enough to write about. I guess If I were to compare it to some other ones Id say a movie like 28 days later maybe, its really on par with it and 28 days later is a great movie, great great. This movie really deserves to be up there with all the other great horror movies like the ring, the scream movies and all of them. You will not want to miss this if your any type of horror fan and if your a B Horror movie fan then this is the best movie you could possibly imagine watching.
Amit K Movie is bad, the direction was poor, the plot was uninteresting.Initially it seems those who turn to zombie like are slow moving and by end they seem to turn fast. The movie is a copy of other many projects like 28 days later etc but was poorly made. It gets real boring and unwatchable after sometime. Those who don't watch much of horror movies might find it okay but the usual horror buffs wont like this sort of crap. Overall the acting was just okay, nothing more than that.The movie is over hyped. A disappointment.I wont recommend it, don't watch. I would give it a generous 3.
Fezz_Head Insanitarium is the best b-movie I have seen ever, and I'm dead serious, no pun intended. The film's strongest point was the storyline. Executed perfectly, not your usual cliché' "kids break into sanitarium for lol's." A young man cons his way into a sanitarium to see his mentally-ill suicidal sister. It is very interesting and grabs you from the start, from here, the movie just roars uphill.Insanitarium's death scenes will leave gore hounds, like myself, crying in awe. Some of this stuff was really awesome. (Ex: Arm broken and torn off.) This is a very well crafted movie and is worth your money.8/10.
