Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

innocuous "You kids have done and excellent job...except for the maggots." Up until the priest says this, you might actually think that this film is trying to take itself seriously.This is a fairly enjoyable film. The SciFi channel shows it on a regular basis and it is a whole order of magnitude better and more competently made than, say, "Intermedio" or "Shapeshifter".One irritating thing about this film is that, being a B-film, there's no sanitized overdubbed version. Since there's a lot of profanity, you get these ridiculous gaps in the conversations that make you think you're on a cell phone. SciFi will gladly show you knives penetrating flesh, spurting blood, rolling heads, and entrails, but you sure don't want to be exposed to the F-word.Also, like most teen movies, there are a lot of naked boobs. The "Blur Squad" probably had to work weekends to get this one ready for TV.But at least the color balance is consistent and the editing isn't making you scratch your head. (In "Intermedio", for example, the director wanted to show characters going back the way they came in a crawlspace under a house. To do this, the film was simply reversed from the previous scene, resulting in all the writing on the characters' t-shirts being reversed as well. Lesson from film school...don't put any writing in scenes you're going to flip into a mirror image.) Worth watching on a Sunday morning.

yamcha198 this is a pitiful movie. most B-movies, at least on script have some good things about them, but this isn't a B-movie, its worse, its a Z-movie... the story is full of holes, the acting is bad. Also, the budget(or lack there of) shows, there are several scenes in which one would think that they would just write out for budget reasons. The scenes involving guns are laughable, it seems they used a cap gun. Several of my friends have made movies with a handi-cam and no budget, which have featured better Special effects The writing is horrible, and the characters(as they are introduced as) are all worn out stereotypes. Do your self a favor and not rent this pile.

capkronos Forced to do community service, five juvenile delinquents are chosen by some sketchy clergymen to help clean up a large abandoned former mental hospital. They includes gang-banger Tyson (Howard Williams, Jr.), goofy horn-dog Phillip (Adam Huss), bitchy slut Claudia (Hanna Lee), nice girl Tamara (Monique Deville) and moody goth girl Alicia (Michelle Acuna), who may even have another connection to the story altogether. Oh yeah, the place (which is full of trash and in bad need of a new paint job) also has a past history as a whorehouse AND as a place of demon-worship, so an evil force is eventually unleashed and things get out of control. People scream, people run, people die, people come back as zombie-killers... You know the drill.Oddly, this film takes a longer-than-usual amount of time to kick into gear and in the meantime we have to endure the token horror-movie filler (flashback sequences, nightmare sequences, bathtub sequences, sex sequences...) The general premise is completely worn-out, but the script actually strives for some character development, which is unusual for a direct-to-video genre film. The acting is also surprisingly tolerable. The photography is a little too dark.Hell, I sat through it without 1.) falling asleep OR 2.) using my fast-forward button, which is saying something for a film released by Roger Corman's New Horizons Home Video.

jet1985 The premise is simple enough. A group of wayward teens are sentenced to clean up an abandoned insane asylum and along the way encounter evil spirits, gruesome murders and demonic possession. All the makings for a popcorn horror film.A bit corny but the one true highlight of this otherwise forgettable film is Hannah Lee who plays "Claudia." She commands the screen and gets the most mileage out of her character. Hopefully, this will be a good springboard for better opportunities because it would be a shame to see her waste her talents in these types of roles. I hope to see more of her work in the near future.
