This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

PRISON OF THE DEAD is another straight-to-video horror flick made in Bucharest by Full Moon Pictures. The story is about a high school reunion that takes place in a random haunted prison, now abandoned. The twentysomethings try out a Ouija board and randomly summon three executioners from the grave. Unfortunately, in the hands of the lame director David DeCoteau, there's very little to get interested in here. I liked the blue lighting of the set and the flickering lights, which adds a little atmosphere, but the budget is painfully slow and the slow-moving zombies only really come into the story at the end. Until then, the viewer must put up with irritating characters and lots of waste-of-time dialogue.

PRISON OF THE DEAD. Watch this movie only if it's the only thing on t.v. Ok. Kristoff (the rich yuppie) invites his friends over to his mansion to have a good time. The idea of fun for these friends is to play the ouija, smoke weed, and get laid. Soon after they play the ouija, dead prisoners come to life and start a killing spree. Now it's all in Kristoff hands to end with the slaughter and save his friends. The prisoners (by the way there's only 2 of them) look mean but cheesy.Yeah your average slasher, seems it got some basic details from the 80's slasher glory. The effects are poor, and the acting sucks so don't expect a good film by any means. Recommended only for cheesy slasher fans.4/10

For a second I got that 80's horror movie feeling... Just for a second. This one has a silly plot, dumb teens, drug use, sex, gore, and 2 identified killers. After the ouija session the fun begins. One by one this teens get killed by 2 executioners that awake from the dead. The dead come to life and hell arises for this teens. For being a low budget, this one tries too hard. The acting was bad but not as terrible as in other straight to video slashers. Featuring zombies, an ouija board, devil creatures, and an annoying storm "Prison Of The Dead" is only for die hard fans of the genre. If you wanna spend a fun night watching horror movies, rent this one and other -but good- horror film. If you try to get into the horror films, avoid this one! it'd be a lame way to get started.

After watching this Movie, I found it strange to read such bad comments and reviews it got, even from people claiming to be Full Moon Pictures Fans. They say that this film sucked and rated a Zero even on a B-Rated movie scale. I'm sorry, I liked this movie.What would make someone think this Movie is such a bad movie? I think it has all the low budget Goods: Zombies (even though they weren't that scary looking), Girls, Storms, OK Acting (Better than "Arcade"), and scares only someone appreciating the movie could find scary.Although the plot is almost none-existent and the Setting is a bit rough, if you liked such Low Budget Classics as "The Dead next door" and "Puppet Master" then I highly suggest you at least rent this or at least view the trailer. Come on people, you know what to expect from a movie titled "Prison of the Dead".For the record, even though this movie was good, The Sequel, "Hell Asylum", is way better, and way more scary.I give Prison of the Dead a 8.5 out of 10Someone who liked this movie should check out: Puppet Master, Hell Asylum, Dead next door, The dead hate the living, Dead & Rotting, Stitches, Kingdom of the Vampire, Blood Dolls, Talisman, Horror Vision, The Vault, and other classics from Full Moon Picture and Tempe Entertainment.
