Watch The Sickhouse For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Absolutely brilliant

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Wobbly hand-held camera filming in the dark. Just great. Thanks, movie.In a sense, the fact that the camera wobbles doesn't matter much, coz the movie is shot mostly in the dark, with faint glimmers of light (usually just flashlights). Wobbling is pretty much invisible in the dark so as far as I was concerned the wobbling didn't bother me during the invisible scenes - which took up 80% of the movie btw.Hundreds of cameramen and future cinematographers spend years learning how to work the camera, having a steady hand and an eye for lighting - but then one day they get their first movie job and what does the director tell them? "Please wobble as much as you can, and no, we won't have any lighting, just pitch-black darkness". Yeah, why let the viewers see the action? What do THEY matter? This idiotic myth about the hand-held wobble giving movies more realism has got to stop. You want more realism? How about working on better scripts. Not that any kind of change in how the camera is operated would have saved this dull turkey. It's clichés galore, strictly fluff.We have a heroine who is so daft that she actually goes into a building suspected of contamination, just so she can pick a few clues relating to some 17th-century plague-priests. The fact that this moron is played by Gina Philips is just about the only good thing about the movie, and she's the only reason I downloaded this crap in the first place.Many modern movies suffer from an overuse of computers, which are recklessly abused when directors go into a colour-changing frenzy. TSH is basically all dark green. This dull flick would have actually profited from realistic, natural colours, not fake hues of computer-generated green, which just end up making it bland-looking and very stereotypical of this age.The way the four London yobs enter the building is ludicrous. I didn't quite understand that. Did they actually think the building was a functioning hospital? Sure yobos are dumb, but surely not that dumb.

First of all I think that the entire cast did a damn good job; they were all extremely well scripted and developed and everyone had their little part of the story to them, which you don't find in many movies these days. This movie, to me, is more psychological than anything which I totally love being that I'm all about mind games in my horror movies. The Plague Doctor himself is so creepy he gives you chills just looking at and I think he was nicely developed, and equally creepy and convincing. The story didn't have too many snags and although it kind of had moments where your totally lost it bundles itself in a nice little black bow at the end and sets up an interesting and twisted ending.Another thing I want to note is that this is the first time I can remember that I've seen a naked pregnant girl in a mainstream film, which I thought was daring, considering that there's a lot of people that would go against it, and the boldness of that alone set me in high spirits for this movie. In all I'd have to say that The Sickhouse is a nice little jaunt into the depths of sinister spirituality and never lets up on the suspense and terror. If you're into ghost stories you'll be very happy with this film, I was thoroughly impressed, and that says a lot being that there's not enough good horror being made these days. Check this flick out, you got blood, guts, twists and turns and a pregnant girl giving birth to what looks like a million leaches! You gotta love it! In a time where most horror is cliché this movie sets itself in a different mode and pace than most which is very comforting. I'd definitely suggest you all watch this movie, just be sure to put on the subtitles, the kids have strong English accents... yeah as in London England. This movie is definitely highly recommended!

Well, this was not horrible to say the least. I have seen many movies that are even worse. For a low budget movie it was actually pretty thrilling. It gave you some spooks and jumps. Overall the storyline was a good idea, yet somewhat got lost along the way. The acting was OK. Some of the graphics and stunts were pretty gruesome and cool in a way. The dialog was quick and understandable and kept you enthralled throughout the film. Although, the ending was quite a disappointment and rather abrupt, the movie was overall good. Nothing compared to the old time horror flicks, but still good. Is it worth your money? Maybe... if you're looking for a slightly cheesy horror flick. Otherwise, just watch it online.

This movie was good! GINA PHILIPS was phenomenal as always and the others did a great job too. So it means that the acting in this movie was very good, i think it was great. The atmosphere was very good too, i really like that orphanage and the creatures look very well too. The plot was very nice too, it was original and i like it, it reminds me a little of HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL but still original and kinda refreshing. The movie was slow at some parts but still entertaining and with nice creepy moments and with some good scenes of action/horror. But the movie was too dark in some parts that is hard to figure out whats happening in some scenes, but still good. And the ending was sooo damn confusing! Overall it was a good horror movie but with a very confusing ending. Worth watching, worth renting. i gave it a 6/10 it would be a little better if the ending wasn't that confusing or if the film were not that dark. But like i said it is good, at least thats my opinion. But i think GINA PHILIPS was the best thing in the film.
