Watch Pennhurst For Free

Too much of everything

People are voting emotionally.

Load of rubbish!!

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

"The Lost Episode" and "Asylum of the Dead" are the same film....and "Pennhurst" too.A group of kids enter the haunted Asylum of Pennhurst being turned into a horror theme park. One teen tells a story about a film group that disappeared here while filming a ghost hunters episode. He tells the story that involves ghosts and an evil doctor. Much of the film is a flashback. The terror wasn't there. although they tried with jump scares that you see coming. I did like the ending, but not much more except for maybe that one scene.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Ryan Keely) Part of a horror film 12 pack

THE LOST EPISODE is another in a long line of no-budget found-footage ghost films set in abandoned asylums, following on from the likes of the GRAVE ENCOUNTERS films and EPISODE 50. This one's the worst yet, despite the presence of cult horror favourite Michael Rooker (HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER) working as both director and guest star.This film features a muddled narrative set in both past and present, repeatedly swapping between the two time zones. One narrative involves a film crew shooting a documentary in the asylum, the other involves the stereotypical group of teenagers out for a thrill. Lots of lame wandering around and godawful dialogue scenes are interspersed with some extraordinarily lame deaths.The movie's cast is appalling, with not one actor standing out from the quagmire. Rooker wisely hides his face behind a mask for the most part, but as a director he displays no discernible talent whatsoever; stick to what you're good at, dude, i.e. stay in FRONT of the camera where we want to see you! Needless to say there's nothing else worth mentioning here, because it's an entirely worthless film and comes close to meriting the dreaded 'one star' rating.

I thought this movie was going to be one of those Hand-Held Camera but however they try to make it out it is like ones of those movies. I thought the plot was okay, they had decent idea of twist in this movie, even thought twist is very predicable from start of the movie. Number of people go to this building to film before they go into the building this tall guy tells not to go in and yet he goes in there with them.Thought out the movie loud noise and people screaming and the mad doctor is stalking this place after all these year!One by one they all getting killed by this made doctor in this haunted place, torture scenes were really badly done too. The movie was very boring and wasn't actually stopped watching the movie, while cleaning up and having this on in the back ground for most of time. The acting in this movie was really bad, it had laughing for most of the times, when the over act the lines2 out 10

Not a found footage movie, but rather a movie based upon what's become one of the more standard found footage movie plots. What am I talking about? Only this...Pennhurst is about a group of obnoxious teens who go to an abandoned mental hospital to screw around. While there, the most obnoxious of the bunch tells the story of a TV "ghost hunting" crew who visited that selfsame hospital and were brutally murdered. Pretty standard, yes? No! This film doesn't even try to maintain the found footage conceit. Badly chosen music, meant to be scary I suppose, crops up on the soundtrack throughout. And speaking of scary, there ain't none. Maybe two or three scenes, all of them staring the film's director/star Michael Rooker, could be considered at all scary and then only if they were taken out of context with rest of the film.If Pennhurst has a saving grace, it's that at least the cast looked like they were having fun shooting it. Which is good, because I doubt anyone else will enjoy it as much.
