Very disappointing...
Let's be realistic.
Just perfect...
A Masterpiece!
This movie was creepy and had all the right plot points and steady character revelations. Asylum movies generally revolve around the same kind of plot points but this movie was unique.
This is a very scary and suspense filled psychotic movie. It is very simple with its atmosphere and effectiveness. The building is the real star of the movie along with the amazing lighting and cinematography. The story is very effective for the purpose. The ending feels a tiny bit flaccid but that is the most minor of complaints from an otherwise genuinely gripping and powerfully scary movie. This is a dread filled mental horror bringing the viewer into the scary with very real feeling fear.
Terrible acting, terrible story, terrible audio. Apparently the $50 budget of this movie went to renting a few hours to film it in a nice old building. There is a difference between mystery plot and missing plot. It was as if this was written by high school drop outs. There were no redeeming aspects of this movie and writing a review going over why every element was a failure would be a waste of time. An example of just how low grade this movie is that they couldn't even have their actual actors scream in flashbacks, they were filled with stock screams downloaded from online...
Biggest key of movie is that the crew were cleaning asbestos (dangerous substance what can affect hallucinations and serious illness) hospital and probably Gordon ( a person slipping into insanity) was infected (we can see his ill leg in the van) and started freak out more and more every day. Also we can compare Gordon with Mary. Probably he has same personal disorder and same alters like her, that is why he digging eyes to his victims (Mary's second alter "Billy" believe that he lives in the eyes, we can see note of Mike's tape analysis that this alter is very protective to Mary"s first alter "Princess"). Gordons second alter tries to protect him when Phile started doubt in the Gordon's behaving (Phile mention to Mike that Gordon hit his own wife and that he can be dangerous for their job). Gordon was mourning for what he did to his wife (his first alter miss the family just like the Mary's "Princess"). Mary's third alter "Simon" killed the Peter on the Chrismas ("22 years ago") when Peter frightened her and she felt on her new doll and injured herself. In my opinion, Gordon's wife tried to move away dangerous Gordon from their newborn child, he tried to come back but his wife didn't want it,so he killed her. Maybe he somehow accidentally killed his child (we can see Gordon in Mary's room, watching photos on the wall and crying for his child just like Mary cried for a doll). Simon lives in "week and wounded" just like injured Mary and hurt feeling Gordon. Silver coins may present protection from evil like from vampires or evil alters.
