view_and_review I'm thinking about changing my user name to "Bad movie watcher" because of my incredible and uncanny ability to watch bad movies through to completion. There have been the occasional stinkers that I couldn't bear and turned off midway, but by and large I gut it out.This bad movie is a found footage film taking place in an abandoned mental hospital. To use a baseball term, the movie starts off in the hole with an 0-2 count.Although found footage films have significantly improved over the years, this one is of the type I can't stand. This is the single camera, POV, amateur video. So, what do you get with that? Quick scans, out of focus, and shaky. Then, whoever edited it made it more unwatchable with constant cuts from shot to shot. It's enough to give you a headache. There were plenty of times when I didn't know who was holding the camera because different people would be in the shot when they weren't before. And tell me, how does a found footage video have a musical overlay for intensity? Granted it was subtle and brief but it still detracts from the overall principle. The movie took too long to get going and offered very little in the scare department. Ultimately, you had three ghost seeking youngsters that found just that and paid the price. It was all rather cliché. At one point, at the beginning of the movie, someone even said: "This is how all horror movies start," when commenting on a ominous shot of some old homes--almost as if the movie was making fun of itself. Really poor taste.There's nothing cutting edge, nothing original, nothing redeemable about this movie. I'll stay away from the overused: "That's (x amount of my time) of my life I can't get back," because I made the choice to watch it. But what baffles me is: what is cool as a stunt isn't always cool as a movie. Why did they think this could make a good film? "Greystone Park" could've done a lot better as a 15 minute YouTube clip.

Shawn Stetsko Most of the other reviews already hit this one pretty well... quite bad acting, bad effects and no plot (both par for the course for most found footage movies), and really quite dull. It tries to make it more interesting with artsy splices of chaotic montage which are supposed to reflect the decay of the psyches of the characters (I suppose) but these invasive montages are more just annoying noise than mood altering (I suppose being annoyed IS a mood though). To give the director some credit, at least they tried. They do capture a claustrophobic feel quite well, and the flashing lights and darkness, generic though they may be and even bothersome, are not completely without value in furthering this mood. All that said I obviously feel that the movie fails, and even worse, it tries too hard to be a couple of different genres at once and thus fails at several things simultaneously. It is nothing more than a ghost tale, but has an awkwardly overlapping demonic theme that is very strained and culminates in a kind of high level of stupidity, and also seems to be suggesting an other dimension quality that just does not carry itself out. The set is very good though, and someone with a budget and a lot of talent could really do something with it. Unfortunately it is wasted on this movie. Not THE worst movie I have ever watched, but I am content to see it at a 2 and no higher.

Moriaty Moriaty First 2/3 of movie i should say its for 5-6 solid points.The ending and that part in the church is something that just shouldn't be.BUT, the first 2/3 or first half of movie is OK and camera is all around but it creates story and scenes which in some found footage movies doesn't exist.I think if maybe ending was different it would be easily one of better found footage movies. At least for 5 stars.Scary factor, in some points very good. Especially middle of the film.Grave Encounters 2 for example scary factor almost non existent.Give it a go and judge yourself.For me top found footage movies definitely The tunnel and Grave Encounters first part.

Spookysaur I am afraid to say, that although I watched the film this evening, my brain found it hard to comprehend the dullness that was thrust upon it, and so images of the film are already leaking away as I type this so sorry for lack of info. I am a huge fan of found footage films, which is the reason I got this. I was hoping for at least Grave Encounters level of film but instead got college student attempt at horror film... My main problems with this film is that nothing much happens, they keep shouting at each other over naff all, and you can't see a bloody thing a lot of the time! I paid 8 quid to look at darkness while people shout. I could get the same effect by hiding in an alley at night and occasionally jumping out at people while screaming boo, for free! I am being rather nice with a 2, but if I gave it a 1 I would feel even more depressed about paying the amount I did for it...
