Far from being a critic of this movie, I'm even MORE of a critic of the asinine people attempting to criticize a movie when they can't even spell or use sentence structure. I know I'm not perfect, but DAMN PEOPLE!! At LEAST learn the language if you are going to make comments about a movie!! While the movie itself is not a master work of art, at least the movie tries to have a decent plot twist unlike some of these high budget pieces of garbage that are made by studios with huge wallets. And also unlike the high budget crappy movies, the low budget movies at least try to have original ideas, even if some are dangerously close to clones of other movies. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good or how bad a movie is, it matters what the movie is to the VIEWER. And again - LEARN HOW TO TYPE IN UNDERSTANDABLE, STRUCTURED SENTENCES, ya twits.

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.

As restless souls from their past torment the crew members, they fear for their lives as one by one they are gruesomely murdered.In a surprising revelation, they discover something more terrifying than ghosts is responsible."Do not waste your time with this film. It was boring, slow in some places and looked like a very low budget film. Terrible

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.
