MrBelette Why is David De Coteau not the worst director on earth ? Surely after watching this piece of crap you're inclined to think as such. Very bad direction, acting making you uncertain about crying or laughing about it, special effects far from being special, plot really boring, not scary at all. In conclusion a stupid boring "thing", you seriously can't call that a movie. Why is David De Coteau not the worst director on earth ?

insomniac_rod For some moments I felt as I was watching a late 80's slasher flick because some basic elements of the slasher genre were being displayed and mainly because the cinematography is pretty bad. The reality: since year 2000 many slashers and big budget horror films have turned the media's attention to the horror genre, but sadly, the genre once again has become the dark sheep of the industry. But producers don't give a damn if there's quality or not, they just want to sell mediocre films to a new generation that obviously doesn't know much about the genre's defininig movies. That's why most of these newbies in the genre accept anything!POTD has that 80's feeling for some moments but it isn't enough in these days to succeed in the genre. A group of "teens" (play the Ouija board just to awaken 2 dead prisoners buried down in the surroundings of Kristoff's (the rich owner) house. Soon after the prisoners enter the house to begin the slaughter, these teens start their own private party having sex and smoking weed. One by one these teens are killed by the prisoners, expect for Kristoff who drives to the town (I can't remember why). Kristoff knows the diabolic past of his house so he faces the prisoners knowing the only way to put an end to the nightmare...The characters weren't exactly teens as the actors/actresses were on their late 20's/early 30's. The best thing about this movie is Debra Mayer who is hot as hell! Whenever she appears she looks very sensual and seems that she was in the search for sex. The main character, Kristoff, did a decent job as the hero of the film. There's almost no gore, sex, or scary scenes. PRISON OF THE DEAD is a lame addition to this new turn the slasher genre has taken in the 21th century. But at least it tries to emulate the feeling of the 80's slasher films. FOOL MOON PICTURES deserves a mention as a direct to video company that tries to keep alive the genre. Watch it only if you are a DIE HARD fan of the genre, because if not, you'll be bored and mad for spending 5 bucks on this. Watch it at your own risk.2/10
MovieFan19 Personally I didnt think the movie was that bad, I mean some parts were alright and the others just sucked. But I've been trying to find that one song when Rory and Michele was in the room doing it. If anyone has seen the movie and recognizes the song will you please email me and tell me the name and who sings it because this is driving me nuts.
BHorrorWriter ...But I actually liked this movie. Yeah all the typical elements of a David Decoteau film are here: Bad acting, Bad script, A guy in his underwear, silly special effects, and recycled scenes used only as padding to make the movie longer. It is not wonder he uses so many alias's. Though, I can't help but like this movie. It is dark, and moody, and has a presence that is somewhat different than some of Decoteau's other movie for Full Moon. The thought of a place where witches were executed, and a struggle between their executions is a good one. But, of course not enough time is spent on the story, but instead on dumb dialog. Of course, in true Full Moon fashion, the ending is completely rushed and sucks! I can't stand Debra Mayer! Okay that is out of my system.Still, nothing great, but not horrible...Looking forward to the 2nd one, directed by Danny Draven (Horrorvision). 6 out of 10
