After Dark Originals: Sanatorium [DVD + Digital]

I was highly impressed. The plot has been used so many times, but this was produced VERY well, the actors/actresses were great (and the characters were well "written"), and I actually had to sleep with all my lights on after watching!!!! It's not often a "horror" flick can do that to me :-D I truly hope there will be a sequel to this movie!!

Love this. Movies rarely freak me out... This one is extra creepy. I swear I saw things that were not there... Its the kind of movie to watch over again... And the end? Seriously??? Perfect.

The plot is hackneyed. The acting fails to convey a 'found footage' feel. The film relies heavily on cheat jump scares.Spoiler Alert!A main character learns she is pregnant in the beginning of the film. The basic theme of the film is possession and children. I was expecting this to be a 'last-girl-standing' film where the baby is born possessed but no. She dies. The pregnancy side story never amounts to anything.There is only one black character and he dies. At least not first.A couple has sex but they are married but they both get killed anyway. I guess sex is sex to the dead.Ghosts generate heat but did not burn to death . WTF?Rent, don't buy.

Starts out slow but builds-up to one excellent horror film. Similar to Hollow's Grove if you own one, you need to own the other.

This movie was one of the best I've seen in years

Was fine until the end. The most obnoxious screaming and hyperventilating for 10 minutes straight. Really stupid.

Any of you who have read my reviews on this type of film, know that I'm not too kind. They usually have no originality, Swiss Cheese for a script, actors who can't walk and chew gum at the same time, and production qualities leave a lot to be desired. I caught this one on PPV last evening--and boy was I glad I did!Another "ghost hunter crew" head to the ominous Sanatorium to spend a ghoulishly scary evening and prove to their viewing audience that ghosts do exist. Heard that plot before? Yeah; I know. BUT, I found this particular production way above its other rivals in this genre. In this movie, it's what you DON'T see, what you THINK you see, and what you hear that scares the bejesus out of you! I thought the acting was top-notch. I cared about all the characters, even the d*ck that gets on everyone's nerves from the beginning of the film.After Dark films have released some of my favorite horror CDs, and I'm certainly glad to see them back in action. This movie is rated R for pervasively foul language and violence. I will advise you now that if you're looking for non-stop gore, you need to pass on this one. If you're looking for decent scares that will have you turning your lights on, I say go for it! This one did not miss a 5-star rating (from me) by much.Enjoy!

Creepy film it was a good to watch

Sometimes, I get distracted while watching a rental, and know enough to know whether I'd buy it, but still feel like writing a review might be unfair.This time, however, I can't seriously believe I'd consider this significantly better than some of the other one-star reviews I'd given.One annoying thing they didn't do, was have someone scream and swing the camera around but have whatever they they screamed at have disappeared. At least they're honest that nothing was happening.Unfortunately, nothing was happening a lot.Much like many other found footage movies, even though we're watching these characters doing little anything for an absurd time, its rare for the characters to show any personality or be distinguishable at all. If the fact that one couple is expecting a child is enough to make you root for them or feel any empathy, thats a mildly good thing. Its probably the closest thing to a positive in the movie.Unless things like "the characters weren't horribly obnoxious" sound like a compliment, avoid this.
