Cunningham hall is a run down mental health facility with too many patients and reduced funding. An eager young medical student Clark Stevens (Joshua Leonard) accepts an internship at the asylum, and he quickly learns the level of depravity in this madhouse.
A young nurse named Sara (Jordan Ladd) shows him around, and he begins to worry about the condition of the inmates, particularly Alice (Natasha Lyonne) who is having horrifying hallucinations and Carl (Aaron Strongoni) who has suicidal tendencies. But when he begins to have visions of his own he turns to Sara for help, yet she also has something to hide.
Despite the fact it's a low budget and the straight to DVD (Video) movie, it still delivers great tension, and a creepy atmosphere throughout; the cast are quite strong and the story keeps you guessing till the end. I won't pretend it's flawless, but it is definitely worth watching if you get the chance; certainly not a film that you should avoid because you fear it may be too cheap.
7/10
