I should have known from the stereotypical montage of "scary and creepy" things in the opening credits that this film was going to be predictable and tired.
I work on a locked psychiatric unit and I'm always up for watching anything that tries to depict my line of work. If it includes spooky "insane asylums", count me in! I was looking forward to watching a well done psychological thriller but instead I felt like I was walking through a low budget haunted house that desperately tries to scare its patrons with every overused trick in the book. Cue the creepy laughing children, the unkempt old lady, and the identical twins. Add lots of blood. Yawn.
This was no Session 9, a movie that, to this very day, still haunts me. Instead this reminded me of a very hokey slasher film that elicited more laughter than it did fright. Do yourself a favor and run from this humdrum horror flick.
