Synopsis: Five strangers are challenged to survive the night in a supposedly haunted, abandoned insane asylum. The prize: 1 million dollars to anyone who survives.
A fairly good scare flick, it features a beautiful, hip, Gen-X cast. It turns out that the house itself is alive; the myriad horrors and evils perpetrated in the asylum by an insane doctor have festered and combined into group consciousness. Deja vu from The Shining. The back story is hair-raising, and the movie keep you on your toes, trying to determine whether the killer is the house, the host, or one of the guests. My only beef in the whole film really, is the inclusion of Saturday Night star, Chris Kattan. I'm not sure if he's intended to be comic relief, or if he's really trying to act. I don't want to give it away, but he shows up the last few frames of the film in a really ridiculous way, that will make viewers groan. Definitely a good Halloween rental, with good scares and some interesting twists. The acting was just Ok, with everyone playing their assigned archetypes (annoying media hound, corporate ice queen girl, heroic black man, etc.) This one will make a nice rental come October 31. Rating: 5.5 Chris Kattan Heads More reviews by CJ please! |
