Jereme Young Utterly terrible. Long story short apparently no one thought it would be a good idea to bring a flashlight or two to explore the creepy building. Also despite someone being killed almost every time, they repeatedly split up. Because they apparently suck at being prepared and patterns.On top of this there is basically no atmosphere building, people start dying right away, with almost no sort of suspense. I say almost because it became a race against the clock in the way that, how are they going to continue this movie at the rate which they're killing everyone off? There was maybe one good jump scare, which I personally don't like anyway because they're kind of low hanging fruit.As far as everything else goes the acting wasn't great and most of the time it was too quiet to hear and too dark to see the couple of creepy things. There honestly wasn't much plot or redeeming qualities. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie.
slamdawg9 **Spoilers below** 'Found footage' films...isn't anyone getting sick and tired of seeing them yet? Yes. Yes, we are. Take note film makers. It's old. It's tired. It's been done to DEATH, if you'll pardon the pun.I can sum up the entire movie thusly: Stupid, irritating crew shows up on site and is locked in. "What was that, did you hear that?" someone yells. Someone gets killed. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. "What was that??" someone else yells. Someone else gets killed. Cameraman switches to infrared vision. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. Someone else gets killed. Ghost rape. Everybody runs amok screaming the "F" word. They turn on each other. Someone else gets killed. "Oh my God...there's NO WAY OUT OF HERE!" someone screams, conveniently forgetting that they ASKED to be locked in. Someone else gets killed, and everybody runs amok yet again, screaming the "F" word. No one makes it out alive, and we never get to see but about a one second shot of the 'bad guy'. The end. SNORE!
jinx_malone Minor quibbles: Richard Speck didn't rape and kill the student nurses in a hospital, he raped and killed them at their apartment. I don't know why this bothers me so much, but it does. The Asylum have a habit of altering history in their other films when the truth would work just as well--their Amityville film and the Anneliese Michel picture are both good examples of this, though at least the Amityville film is so bad that it crosses the line from suck into awesome. As an aside; for whatever reason I get offended when the stories they choose to tell are about real people. Just write your lousy dung about characters that you bothered to make up using your imagination. Impossible I know, since they have none. Or write your story with this in mind and then change the names to protect the innocent or whatever. File off the serial numbers. If I were a member of the families of the murdered girls, this movie would work my nerves even more than it already does. Same thing with the Anneliese Michel movie. Instead of scaring me, all I could feel was annoyance that they couldn't let this poor person rest in peace. Richard Speck was a piece of garbage, why do I have to watch a movie where his ghost rapes some chick? How sanctimonious of me, I know.On to the review. Not much to say, to be honest. The movie is boring. Nothing good to say about it at all. Kills are ripped off from better films like REC and we even get a low-budget Entity callback. If you want a fun found footage film done on the cheap, go watch Grave Encounters, which is also a piece of crap but does have a sort of interesting premise.Mostly, the Asylum pisses me off because they actually make money on these awful films. However, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm totally envious of them for that very reason, so there you go. They suck, this movie is awful, they make money, I am jealous. The end.
ASouthernHorrorFan "100 Ghost Street" is a found footage paranormal flick from The Asylum. It is told through recovered documentary video footage retrieved from the stories set location. A team of paranormal researchers head out to record any phenomena where the infamous killer Richard Speck murdered several people. The film stars Jennifer Robyn Jacobs, Jim Shipley, Tony Besson, Jackie Moore, and Hayley Derryberry. "100 Ghost Street" begins just as most of these found footage paranormal ghost stories do by setting up the story with video sequences that conveniently introduce the location and purpose of the visit. In this case a documentary investigating the paranormal activity at the scene of grisly murders committed by Richard Speck who along with his victims is said to still be haunting the location. There is nothing that really sticks out in this film as groundbreaking or original but it is a pretty good movie. The story is believable and comprehensible. The action begins almost immediately and convincingly. The special effects in this film is standard play in this subgenre and is done very well. There is plenty of gory death scenes and melodramatic acting from the cast. The scares are not so much instantaneous or shocking but the whole film is pretty entertaining.There is really nothing in this film that stands out as nail biting or 'edge of your seat chills' but the film manages to keep you interested by showing a steady amount of action and drama. I actually found it to be a very enjoyable paranormal film that brought the blood and gore. The effects are not high end but they are better than a lot of the films in this subgenre of horror. If your looking for sudden chills or scare moments that make you jump then look elsewhere, but that aside it is a very good ghost story. The atmosphere is creepy, the location is dark and the story behind the paranormal activity is gruesome. I think any paranormal movie fan will be pleased to see this film.
