Synopsis

From the director of CANDYMAN and the producers of PARANORMAL ACTIVITY comes a found-footage nightmare of lust, possession, and destruction. Jill's an artist. Ian's a filmmaker. And their love life is off the chain. There's no experience too wild, no dare too dangerous—not even when Jill lets Ian strap her to a gurney in the abandoned hospital they're scoping out for their next art show. But he shouldn't have left her alone. Not even as a joke. Now, Jill's hookup with horror has awakened something in that place. Something with a lust for more than flesh.

Poptart_Psycho I have mentioned in my other reviews that found footage isn't my favourite in the horror genre only a few I liked, but I feel this one is too cliché and predictable. It flows of many other similar style films.Saying that is does have a few good things going for it, the lead actress is very attractive and the couple had a very wild side which maybe could of been explored more? Its only when 2 new characters were brought in the first half hour was okay.So the plot.., We start of seeing a woman being interviewed by detectives explaining her partner has died, then it shows Los Angeles artist Jill having her life videoed by partner Alex, the couple have a very sexual manor and nothing is too extreme. Alx tells Jill he has the perfect place for an artshow, an old institute for bad women. Wanting to look inside Jill goes in and find some disturbing things. Regardless of what they found Jill straps herself to a gurney and Alex insists on making a sex tape... After jokingly leaving her for a few minutes it turns to disaster an angry ghost unknowingly takes over her.This is when the movie goes downhill... the couple leave after being shaken up but bump into friends Bobby (a flirty womaniser who wants Jill) and his partner Ellie. The film turns into more macho trying to get Jills attention ignoring the fact shes possessed.The ending isn't so bad I wont give that away but I guess that makes the movie somewhat redeemable
begob This starts really well. You're presented with the mystery of three dead people as the police question the survivor.The survivor is a ditsy artist, who is filmed by her boyfriend as events lead up to the killings. It's all hand-held camera from his POV, and the characters are well drawn by the actors.Another promising thing is that there's some very good art on show, suggesting another way of seeing what's about to happen. Plus there's a good erotic element.So the couple enter an abandoned hospital to scout out a location for her exhibition, and there's a great jump scare at about the half hour mark.After that it slowly goes badly wrong. Another couple is introduced, and you soon get the feeling that the storytellers were stuck for a way of advancing the plot. The rest of the film is random running around corridors, entering dark rooms, getting glimpses of unscary creatures in hospital gowns, and it just feels like the director and writer lost the plot. The tension drains away and you end up clock watching.I'd even question whether this is a horror, because it mostly feels like an exaggerated version of how a manic artistic personality went mad. The point of a horror movie is to make the metaphor literal, and the ghosts in this story don't succeed in that. If you hang on to the end credits you'll get two gratuitous sex scenes that have at most a faint relevance to the story.It's worth a look, but the epic fail of the storytelling is unforgivable.
batteredcakes This actually wasn't a bad movie like what some reviews are saying. It's decent, has suspense, mostly good acting, and decent scares. I did get annoyed of the characters at some point. They were pretty realistic until somewhere in the middle where the characters were just starting to annoy and irritate me. Nice guy chases after (not nice word for chick who sleeps around) scenario to an obnoxious extent. Chick doesn't care, pushes him away for no reason all the time, sleeps with someone else while boyfriend is worried and looks for her then she whines for awhile throughout the movie..."someone needs to shoot her brains out soon" is all I could think about. The nice guy also gets annoying. Wants to leave, whines about wanting to leave, but doesn't and can't take no or leave me alone for an answer. So yes, it can get overly obnoxious towards the end from the middle but this was an entertaining movie with some decent acting and OK story. Watch it if you have nothing else really to watch. Just know, it doesn't live up to the other found footage films like Grave Encounters, Blair Witch Project or a couple of the Paranormal Activity movies.
victoryismineblast A young couple embark on a road trip to an abandoned hospital with the man filming everything along the way. The woman is a painter and the idea is to scope out the hospital to hold an art show there at a later time.When their car is towed, they call a couple of friends to pick them up, but plans change and they all re-enter the building. This is when bad things start happening as supernatural forces begin to manifest.The characters are so annoying and their decisions either do not make sense or just plain drive you crazy. Too little happens too late and what does happen is not very interesting. If there were more supernatural goings on and the characters were more likable I think I would have enjoyed this a lot more.
