The title sucks, and the premise of a haunted hospital
is anything but new. But believe us, this horror film
actually delivers some mighty fine scares. Working on
a small budget and a cast of unknowns, writer-director
Anthony C Ferrante obviously knows his way around the
genre. He borrows and steals many standard scares in
horror history, and twists them slightly just so that
they seem original.

The story begins when a bunch of teenagers decide on
Halloween night to visit a hospital that is rumored to
be haunted. Of course, there is no smoke without fire.
And the teenagers soon find to their great shock and
horror that all the rumors are true.

The film was shot in a real-life abandoned hospital— not a set — so the place does look authentically
creepy and raw. There are certain gags and characters,
like the elevator and the clown, that will scare the
bejesus out of you. Horror fans should catch this. In
an age of CGI effects, it is good to know that some
low-budget horror movie can still scare you with a few
classic tricks.
