Synopsis: An asbestos-cleaning crew gets the job of renovating an old abandoned asylum with a horrific past. At first everything is going great and it seems that they are gonna make their deadline. But when one of the crew goes missing and another goes nuts, things take a nasty, creepy turn. One of the crew members finds an office filled with audio recordings from therapy sessions with the patients. One catches his eye and he becomes obsessed with finding out what had happened to the patient. It seems that the patient's diagnosis of Multiple Personality Disorder has left the grave and affected one of their own. But who?
Review: I am a sucker for a horror movie with an asylum in it. If it takes place in one or is about one or whatever...I'm there. This movie did not let me down. With believable acting, a solid script, and an original storyline, I was very impressed with this movie. There are parts that make you think, "Am I going freakin' nuts?" If you ever get a chance to rent this movie...do it...and watch the special features, there is a great line from the main character that really gets under your skin. Not a lot of blood or gore, but you don't need that in a psych thriller.
Rating: 22. Thought the story was great, along with the acting, script, and characters. Really wanted more of the woman's story and more of the hospital's story. Great movie and even better story, would have made a terrific book as well...can't say that very often. Please see this movie, you will love the creepy feeling you'll get from the asylum they're working on. (22of25).
