Precisett This movie is magnificent!
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
bfp13108 This piece of junk never should have made it past the editing desk. It isn't scary. The premise is lame. The actors act as if they are being paid minimum wage. There is NOTHING original about this movie.The "charming" host, Jefferey SS Johnson, looks like he was picked up by scouts outside an AA meeting. Compared to Johnson, David Caruso in CSI might as well have won an Emmy and a Golden Globe. Poor little Dee Wallace seems to be slumming.Burger Boy looked like he was found inside a dumpster just outside an In & Out. There is nothing positive I can say about John Zderko except maybe he should go back to summer stock theater. The single bright star of the movie (and its only redeeming feature) was Linara Washington. When they decide to do a decent biopic of Whitney Houston, there's your star. The resemblance between the two, especially when W.H. did The Bodyguard, is absolutely stunning. Think Jennifer Hudson doing the vocals and you have a blockbuster. I even think Ms. Washington could do an early Diana Ross, pre-Supremes split. Someone to definitely watch.The script was even more dreadful than the special effects, if that is even possible. If you want to watch this on Amazon Prime for free and feel like wasting 90 minutes of your life - hey, it's your life. Otherwise, throw it straight into the circular file.P.S. There was not a single scary moment in the entire film. In fact I started thinking I should take the dog out to do his business about fifteen minutes into the film.
foxdogehound I'm here to give you a REAL review of this movie, not some extreme movie critic review bullsh*t. You may find some of the things I say to be spoilers, but this movie is already spoiled. Don't watch this and expect to get what the title of the movie tells you. I hated every single character of this movie and couldn't wait for them to die. Joel and Kate want a vacation yet their adult career is a ghost hunter. The fat guy is always talking about food and acts stupid, then just vanishes from the movie. Roger is just that irritating anti-everything that nobody really wants in the group and all he does is inconvenience everyone. The story of the location in this movie is very short but sweet. Classic twisted doctor that tortures people in a few interesting ways compared to your standard murderer, just not enough ways. The guy in charge telling the story was creepy as f*ck the whole time. Sh*t started to pick up eventually with something I've never seen in any of these movies, but then they ruined it with cheesy music. You can find scarier music/sound files in a Google search. Before I knew it, the movie was over and only one person died. What an unfinished, generic story. This had potential to be good if it was done a little better and the actual story extended. Not worth watching. Grave Encounters is way better.
sheila-205-702141 As someone who was privileged to watch the filming process for this movie first-hand, I was completely impressed with the quality of the film overall. to say the location was challenging is probably an understatement. It was very cold when the cast & crew descended upon the film location (and there was no heat available during filming at the main location either). This movie was primarily filmed in just over one week - amazing! Everyone needs to watch this movie, very exciting and great storyline. Can't wait until it comes out on DVD to own my own copy. Rent it, buy it - most of all WATCH IT.
softlovelylips When I saw the title, I went in not expecting much. Imagine my surprise when I found out this was a truly scary horror gem. Lately, I've been disappointed with the big budget horror movies like Annabelle, which left me jaded and longing for the true horror movie genre. Cellblock 11 is realistic, solid, and believable. It's the stuff that you want to see on all these paranormal TV shows that flood your cable TV. After watching Ghost Hunters, Ghost Adventures, Haunted... you're left wanting. Never seeing anything conclusive gets a bit boring. I know they're supposed to be reality, but I get tired of the off-screen noises and things being thrown off camera that only the team can see.For a low budget feature, it gives you everything that those shows miss. It's a very good movie, it gets right to the point with no wasted unnecessary dialog and uncomfortable characters. Don't expect a bunch of cgi and camera tricks. It's simple, basic, clean, and definitely worth a watch.
