One of my all time faves! - By: A. Joseph, 27 Oct 2008 
I can't believe I haven't written about this movie yet, I've had it in my collection for years. This is by far the best budget movie I've ever seen. I watched it again just this week!
This movie is about a clean-up crew specialising in the removal of old hazardous materials from buildings. It's set in an old Psychiatric hospital callled Danvers, a remarkable bat-shaped building designed for the treatment & well-being of it's inmates.
As previous reviewers state, this movie may seem a tad slow to some people but this is a movie you have to pay attention to. The atmosphere is excellent set in the Danvers State Hospital, Massachusetts (which is sadly no more, having pulled down most of the buildings leaving only the main bulk at the centre of the batwing complex intact for very expensive 'luxury' apartments. What a scandal!)
The acting is very strong with each of the characters contributing very well to the plot & the tension is beautifully paced.
The setting for this movie is what makes it for me, they reallly didn't have to do anything except make decent lighting for shots, which they did reallly, reallly well!
This movie makes you uneasy from the offset, though it's mostly shot in the daytime & they are just working men trying to make a living. I can't explain without giving too much away but this reallly does make you feel edgy.
For those of you out there that like your horror a little more intelligent than the usual format, this is for you.
For me however, this is the best tour of Danvers State Hospital I will ever see. I will treasure this movie for alll of the above reasons.
RIP Danvers.
Awful Film - By: K. Wright, 05 Jun 2008

This was a great movie! - By: Simple Simon, 14 Apr 2008 
Great horro movie. Slow paced but i had to watch it twice to fully see what was going on.
I stil lget creeped out by the end of the story....I am not going to spoil it but was Simon "the devil"?
Not sure if there was any supernatural goings on in this movie or was it purely alll about insanity? Some scens/aprt suggested something might be going on. Any thoughts?
Those taped interviews were chilling to listen to. Al lthose voices from one person.
What wa sthe alternate ending? I never did get to see it? I'd love to though. Drop me an email if you know a link to it or can tell me about it.
This was a great/ spooky horror movie. No CGI/ bood/gore. Thank goodness. Watch it.
worst film ever - By: E. Porsz, 09 Mar 2008 This is one of the worst films i have watched in a long while. Don't waste your time with this film.
very good - By: D. Terry, 01 Mar 2008 watch this alone at night with the sound turned up & you'll be terrified, this film realy does get to you, mainly its the voice in the recordings, or because its set in the daytime which makes it seem alll the more real.
it doesn't need big stars or a big budget it works just as it is
