The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Read the reviews, and while this isn't the best movie, I think the cast did well. As an actor, I think they did well with what they had. I've seen much , much worse acting. In bigger budget films. Is this movie scary? Yes. Is this movie entertaining? Yes. I think this is a good low budget horror movie, with a talented cast. Which is rare. Usually they have maybe two or three good actors, and the rest are painful in real inde movies. This just isn't the case here. Everyone was good. My biggest complaint here was that it didn't make sense at some key parts. First of all, OK, if this was ah real ghost hunting team, they would have been losing their minds with the first tap on the wall. They would have been in ghost chasing heaven , k? So this Ghost Hunting team, instead of attributing all of these obvious paranormal responses runs around going " weird." "That was a draft, guys!" " that's pipes. That happens. It's not possible for that to be a ghost, guys." "You don't know how many people are in prison for murder, that's all we are facing here " and that's after they saw the ghost and got their neck sliced by air! The other thing that bugged was after the first girl was attacked , they gave her a sleeping pill and yelled at her like she was a loser for getting attacked. OK, if this was a real ghost hunting team, they would have sent that girl home, right away and probably stopped the entire investigation. So having skeptics and slut shame-rs be the main protagonists sucked.. Ruined it for me. But there were some real frightening and creepy moments , esp at the end. I think if I didn't know as much about ghost hunting , this would have really scared me!!

The first rule of reviewing 'found footage' horror films is to take them for what they are. So, I review this in the context of the sub-genre only and not in the wider context of film generally.The found footage genre is massively over-saturated with poor quality films. When done right, these films are fantastically scary (Blair Witch etc). I have watched over 30 of these films and, bearing in mind this film is only a year old, my only reaction is 'why was this film even made?'. It offers absolutely nothing new whatsoever, and trots out the same clichés as most other of these films (scary abandoned property, investigated at night, shaky camera work, annoying characters etc etc). Although it is no worse than many other found footage films, those other films came first and so it is up to newer films to expand on and develop the genre - this film totally fails to do that. The one positive for me was that I thought the acting was a lot better than usual. I'm not talking about great acting as such, just appropriate acting for this type of film. Yet another poor addition to the pool, for die-hard found footage fans only, and even those people will wonder why they bothered watching.

What happened to the last 84 minutes of my life? What happened to filmmaking standards? What happened to hope?One thing that The Asylum films pretty much has going for it is consistency. 100 Ghost Street: The Return of Richard Speck is an Asylum film in every way - but sadly, that's not a compliment. As far as found footage films go, this is one of the worst that I've had the misfortune of seeing. And I'm easy.The setup is similar to what we're accustomed to in films of this ilk, so I can't actually take any points away for that. The technical aspects of the film follows time-worn convention; it's pretty much what you'd expect to see for a micro-budget film of this particular sub- genre. Low light, jerky camera movements, and poor sound. Again, no surprises there. Where this film really excels at ineptitude is in the low level of acting involved and in its extremely poor storytelling. For 3/4 of the film's running time, viewers are treated to excessive yelling, frantic posturing and hysterical emotional bursts from an earnestly amateurish cast. Bad acting has been a staple of this type of film since Blair Witch, so I for one, EXPECT it. However, it's the LAST 1/4 of the film that really bites; the actors collectively go into this whole other realm of over-emoting that I've rarely ever seen outside of a badly- directed grade school stage play. Please people, for God's sake, take more acting classes. Improvisation is an art; please take it seriously. And if you know what's good for your "career", I'd suggest steering clear of films produced under the Asylum banner. Clearly, no good can come of it.The atrocious acting in this film is outdone only by the extremely lazy storytelling which has characters making the stupidest choices possible and taking the most inexplicable courses of action. Repeatedly. Finally (just because a lack of accuracy happens to be a pet peeve of mine), I'd give this film a huge "fail" in the research department. For the record, the building where the actual murders of the nurses took place was in a townhouse. Also, in actuality, Richard Speck killed 8 nurses in that townhouse, not 7 which this film repeatedly and erroneously mentions. The manner in which Speck's original victims were killed is also misrepresented in this film. There are more factual errors that I could mention, but chances are, you already get the picture. For future, it'd be nice if writers who work on dreck like this would actually take the time to at least get facts right, so here's a little shout-out to all those inspiring, creatively-deficient screenwriters out there that intend on tackling real-life events: it's not that difficult - Wikipedia is only a few mouse clicks away and it's freely available to anyone.

I had almost zero expectations from this Movie But it turned out to be one of the best found footage Movies I have ever seen.Now I am confused between this and Grave Encounters that which one is better than the Other.Story is similar to Grave encounters but it is more engaging and not boring.It is scary as hell.Climax is also better than Grave Encounters.My only complaint is that I was expecting the spirit to be Visible at least once throughout the Movie which didn't happen still I am not disappointed In fact I am in love with this Movie as it succeeds to create an eerie atmosphere.People those who have rated it Low they must be drunken Losers.Go Get a Life.100 Ghost Street is a Must watch for all Horror movie Lovers.Movie Like this comes once in a lifetime and should be made every Month.Keep them coming.Strongly Recommended.
