Fantastic!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Condemned. As you step into the condemned complex, you realize that the building's pipes connect stories, a variety of tales bringing drug related nightmares together in a spirited vortex of slime, sorrow, and scares. A botched batch of contaminated cookies turn an abandoned New York complex into a crazed frenzy of murder, punk paranoia, and more murder, along with puke, punks, Nazi doms and their psychopathic subs, and a brief, yet brilliant turn by indie hero Nick Damici as the building's survivor-in-chief. Dylan "daughter of Sean" Penn's lead as Maya shows expertly how a film debut doesn't have to be a by-the-numbers script read, and a grimy drug-addled triumph by Patty Hearst's (yes, THAT Patty Hearst) daughter Lydia, adds a bit a legacy to an already packed-to-the-gills terror troupe. Comparisons to Troma films are deserved, to a point, yet Condemned takes the pus and gore of Troma and adds a slick legitimacy lacking in current indie creepouts. I was impressed by Eli Gesner's directorial debut, a fun fright flick that can be augmented greatly by being surrounded by like-minded horror fanatics and an ample amount of alcohol.

I've seen some ridiculously bad movies in the past (some were so bad that they got me pretty angry,) but this isn't one of them. I'm not saying it's good either though.First thing I'd like to mention: I hear a lot of people comparing this movie to 'REC' and its American remake 'Quarantine'. (One reviewer even went as far to say that it was almost as bad as 'The Sand'; a movie I felt was quite charming and at times admittedly nonsensical, but still good. I digress...) I feel 'Condemned' has more in common with David Cronenberg's deeply disturbing 1975 film, 'Shivers'; that and movies like 'The Driller Killer', 'Street Trash', and almost anything from Troma Entertainment.The special effects and makeup weren't bad, and I found the bizarre residents and their eventual changes to be amusing (albeit gross). Other than that, the lighting wasn't that great at times, characters, dialogue and scenes needed some more development, and there needed to be some explanation for some of the stuff that happened.If I could, I'd give this film a 5.5 out of 10. If you're easily squeamish, don't bother watching it. If not and you're into any of the movies I mentioned, you might enjoy seeing it just once.

This movie is extreme with the guts & gore so can't recommend it for the squeamish. However it's actually more then just that. The story takes place in a new york apartment building that of course is Condemned. There are many unique and stand out squatters living in the building however the tension is rising as a break out disease starts to spread and change them into rabid killers. There's plenty of humor and action and it reminds us that New York can be a very dangerous place. Not the fun Sex and the City lifestyle most young people think of it as. If you are into movies like Cabin Fever, Dead Alive, or anything Troma this film is definitely for you. It's got a rockin soundtrack thanks to Cerebral Ballzy. Personally I can't wait to see what Director Eli Morgan Gesner brings out next. Ps. Cookie Rules!

This movie was a complete waste of a Friday evening. Bad special effects, bad college film on a low budget. Don't waste your downtime watching it. Started out as a pretty promising story, good rich girl, hot boyfriend and nice friends. Went downhill about 25 minutes into the movie. Disgusting scenes which some of you probably will enjoy tho. I would guess that fear the walking dead was an inspiration. And i usually like this kind of movies, but, if you don't have the money to make it good. Then do not make it. Unless you have a really good story. If you still decide to waste your time, make sure to not eat anything during.
