Thanks for the memories!

Strong and Moving!

good back-story, and good acting

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

A screenwriter visits the set of his horror movie in an abandoned psychiatric hospital, where a dark force begins to create its own drama.Ouch! I gave this a shot because of some good recent IMDb reviews and the writer/directors also wrote The Ward, a passable hospital horror. Problem starts with the screenplay, which trowels on 20 different characters who get lost in a series of choppy, ineffective scenes. Most of the dialogue is pointless, failing to give impetus to the dark force, and the threat is confusingly both internal and external as ghouls creep out of the shadows and the cast goes insane. Plus they chose a really lame protagonist. Total mess and very hard to sit through despite the short run time.On top of that is the damn music. It's mostly simple, eerie strings and plinky piano - but it never turns off. Even when the odd dramatic scene comes along the dialogue gets swamped, and the music completely drains other scenes of their creepiness when silence is needed. Very close to hitting the eject button.Hard to judge the actors, because their characters were so badly drawn - a bunch of squabbling 13 year olds - and their lines were so pointless and lacking in intelligence or information.Camera was also poor. Lots of reflection on the lens and bad lighting of the actors.The story did develop pace in the end, but overall just awful. A much better film in this genre is Grave Encounters.

This review contains spoiler, please do not read it before watching the movie.Here we go again with the mental hospital stuff. And another fail. The joke is that the idea was not bad. But somehow the whole thing just did not make any sense. Why did they got there to shoot this movie? What happened there before? Now is there an evil power working on its own or people just go crazy and kill each other? If it was the latter, why didn't it happen to everyone? Who was that guy talking to and why did he hate the writer so much? Why was so much time wasted on the fake scary moment of that piercing removal in the beginning and why the things that was meant to be scary happened in a second or two? And there are many other questions that bothered me, probably because I had plenty of time for thinking as there wasn't anything scary and as far as I was concerned the fate of these people could have been anything because they were so plain and boring. The story just seemed to be built in an absolutely random manner, without giving it a serious thought. There was a tiny ray of hope at the end, when it became almost interesting, but the feeling just came and went. Oh, and the end was extra stupid.The very same people wrote The Ward. Many people hated it, it worked for me though. Not this one. It's really a pity because some extra work could have made it so much better.

A film crew shooting a horror flick in an old abandoned hospital, realise that all is not what it seems as one by one, they all seem to fall under the influence of an evil presence...The problem I had with this film is that it's nothing that any self respecting horror fan hasn't seen before. It takes a while to get going and utilizes done before clichés such as ominous music combined with slow tracking shots, in an attempt at atmosphere. As a result it emerges as a pretty lacklustre by the numbers effort that despite having one or two nice ideas, is simply a ho-hum affair that has no real suspense or tension and the characters are pretty uninteresting. The performances aren't great either and overall the film simply comes across as boring. It was also far too restrained for my liking, considering its premise could have allowed for at least some potentially entertaining set piece kills, but it's all to tame and cutaway.4/10, just a dreary, dull horror for me.

The story revolves around a film crew who enters an abandoned psychiatric hospital to shoot a horror film and get more than they bargained for. I get a feeling that the Rasmussen brothers have a "thing" for old, abandoned psych wards which is lucky for us viewers!Dark Feed was shot in New England using some of the same buildings featured in Shutter Island and Roger Danchik, art director on Session 9 was in charge of production design for the film. Dark Feed also features a haunting original score by award winning composer John Kusiak who scored Errol Morris's recent film Tabloid. The makings of a garishly good time and film are all there!
