Thanks for the memories!

Simply A Masterpiece

Sadly Over-hyped

Expected more

Me and my wife sat down to watch this little bag of poop last night... Now i wished i had descaled the kettle instead!Very poor script and direction make this almost unwatchable from the word go. After stacey keach's hospital bed scenes and flash backs its all down hill.A group of cheesy hair cut kids (who can not act) are making a documentary on a old abandoned prison with a bloody past....wow original. At the same time a group of even more cheesy unrealistic armed robbers decide to hide out in the prison...are you still awake?For some reason Jake Busey thought it would add something to the plot by having his hair like Worzel Gummidge! oh and also the fact he is totally annoying.All the same old routines here,people wonder off get hacked up then the rest of the group find the body,they act shocked for 0.005 of a second then move on and forget all about it!The way the characters are directed is a joke. Let me give you a prime example. After several people have been murdered one of the "tough" robbers decides she wants to go to the toilet, and instead of finding a quiet corner she asks one of the cheesy kids to walk her all the way down the evil corridor to the toilet block!What happens next is one of the most pointless scenes ever put on film. It involves her walking up and down choosing a toilet, then deciding she wants more than a pee,then she wants to wash and brush up and it ends with her having a shower after being covered in crap. The t.v almost went off after that!Poor acting,poor script,awful directing make this film a life sentence with no parole.

I hired this out knowing full well it wasn't going to be an A-Grade horror flick. But even then, I'm still disgusted at this movie. A combination of terrible actors and equally terrible dialogue made this movie almost unbearable, and not because of the gore scenes, which is the only redeeming factor to this waste of 90 minutes. The premise of the film, a haunted prison, is not given an explanation as to how it obtained such a status until the last five minutes of the film, when shonky dialogue between Poor Actor 1 and Poor Actor 2 rams a quick summary of it down the viewer's throat.The acting....disgusting. The actors showed zero emotion whatsoever. When the group of allegedly naive teenagers come across the corpse of one of their own, there is no emotion displayed. Even in the following scenes, they mention the names of the victims as if they were commenting on the weather. Pathetic acting. No emotion was showed at all. As for the ending, pffft, what ending?*Spoiler* The surviving three somehow manage to escape the prison before it blows up and miraculously manage to flag down an unidentified boat, which begins to change course and head towards them. Fade to black. Worst. Ending. Ever. It's as if the creators wanted to give the viewers one final middle-finger by tossing together a shoddy ending and tagging it on using Windows Movie Maker.All in all: Do not waste your time on this garbage. Even die-hard horror/gore fans will be disgusted by this disgraceful "film".

I'm sorry,but this movie was not good at all.the gore was not realistic,and the death scenes elicited big yawns from me.i saw no point to this movie.it is like hundreds of others and adds nothing to the horror genre.i found the acting bad even by horror movie standards.i could not finish the whole movie,because it made my jaw too sore from yawning.i don't think too many people would consider this movie a good use of their time.most people would probably stop watching long before the end.i don't know how many ways i can say this,but this movie is just not good. just in case i haven't been clear,i didn't like it.I'll give "Death Row" 1/5

I was hoping this movie would have been better.I was really disappointed.It started out really good with young filmmakers wanting to document a violent occurrence at a prison that was abandoned.They were interviewing an old prison guard who was dying.The scene was interesting and had a few good moments.And then jewel thieves broke into the prison and after a little while the movie started to go downhill.The rest of it was stupid and turning out to be more of a comedy.The special effects were lousy and laughable.The ghosts looked like images from a cartoon and the rest of the movie was nothing more than just a gore fest. The plot wasn't consistent and the reason's that were given for why it all happened was even more ridiculous.Something like, the prison got a taste of blood a long time ago and now after all that time it wants more blood. I can't believe the filmmakers actually consider this piece of crap a horror film.They actually attempted to make a scary movie.There is nothing scary about it.The only scary part is that people are renting this horrible DVD. It is a total B movie with bad acting and only one good scene which was in the beginning in the hospital room when the old man pulls the sheet off and you see what is revealed. I expected a lot more especially since Jake Busy was in it.I was hoping it would have been more like "session 9" or "identity",but it was a real joke instead.What a total waste of my time and money.
