Thanks for the memories!

Nice effects though.

A lot of fun.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Very shocked at the bad rating this film has on here. Dark Feed I would argue, is a little hidden gem in a long list of generic slasher films. Compared to many, it has a lot more originality and suspense.I've watched so many of these types of films and many are forgettable, All the boys love Mandy Lane being a great example of this. By this I mean in that you've seen it all before, teens go somewhere get killed, blah, blah. This film though, has something about it and where it falls short of classic status, it makes up for in uniqueness.Dark Feed is a very darkly lit film and effects with torches and clever lighting, work so well in upping the scare factor. The environment, the abandoned psychiatric ward, is the stand out feature and is extremely creepy and unnerving. It therefore becomes almost like a prison and a tomb creating a kind of claustrophobia as the film develops.It scores higher on the eerie, suspense scale than on the kill scene one and this is where it has probably been marked down, by slasher film fans. I also have to say, I don't get all the negative bitching about the acting. It's not noticeabley atrocious compared to a lot of other films in the genre and so this is an unfair criticism.At the very least, I'd definitely recommend checking this film out. It gets a well deserved 7 out of 10, a cut above the average slasher film. Certainly remember the Rasmussen brothers, as these guys have some talent.

A film crew has taken over an abandoned psychiatric hospital with a dark past. The crew is filming a low budget film and using the hospital as its set and production headquarters. The story picks up with the screenwriter Chris (Rudick) visiting the set for the first time. It becomes clear that an evil force is at work which may be circulating through the water system in the creepy old place. The evil possesses different individuals as creepy things move in shadows down long hallways. Chris must figure out what is happening before it is too late. This low budget chiller is from the writers of John Carpenter's film "The Ward" which was also set in an insane asylum. Brothers Michael and Chris Rasmussen write produce and debut as co-directors on this film that doesn't sound like much on paper but is quite a nice surprise. The Rasmussen's let their location work for them much like Brad Anderson did in the superb "Session 9", as they ring out every drop of atmosphere they can. The acting and even dialog isn't anything to get excited about but the brothers Rasmussen show good skill at delivering creepy scares and some gore. There are several surprises that catch the viewer off guard and deliver a shock. One inspired sequence happens inside an Elevator with actress Rachel (Whitehurst) that is sure to raise goose bumps. Along with the creeps this movie supplies, the Rasmussen's also deliver some gory and memorable death scenes that add to the fun. The cause of the strange happenings isn't fully explained but it seems intentional, these guys leave some of that up to your imagination. The ending is just the right tone for this film. These brothers obviously love Horror films and it shows in this tight little scare show.

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.

So this movie had all the things needed to make a great movie. Spooky (though stereotypical) setting, hot actors and actresses, decent acting, spooky lighting, (not great) but not awful special effects...And it all added up to crap. Absolute crap.This movie made me sad..... sad I sat all the way through it. Trust me, I watch BAD movies. So bad my husband won't watch them with me. This one had so much potential that I kept sitting there waiting for it to get good - but it never did. Next thing I know it's over, and I'm wondering how the hell nothing exciting ever happened, no one I liked died, no one I liked lived, and some girl I know nothing about is playing with a staple gun.I want my hour and a half back, and I want to use it to watch a decent movie like, say, Pandorum, instead.The Ward was mildly entertaining, but without John Carpenter - no one should give these guys ANY funding.
