"The Lost Episode" and "Asylum of the Dead" are the same film....and "Pennhurst" too.A group of kids enter the haunted Asylum of Pennhurst being turned into a horror theme park. One teen tells a story about a film group that disappeared here while filming a ghost hunters episode. He tells the story that involves ghosts and an evil doctor. Much of the film is a flashback. The terror wasn't there. although they tried with jump scares that you see coming. I did like the ending, but not much more except for maybe that one scene.Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Ryan Keely) Part of a horror film 12 pack

Far from being a critic of this movie, I'm even MORE of a critic of the asinine people attempting to criticize a movie when they can't even spell or use sentence structure. I know I'm not perfect, but DAMN PEOPLE!! At LEAST learn the language if you are going to make comments about a movie!! While the movie itself is not a master work of art, at least the movie tries to have a decent plot twist unlike some of these high budget pieces of garbage that are made by studios with huge wallets. And also unlike the high budget crappy movies, the low budget movies at least try to have original ideas, even if some are dangerously close to clones of other movies. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter how good or how bad a movie is, it matters what the movie is to the VIEWER. And again - LEARN HOW TO TYPE IN UNDERSTANDABLE, STRUCTURED SENTENCES, ya twits.

I thought this movie was going to be one of those Hand-Held Camera but however they try to make it out it is like ones of those movies. I thought the plot was okay, they had decent idea of twist in this movie, even thought twist is very predicable from start of the movie. Number of people go to this building to film before they go into the building this tall guy tells not to go in and yet he goes in there with them.Thought out the movie loud noise and people screaming and the mad doctor is stalking this place after all these year!One by one they all getting killed by this made doctor in this haunted place, torture scenes were really badly done too. The movie was very boring and wasn't actually stopped watching the movie, while cleaning up and having this on in the back ground for most of time. The acting in this movie was really bad, it had laughing for most of the times, when the over act the lines2 out 10

Not a found footage movie, but rather a movie based upon what's become one of the more standard found footage movie plots. What am I talking about? Only this...Pennhurst is about a group of obnoxious teens who go to an abandoned mental hospital to screw around. While there, the most obnoxious of the bunch tells the story of a TV "ghost hunting" crew who visited that selfsame hospital and were brutally murdered. Pretty standard, yes? No! This film doesn't even try to maintain the found footage conceit. Badly chosen music, meant to be scary I suppose, crops up on the soundtrack throughout. And speaking of scary, there ain't none. Maybe two or three scenes, all of them staring the film's director/star Michael Rooker, could be considered at all scary and then only if they were taken out of context with rest of the film.If Pennhurst has a saving grace, it's that at least the cast looked like they were having fun shooting it. Which is good, because I doubt anyone else will enjoy it as much.
