Sanatorium
On a bitterly cold December night, a paranormal investigations team has set their sights on the bloody Hillcrest Sanatorium to answer the age old question: Is there life after death? With rumours of hauntings and local children gone missing, they may just get their answer the hard way when members of the team mysteriously disappear, leaving behind unnerving evidence.

hyped garbage
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
SANATORIUM is yet another completely familiar and routine found footage horror film. Once again we follow around a dull young cast playing some paranormal investigators shooting a new location for their TV series. They head off to a long-abandoned sanatorium, with the usual night vision footage making up the bulk of the proceedings. There's very little in the way of horror, just lots of creeping around and not much in the way of a script; I found it very dull, and not at all frightening.
Truly nothing new in the found footage genre. After all these years it's getting to seem like they all blend together. This movie starts out like many before and is a bit monotonous at times as well as over dramatic. However, as the movie builds there are some quite good scenes to satisfy both the found footage fans and horror fans alike. This especially goes for the ending.
I was highly impressed. The plot has been used many times, but this movie was produced VERY well, the actors/actresses did a great job (and the characters were well "written"), and I actually had to sleep with all my lights on after watching. Lol. It's not often a horror flick does that to me :-D I truly hope there will be a sequel to this movie!!
A friend of mine invited me over his house to watch this movie, I thought at first it would be scary because we were told the movie was so but after watching it we were speechless and I'll explain why. I really love found-footage horror films, they are quite realistic and often are scarier than the traditional one but this movie wasn't, in fact it was very predictable, boring, typical and failed at trying to scare. I remember watching another movie like this (I can't remember its name) but it was exactly the same movie, same story and even same ending, the lack of originality is evident and you'll see no attempt to enhance that during the movie, it is definitely awful but I gave 2 stars to it just because the acting was decent. There's one thing you have to keep in mind, if an horror film failed at its purpose which is to make you scared then think twice before wasting your time in a ninety-minute movie.
