As Clark begins an investigation into the murder, his research begins to yield ominous answers that may be better left unexplored. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Not a bad supernatural film that takes place in a haunted mental hospital. Very similar to the House on Haunted Hill remake but not quite as good. Has adequate gore and some mildly creepy moments, but not really scary at all.

Movies with disturbed children in a Mental Hospital are mostly creepy and violent than we can imagine. I liked this Piece and Lance Henrikson was great in it. I think Lance Henriksen is the Keeper of the Knowledge how to pull leading roles of creepy Movies.

Actually kinda freaky. Not scary like you are all terrified, but the images they show are pretty messed up. Good gore anyway.
