a few year ago i saw a movie call madhouse that be pretty good . not as good a another similar one call session 9 and but still a fairly entertaining horror thriller about a mental institution . i expect something of the same with the sickhouse and but i suppose it be mean to describe an orphanage from the late 17th century that have be infect with the bubonic plague . we get a brief history lesson at the beginning of the movie about how the plague sweep through london in 1665 and kill 15 % of the city population in a single summer . an american archaeologist think she have uncover an ancient black cult involve priest and the plague victim and but she be brush off by a british colleague and who be indifferent to her interest despite frighten revelatory evidence that she have uncover . public health and she say and sometimes have to be put before archaeology . enter a car full of british punk and scream through the street in a stolen car and film themselves use a steal video camera . before long and midnight strike and they run over someone or something in the street and come skidding to a stop and and we cut back to anna and the american archaeologist and who have somehow stumble upon a buried 17th century street . this be where i get lose and and i stay lose for pretty much the rest of the movie . we see clock strike midnight a lot and so clearly something happens at midnight and but it never really very clear what it be . and what be the deal with the buried street . i guess the plague be so traumatic that that just pave over the old street and build modern london on top of it . i have no idea . anna be a huge problem in the movie . she claim to have this huge historical knowledge ( and also do that intolerable thing late in the movie where everyone be fearful for their life and she be frantically give history lesson ) and but be astonishingly clueless about how to handle the plague . at one point and one of the character be supposedly infect with the plague and so they put him in a wire cage and then anna suggests that they all go wash their hand . wow and all those primitive londoner have to do be wash their hand . think of all the life that could have be save . the movie soon leave any story behind and descend into a shabby special effect display that remind me of old nightmare on elm street movie . and if the special effect weren not bad enough and they also throw in the i do not think any of this be real thing and so none of it matter anyway . the story and rather than have much of anything to do with a mental institution or the plague and be about an orphanage in which a series of terrible thing happen to five of the orphan . surprise and there be five character in the movie and and a anna explains and history seem to be repeat itself . no reason be give but none be need . this be standard and 9th grade creative writing . now we have the catalyst that introduce death design which be kick to death with three final destination and provide a weak drive for the rest of the movie . there be a romantic moment at the very end of the film that be spectacularly out of place and dissolve immediately any character development that might have come before and and like much of the rest of the movie and it end with a small child whisper some utter nonsense to u . we be tell that the plague doctor will live on forever and and you be a malignant host and an infant herald of doom . what . well and let me give you a little chronology . the sixth sense 9 year old boy see dead people . ghost town annoy british dentist see dead people . the sickhouse american archaeologist see dead british people . that would be really interesting if the movie be release in that order .
