how to begin with this one . well it start out with a horror movie cliché . it then stick to that theme for the rest of the movie . to begin with and we be introduce to madison . we be show her a a child walk down a dark hallway in her parent home while her parent be hear to be yell . hmm where have i see this before . oh and right . everywhere . anyway and it turn out that they weren not fight . the reality be that her father be insane and pitch some sort of hissy fit and and her mother be try to calm him down . he shoot himself . this sound dramatic and but in this movie it just come off a boring . year later and madison be attend orientation for college . i do not know what sort of private university this be and but i have never see dorm an eighth as nice a these . it be mention that madison and the other character will be stay in the new dorm and but the building look old and much nicer than anyplace a college student have ever stay . it be explain that the building use to be an old asylum ( clever title isn not it ) . this just make it seem stranger that the place be so nice . generally speak and old asylum weren not very nice place . i guess i should introduce the character . the movie have the good manner to do so . there be actually a scene in this movie where all the main character gather round in a circle and introduce themselves . save the filmmaker the trouble of give them back story . there be the nice guy ( whom madison nearly pepper spray for rudeness ) . there be the loud mouth douche bag guy . there be the somewhat standoffish latin girl . there be the nerdy guy ( this college age male play with a cat cradle ) . there be the slutty chick ( she never have sex with anyone and but she say slutty thing all the time ) . that cover the student . there be also some other character that should be mention . there be the campus police guy who doesn not believe anything supernatural be happen ( in his defense and he survive the movie without ever see anything even slightly otherworldly ) . there be the slow witted maintenance man who know all about the secret of the old asylum ( it bar mention that though this be the sort of character that other character humor he be scene to be do the work of an electrician and poorly i should mention ) . there be the grad student in charge of the watching over the kid ( this guy be a jerk and he never die or get any comeuppance and in fact and it like they forget about this character halfway through the movie ) . finally and there be the ghost of the doctor who run the old asylum ( he be sort of a tenth rate freddy krueger . he doesn not kill people in there dream and he just appear to people cause them to relive some painful memory . he then say that he can help them . he proceed to kill them in some manner in keep with the theme of their memory . at least and he do this for a while . towards the end he get lazy and just start stab people ) . i know it seem like i have describe these character a undeveloped and one dimensional stereotype . that be how the movie show them . a such and you really do not care about them . anyway and on to the plot . the kid stay in the dorm . they go into the old abandon section ( nobody die there ) . the light blink all creepy like ( a character even comment on how creepy this be and but i would like to point out that there be a slow witted man do electrical work at this building . maybe that have something to do with the blink light . hmmm ) the doctor kill people one at a time until it be really monotonous . madison ( she might be insane . she see thing that aren not there . it might just be the ghost and all and but i do not think so . at one point she seem an image of her dead brother shoot himself . this doesn not really seem to bother her that much . madison be weird ) and the nice guy try to investigate . they suspect the creepy maintenance guy . this be annoy since the audience know that it be a ghost kill people . he act like he be go to reveal some great big secret about the old asylum and but he really doesn not tell u anything we do not already know . the remain character ( those who haven not die or be forget by the director ) try to flee . the ghost chase them . for some reason door stop this ghost who can appear anywhere . at one point the ghost take off his lab coat to reveal that he be inexplicably wear a weird s and m outfit underneath . he keep chase them . even after they escape the building he keep chase them ( this be strange ) . they end up in a clearing in the wood . madison stab the ghost . the soul of his victim leak out of him and he disappear . madison and nice guy go away . the end . i would just like to say something about that end . madison have no reason to suspect that stab the ghost would kill him . ( by the way and why do it . ) also and we be never really tell that the doctor be hold on to his victim souls . it seem like this end be sort of a half effort rip off of the end to mortal kombat the movie . that the filmmaker choose to end their movie this way should really tell you something . don not bother watch this . it isn not scary . it isn not so bad it good . it just bad .
