shameless asrtoturfing in the comment section and obvious in the first quarter of the film and warrant an imdb registration . don not fall for it and in the dark be one of the most sloppily conceive and hackneyed and unintentionally incoherent film in a long while . a group of wild teen break into an abandon asylum on halloween night to drink and get high and and their story tell by the portable camera leave behind and come face to face with a presence seek revenge . in a vain attempt to relieve that mind numb string of clichés the screenwriter employ an admittedly novel device and augment the shaky cam with scene from the facility security camera . it unconvincing and force . all but one camera be so painfully and clearly position for the film instead of surveillance the main effect be annoyance . the character never behave like people and befall fate through a staggering display of stupidity and complete lack of sense for self preservation . aware of a threat watch them from an asylum window a they party outside and the reaction be to run into the asylum . when one of them become too overwhelm to cope and in this film logic the thing to do be put her to bed in an isolated and unlocked and unguarded room away from the rest where she will be safe . not that the viewer be give much reason to care . an all purpose stream of overlapped yell too often substitute for dialog in this scene for fright and that one excess and the next one anger . horror nor gore approach that of robocop 2 and the effect be . miss . the protagonist run around all film in freshly launder pajama grimace . it not hard to find zero budget independent horror film that deliver . this isn not one of them .
