By far the worst movie ever
Horrible movie, it wasn't even funny.
shareI don't know what you were watching. I thought it was a lot of fun.
Yeah, they were definitely trying to push the edge on gruesomeness. The push through the fence was a new one on the collapsing room theme.
Life is never fair, and perhaps it is a good thing for most of us that it is not.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it's one of the worst movies ever, there are worse offenders out there (a Leslie Nielsen vehicle - titled "Naked Space" for dvd - comes to mind), but yes it was egregiously bad. The 'acting' of the ghost inmates stood out particularly as an element that often took you right out of the film and reminded you that you're watching a film and a bad one at that; making it seem like a college kids' ill-conceived feature film project acted by friends with little or no acting experience. Some of the main actors weren't so bad and Trejo is always decent.
The implausibilities are too numerous to mention, even for a horror movie, giving it minimal credibility even for a project of minimal budget. The B-grade CGI effects were none too impressive, the low-budget Aussie film "Undead" kicked its butt it that category (and every other one for that matter).
I'd be curious to hear what the budget was for this film and if Sci-Fi Channel is interested in giving me the same amount to produce something that probably couldn't turn out any worse than this. It probably even made House of the Dead 2 seem better, but maybe not RotLD: Necropolis, both shown on Sci-Fi Channel before going (almost) straight-to-dvd. Their track record isn't too good so far with their big premiere movies. My friends and I could write better zombie films than those 2 films (I weep for Mark A. Altman's career post-"Free Enterprise"). The script for "Haunted Prison" wasn't good either and some of the dialogue was downright laughable, and not in the way a writer would want it to be. Better luck next time Sci-Fi Channel.
Ok, let me rephrase it, worst horror movie ever.
The acting is beyond laughable, the characters in the movie have single digit IQs, and the deaths are not particularly good.
In a horror movie, I like a decent storyline or a gorefest. This was neither.
Maybe I have SciFi to thank for the lack of gore, but probably not.
Lack of gore?
O.o.
Dude.
W-T-F.
QUOTE: "By far the worst movie ever."
Not even close, dude.
The special effects were awesome. The deaths rocked. The acting was good.
Most people who see a film that they hate, stop watching. Sounds like it was viewed entirely with the venom spewed about it. If it the film was shut off early, then it was never given a chance. Too bad.
I thought it was quite funny during some parts..just because of how unrealistic the deaths were. And I mean unrealistic for even a HORROR movie, haha. But it wasn't the worst I've saw..I thought Jake Busey was really the best thing about it.
ROOTING FOR A.J. OR MELROSE FOR AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL!
I thought it was great. Just the right thing I was in the mood to watch on a saturday night.

I am not into gore, but like its said above it had my attention when I was just wanting to veg out.
It was an effective movie.
I watched most of the movie, but I guess I missed the scene where a person got pushed through the bars by the chains or something like that....was that the first death? Or was that some where later... I saw the licences plate machine death, the girl getting chopped in half, barb wire, electric chair, and the guy who was impaled, but not that scene... plus sadly I missed a little of the end where I guess they explained why everything was happening...I think that was right before that one guy fell in the fire at the end...so pretty much I don't know why everything happened and I don't really remember the characters names, but oh well... it was watchable to say the least, but I was watching law & order too.
sharebut it was worth watching at least Jamie Elle Mann in the shower
