“I watched this mostly because I am a HP Lovecraft fan and this is loosely based on his story, The Lurking Fear. His name isnu0026#39;t in the credits, but itu0026#39;s clearly inspired by him, by the use of the name Martense and there unique eye coloring.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEssentially in the story, mysterious deaths happen around an old decayed mansion, and the narrator slowly discovers the horrible cause.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHere, thereu0026#39;s no subtlety, a crew goes into an abandoned asylum. Only you donu0026#39;t really see that much. It jumps around and it basically turns into a sadistic torture porn story with the two lead characters, one being Robert Davi looking ridiculous with emo hair and a silly hat.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd while itu0026#39;s somewhat sadistic, itu0026#39;s not particularly gory. There are no scares, either, like i said, sadism seems the goal. But itu0026#39;s lame, as there is no character development except maybe for the bald sheriff.”
