Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzA low-budget chilling jailhouse ghost story drama.
Dread Central - 8/10 by Steve "Uncle Creepy" BartonPrison is a gritty and gorgeous horror flick that's not only well acted and engaging but also delivers some shockingly fun and grisly deaths.
Lessons of Darkness - 8/10 by Nick SchagerA horror film in which staging gruesome deaths becomes a lame substitute for creating tension and eeriness.
User Review - 10/10 by Kayla KWATCH MY UNCLE LANE SMITH-LEGEND OF BAGGAR VANCE-MYCOUSIN VINNY-ETC. WAS THE ORIGINAL JACK NICHOLSON ROLE ON BROADWAY FOR ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST!!!
User Review - 10/10 by Jonna kit was a wery good one even thou it was old.. and it was kind of funny in some spots xD
User Review - 8/10 by Jeff LFor a long time now I been looking and looking for this film, and when I finally found it i was surprised and happy that I enjoyed it. But it was a bit weak in some parts.
User Review - 8/10 by Allan CI don't understand how this film has gotten such a bad rap over the years, it's stood the test of time and is still shocking and emits a solid scare factor. The acting is above average for an 80's slasher film and the special effects look great. Still the story does present a few holes from time to time, who cares today it's a great cult classic that few have given the time of day.
User Review - 8/10 by Shawn RSeveral years back, prisoner Charles Forsyth is wrongfully executed for a murder he did not commit, thanks in part to a shady guard (the late, great Lane Smith) which is clouded in controversy, thus resulting in the shutdown of the prison. Now, after several years, the prison is re-opening, with Smith as its Warden, and 300 prisoners are moved in to help renovate the prison, including then-unknown Viggo Mortenson (Lord of the Rings Trilogy, A History of Violence, Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3), who resembles the executed prisoner. When the old electrocution chamber is reopened, the evil spirit of Forsyth roams the prison (via a combination of ectoplasm and electricity), killing off inmates and guards alike. This Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger, A Nightmare on Elm Street 4) directed film is an absolute gem that DESPERATELY needs a transferal to DVD and Blu-ray. Thanks to excellent direction from Harlin and a surprisingly good cast, which also includes Tommy "Tiny" Lister (Wishmaster 2, Friday), Tom Everett (Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3, Friday the 13th 4), Chelsea Field (The Birds II: Land's End), and the great Kane Hodder (Friday the 13th Parts 7-10, Hatchet, a million other movies), Prison manages to exceed on many levels, delivering a fun story, surprisingly decent effects, good kills, and an overall fun movie. Like I said, this needs to be put on DVD badly. A terrific, underrated, hidden gem. I highly recommend people to seek this one out.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UThis is a great supernatural thriller,and much underated in my opinion. A bit Shawshank meets the Shining. I cant understand why it's not more well known!
User Review - 8/10 by Matthew AAt first I doubted that I'll enjoy this movie very much, but as it went on the movie kept on getting better and better. It's about an evil spirit trapped in a prison after his execution that wanted revenge. I loved the elements of horror in this and the deaths very quite constructive too. Barbed wire one was my favourite. Overall a pretty intense horror flick with a variety of characters and lots of deaths. Though I was quite confused about the connection between Viggo Mortensen's character to the evil spirit.
