Projection Booth - 8/10 by Rob HumanickRecommended only to viewers with blood alcohol concentrations well above the legal driving limit.
User Review - 10/10 by Jeff BI can't say i hate it cause it was my favorite movie when i was growing up so I enjoyed it. The girl's shirt flying off was the best part in the whole movie haha
User Review - 10/10 by Ivan BVjerojatno prvi horror koji sam ikad pogledao u komadu prije nesto vise od 10ak godina dok su vikendom na HRT-u u kasnom terminu vrtili takve filmove ostao mi je u dobrom sjecanju.Ima sve kaj treba-jezivu atmosferu umobolnice, glazbu ala Silent Hill(mislim na igricu, ne film), zlog undead psihijatra kojem svijetle oci kad popizdi, par dobrih sisa, ludog Irca piromana i zombije ;)
User Review - 10/10 by The NMy buddy Jason Slate and his dad Jeremy are in this movie!
User Review - 8/10 by Lee ?If anything deserves a whole star for the evil doctor's red eyes looking better than CGI and not being CGI
User Review - 8/10 by Jonathan YClassic 80's schlock about a crazed doctor who tears and out plays with peoples brains before throwing them into a pit who is killed by another doctor who covers the pit up. Twenty years later, a mysterious young woman arrives to the mental hospital where the pit reopens and the ghost doctor starts taking orderlies and patients out one by one again. In the climax of the film, it turns into a crazy ass zombie movie where the people from the doctor's dead pit come out and rip everyone's brains out. It's a crazy and silly movie that is a lot of fun to watch, especially for out in the open boom mikes and terrible model settings for big action moments. The main lead chick is pretty hot and shows her titties off once and runs around in a very skimpy outfit the rest of the movie. Good debut from the underrated Brett Leonard (Lawnmower Man, Feed, Man-Thing). Classic 80's material.
User Review - 8/10 by Chris CDecent setting, slightly spooky atmosphere, and a nice amount of gore make this late 80's zombie flick fun viewing for a rainy day.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin WThis was a highly enjoyable horror movie from the late 80's. I had always wanted to see this movie and could always remember the cover of the VHS tape with the zombie coming out of the pit. It had some pretty good gore and a pretty good story. The acting was a little weak but that didn't affect the movie one bit. Cheryl Lawson was fairly attractive and had to be since she was in her underwear most of the movie. Also had the mandatory nudity.
User Review - 8/10 by Bill BSurprisingly watchable zombie flick from the late 80's. The plotting stumbles here or there, but the visual flair and camerawork makes up for it and keeps things interesting. Recommended for the horror fan.
User Review - 8/10 by ken jWhat i would have to believe is a very underated horror flick just released on dvd is worth a watch for the 80's horror fans or fans of horror in general story starts off with a mad doctor who is shot in the head when he is found to be doing weird experiments on mental patients. 20 years later same hospital a woman walks in and a earthquake follows letting the angry doctor loose and the mental patients turned into zombie like creatures lots of good horror blood and gore fun
