Once a respected mental health facility, Cunningham Hall is now a decaying relic with too many patients and too few dollars, but when an eager young medical student named Clark Stevens accepts an internship in the asylum to finish his degree, he soon finds himself reporting for duty in a MADHOUSE.
Clark also meets Sara, a lovely young nurse who gives him a tour of the facility, including the dreaded basement, AKA The Madhouse. Clark soon grows concerned with the condition of the patients, including Alice's horrifying hallucinations and Carl's suicidal tendencies.
But Clark begins to question his own sanity when he sees the haunting figure of a young boy, who appears to be trying to warn him. Clark turns to Sara for help, and becomes increasingly attracted to her, but finds that even she has something to hide.

Leonard (Blair Witch Project) is a training psychiatrist who does his internship in a mental institution which is not what it seems.
The film is interesting in its delivery and approach and the gore is quite high for a 15 film and quite well done. There are a few surprises and the film does not take an easy way out which is quite nice to see in a film of this ilk.
If youre a horror fan then you may find this enjoyable. It is not great but it has its moments.
This was a creepy film which reminded me a little of games like "Silent Hill", although not as scary. I did expect it to be a lot gorier and more frightening, but there were some good moments. Some parts - the murders - were almost cartoony and Clark, the main character had a really bad hairstyle. Not integral to the plot I guess, but it bugged me!
The one thing I liked most was the twist at the end. Whilst it really was nothing new or original, I didn't see it coming and was quite impressed.
