although most of it seems like it until the end which I will not reveal. Very different than most of the films labeled horror in the 1980's.
It had lots of blood and gore-the blood in the heater vents stands out.
The thing that bugged me the most was the dark hallways-would never happen-and closed doors where the patients had access to knifes, etc
The acting in some cases was over the top but not in a bad way.
Still, I felt cheated by the ending resolution.
5 out of 10.

I disagree. This is most definitely a horror movie with a more plausible than usual story in the long run.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Of course it's a horror film. It just isn't the type of horror film you would expect - namely, a Nightmare on Elm Street rip-off. It was certainly marketed that way, and the film wants you to think that's what it is, which I thought was kind of clever.

Nah, it's a horror.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS
How does it make this a non-horror, just because it turns out there wasn't a ghost? All the scares and gore in this film is created by the thought of a beyond-the-grave murderer. So what if at the very end the twist is that all the patients died under the influenced of heavily psychoactive drugs? That still left an evil killer lurking around: the mad psychiatrist with a theory he was obsessed to prove, even if it meant the loss of every patient and even the good doctor. It's a ghost film that doesn't believe in ghosts, it doesn't still make it a non-horror.
Besides, there is one aspect that still leaves this into the category of the supernatural. The main character ALWAYS knows who will die next. Even if the cult leader would be only a hallucination, that very hallucination always gives her a heads up about which group member is going to kick the bucket. How do just drugs do that?

Some of this movie feels a little ahead of its time. Some of the dialogue, humor, and the Ralph and Lana characters, remind me of the 90's. Kind of 90ish.

No, this IS very much a horror movie.

this is more like a psychological movie giving you the impression its a horror movie until the ending, sorry but prescription drugs that causes hallucinations of some cult leader practising mass suicide should not be in a horror movie. k, why is this dude giving the patient's this drugs for in the first place? was it harris brother? did I miss something? the impression I had was harris wasn't real to begin with. This movie is a bit uneven, drawn out and decieveing in its movie catagory. not bad, but not great either.
