First let me start by saying I'm not really much of a fan of the "found footage" genre in the first place. But, done right, they can produce an effective horror story with genuine scary moments.
Unfortunately, this movie is not one of those. And the blame, imo, largely lies with the script. It is so banal and childish and insipid, I wonder if this wasn't a deliberate ploy on the part of the director to get the audience to develop an intense hatred for the characters before they even got to the front door of the hospital. By the time they bully their way into the building, you're rooting for the ghosts to inflict just (if not more) pain on the S. P. I. T as they have already done to those watching this.. Seriously, I had no empathy or sympathy for any of them whatsoever.
Special effects, considering the obvious budget constraints weren't that bad, but that was pretty much the only thing that wasn't in this stinker.
Acting was dire, plot we've seen exactly before in other movies and it brought nothing fresh to the genre. And did I mention the appalling script? (Yes, I did).
