Featured reviews
A movie with such a good potential but sadly it ended to be really bad. The action takes too long to settle, the acting is bad, and actors are just caricatures of how someone you who don't understand this generation and internet views it. The movie try so hard to drown you with it's message " bouhou young people are stupid and they watch stupid things that some stupids ones do just to be famous" god knows this is so annoying. And this plot twist, a good idea, easy but not previsible but they failed it, cause of that goddamn kid's acting, 0 credibility. Plus they try to fix it but for a final it's too long and have absolutely no sense, at the end you're like " wtf ? ".
It is sad, such a good idea wasted like a lot before this one. Watch it if you want to spend your time, for me, I'm not watching it again. One that you forget easily.
I have to admit, I didn't know the movie was German. If I had known, believe me, I wouldn't have clicked. But it was in the top ten ranking on Netflix, I repeat, I didn't know anything about the movie, so I clicked. Oh boy. What a waste of time.
Why, and I am asking this as a German, why are German productions like this? For once, we didn't steal from Hollywood, I think, had a decent idea on a historically valuable building and its background and that's the outcome? Wow. We literally failed every film academy class one could think of. From script to special effects. Too bad. The idea was so good. Not original, we are talking about an asylum here, which literally created the horror genre, but good. Solid. If only they did a little more research on the patients, on the history. What a great movie this could've been. Not necessarily horror but drama.
The worst thing is people donated money so the film could be shot. In a crowd funding on the web! I hope they didn't want their money back after they've watched it.

I've seen way better Found Footage movies. Even with all the spins and twists, this probably will not entice you too much. On the other hand, how is this different or worse than any other of the many FF movies out there? Yes from a story standpoint it tries to give it a spin (especially towards the end), but overall this is business as usual and shocking moments as usual as well.
The acting is overall ok, though I would totally understand if you feel differently. Either go with the flow and the ridiculous premise(s) or better not watch at all

From the trailer, it looks very interesting and scary, but over the course of the film I discovered that it's a garbage and boring cliché film, pseudofoundfootage, with a script written by a sequel.
The basic idea of a horror movie revolving around a bunch of YouTube influencer who are searching the next thrill for a couple of likes more is quite good. Even the setting is excellent, and the stories behind the sanitarium have potential. But after 10 minutes into the movie, you get sick by the lame comments and actings of those main characters. All of them are exchangeable, so they leave no impression whatsoever behind. As a matter of fact, you wish they die fast and cruelly. As much as I like setting and atmosphere - which really grows denser the longer the movie takes - at the same time I disliked all of the lead characters, which made the movie unwatchable.
Did you know
- TriviaIt's about the sanatorium in Beelitz, but it was made in the sanatorium in Oranienburg, Grabowsee.
- GoofsThe blood splatter on the camera lense that can be seen in the final video of Chris (at around 1:23:35) is the same as when Finn was filming after being spat on by Theo. The blood drops are put on the screen in a completely identical position, revealing it to be a digital post production effect.
