In October 2009, the filmmakers went into an abandoned psychiatric hospital to explore the 'haunted' institution, famous for its radical treatment of patients with mental illness. Electroshock, insulin therapy, and lobotomies were commonplace. Once inside, the filmmakers quickly discovered that they were not alone.

Why it matters

A found-footage dive into the haunted ruins of a notorious psychiatric hospital that blends historical horror with supernatural dread.

  • Taps into real-world medical horrors—lobotomies, insulin shock therapy—that amplify the film’s unsettling atmosphere.
  • Practical effects and shadowy settings let the building itself become a character, dripping with decay and menace.
  • For fans of asylum-set hauntings like *Session 9* and *Grave Encounters*, it’s a raw, claustrophobic exploration of institutional trauma.
  • Found footage’s uneven pacing may test patience, but the authentic setting and grim backstory deliver a unique, eerie vibe.
