2018 ·1h 28m · ★ 3.7 (53)

During an exclusive tour, a power breakdown inside a secret prison known as the Death House sends two agents fighting through a labyrinth of horrors while being pursued by a ruthless army of roaming inmates. As they fight to escape, the agents push toward the lowest depths of the facility where they learn a supernatural group of evil beings is their only chance for survival.

Why it matters

A claustrophobic blast of old-school brutalism and blood-soaked madness that channels ’80s haunted-house gore with a modern grindhouse edge.

  • Practical effects carnage by KNB EFX Group turns every inmate into a grotesque nightmare come to life.
  • Fans of locked-down, survival-horror scenarios will dig its relentless maze of threats and escalating body count.
  • More atmosphere than narrative coherence — a lean-in-for-the-weird cult vibe over polished storytelling.
  • For viewers who crave raw, unapologetic practical effects mayhem over subtlety or thematic depth.
