Death House Movie Reviews

How did this ever get released?

Words fail me…

I’m a huge horror fan and love low budget, indie stuff just as much as mainstream movies but there is simply nothing positive to say about this catastrophic mess.

The premise is so simple and soooo enticing but the end result is just an incoherent disaster. How could ANYONE consider this to be a finished product?

It makes no sense, characters drift in and out, scenes appear out of sequence, nothing is ever explained … it’s just a cluster of epic proportions.

The actors themselves must have watched the final cut and wondered how the hell this came together.

I am horrified that I spent money on the DVD and you can be certain it’s going straight into the bin now.

Hell isn’t a word. It is a sentence.

The Death House was founded in 1954. It is a high-security high tech prison that experiments with the inmates by wiping memories and installing new ones. They use something called “Milk of Amnesia” to add to the bad pun list. We get introduced to the facility with two new hires taking a tour, folks that don’t seem to have memories.

Level nine of the prison hold 5 prisoners known as “The Five Evils.” One female prisoner with a chainsaw has the nickname “Leather Lace.” The prison loses power and guards with automatic weapons are no match for unarmed mostly shirtless inmates. Kane Hodder leads a group of inmates. Like Jason, he can’t die.

The film’s plot was strained. A more conventional asylum could have worked better with characters that pay better homage to older films. The strength of this feature is that the cast is a who’s who of slasher horror films. Even minor and uncredited roles include major slasher stars and scream queens such as Sarah French and Danny Trejo. Many of the Troma crowd are here also. I wish they had a better script.

Guide: F-word. Nudity (Cortney Palm, Sarah French + a couple more)

Inept in just about every way you can think of

Don’t be fooled by the fact that the makers of this movie managed to round up an impressive-sounding list of beloved B movie actors – most of these players have very little screen time. Actually, that is one of the least of the problems of this absolutely terrible movie. The main problem with the movie is that it makes very little sense. The story has something to do with a special prison that is (I think) conditioning inmates in a special way, but I couldn’t describe the movie much more than that. Things seem to be happening at random and without proper explanation throughout, as if ideas from many completely different movies were being combined into this screenplay. To add insult to injury, it takes over 40% of the running time before the crisis starts to unfold, and when this does happen, the movie’s pacing doesn’t increase much more than before. And who thought it was a good idea for almost all of the second half of the movie to be filmed in almost complete darkness? The only reason why I am not giving this travesty the lowest possible rating is that some of the gore effects are pretty impressive. But even if you are a die hard gorehound, you’ll feel ripped off even if you see the movie for free on Netflix as I did.
