What a waste of a waste of time. I could have researched a couple episodes of Friends or Quantum Leap. The story is boring, which is really quite sad because sanitariums and asylums are like the easiest creepy things to make scary. The acting is bad, the story is bad, the camera action is bad, the producing is bad, the writing and casting are bad. - @Thursday, May 18, 2017 7:58 AM

I saw this on a movie streaming site and was interested but now I see James Franco in it I can't help but think "nah, it's gonna be a horrible movie". - @Thursday, March 16, 2017 5:09 PM

I´m starting to think James Franco is becoming the new Nicolas Cage, he is just accepting every single part he´s offered. or at least that´s what it seem... very crappy movie. - @Tuesday, March 7, 2017 4:36 PM

I noticed a palm tree outside the institute building in the movie trailer. Was this really possible in 1897 Baltimore? I live in LA and palm trees that tall tend to be very old, which raises the question how could it survive the winters in Baltimore, Maryland for at least 30 plus years? - @Tuesday, March 7, 2017 8:51 AM

when a guy says that his methods are to chain u up naked, and whip you...why would you think it's to make you "better" - @Saturday, March 4, 2017 11:33 PM

I just finished watching this piece of s*** movie. They dupe you with the opening credits. They show real photos of the real Rosewood in Maryland. They also say it's based on true events. The only true events are the pictures in the credits. Pamela Anderson is listed second in the credits on IMDb but she's in the movie for literally 2 seconds and has no lines. Also Eric Roberts is in this.....you know it's not a high quality production when he is in it, but not listed in the titles. They use fill-in secondary characters with big names like Josh Duhamel Etc but they don't do anything for the story. The movie makes no sense and is basically a cult slasher film in the end. I would not recommend this to anyone. Seriously very bad!! - @Saturday, March 4, 2017 10:01 PM
