Starring:David Caruso, Peter Mullan, Stephen Gevedon,Paul Guilfoyle, Josh Lucas, and Brendan Sexton III
Here We Go: The movie is set around the naturally creepy Danvers State Hospital. The location is what makes this worth watching because until about the last ten minutes you don't really encounter anything "scary." It's a slow developing story that introduces you to an asbestos abatement team working to clean out the abandoned hospital in just one week. The movie seems to try to go to great lengths to show you details of the asbestos abatement process (mostly unnecessary for the plot) but at the same time the work crew uses the wrong equipment and seemingly has no problem breathing in asbestos or rubbing it into their eyes during breaks. If you get past the technical deficiencies, the story is solid and the acting of Caruso and Mullan as the two main characters is excellent. The ending left something to be desired but the first 90 minutes are worth watching and the setting of the hospital makes for an interesting story.
Bottom Line: Worth watching but don't spend money for the rental.
