Investigation 13

Cartoons! WTF! The cartoons completely take you out of the movie. The acting is terrible and the story has been done to death. Nothing original about this.

Bad acting, bad skript, bad "effekts", bad story, bad asylum, bad direction, bad cartoon scenes, bad everything. I feel sorry for Meg Foster whose career seems to have taken a very dark turn.

Couldn't even watch the whole film. Bad acting and what's with the cartoon crap. If I want comic book crap I'll read a comic book. Movies with flashbacks should use real actors to portray the story. I think what bothered me most was that a talent like Meg Foster had to submit to being in this awful film

They may call themselves actors but they stink. I mean I am game for cheezy horror but come on, man! There are times when the acting is descent and then times I wonder if I am watching a HS play. Who hired these people? Solid but overused story. Also the wig they put the main actress in was terrible.

This is another investigation of a haunted asylum with a back story of an insane killer. On the plus side, it is not found footage. Stephanie Hernandez is set up to be the final girl, as she is the only girl. We don't get to know the characters very well. The location looked so familiar, I thought I had seen this film before. This placed was used in another haunted film that falls out of the memory hole, as this one will. Not the worse film out there, just light on the paranormal. Guide: F-word. No sex. Cartoon male nudity.

Only cartoon part was bit good, because it shown some reality in story such as abuse, violence, cause of diseases that can start in childhood and family in form of bad childhood and abusive family. A bit hot modern girl maybe. But everything else is so fake, unclear, unreal, unexplained. No story. No details. No reality. Some shady dark evil characters and even picture from movie cover is not anywhere found in the movie, like in most bad movies. Not even completed. Could not understand anything, as some kids are learning how to record something.

I saw this film at home on blu ray and I think it's great. I was entertained the entire time. The ghost/slasher/threat in this film is charismatic and believably scary. The sets are very believable as an abandoned hospital and the scenery is very grungy and worn out as you would expect such a setting to be, which reminds me very much of the boiler room in the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. One thing that makes this film unique are the storybook sequences that show the childhood of the killer, they are very well drawn, animated and voiced. I really loved to see these storyboard sequences and let me tell you, it looks like a lot of work was out into these. This aspect is what makes the experience of watching this film very unique. The actor who plays The Mole Man does a great job and he is very scary. He is the embodiment of fear and torture, as an unbeatable and evil wraith in the vein of Freddy Kreuger and Jason Vorhees. The other best part of the movie was the actress who played the character Melanie Gates. She has charisma and really stands out among the cast. She delivered her lines very well and convincingly. I could see her starring in a crime drama or tv show like CSI or something. It was a treat to see the actress Meg Foster appear in this one too. She gives off a very creepy vibe as the caretaker of the abandoned hospital. All in all, a great movie to watch late at night while eating a big bowl of popcorn and drinking some beer. I would watch it again! The cast and crew in general worked hard and it really shows! Watch this movie on a Friday or Saturday night and you won't regret it.
