In 2010 six reality television show contestants spent seven nights in an abandoned and haunted asylum. The show never aired but an editor for the network was able to piece together some footage. The prize for staying all seven nights was a share of one million dollars that was to be split amongst any contestants that didn't leave. No prize money was ever awarded.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Amber Cornell (ambercornell619) I'm not sure if this will actually have spoilers but I hit the button just in case. This movie takes a minute to get going but once it does it's quite creepy. There is some over acting and there are some holes in the story line (like why no one seemed very concerned when the other cast members came up missing or what happened to them) but all in all it is a good horror flick.There are a ton of found footage films popping up everywhere and a lot of them leave something to be desired (to say the least). This one definitely could have had some improvements, but as far as the found footage genre it's one of the better ones I've seen. The plot is not really unique, it's been done before, but the actors and effects compliment each other enough to make this movie a surprisingly eerie and creepy film. I was not expecting to get as creeped out as I did. It is definitely worth a watch if you're looking for something to give you the chills. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie and I think it was more successful than disappointing. I'd recommend it for horror buffs, especially fans of the found footage genre.
looneychrisjess I am a fan of "found footage" films. This one started out much the same way as others in the genre do, a groups of strangers spending the night in a haunted house. But comparatively, this film falls short of its competitors. Unfortunately, none of the characters were likable enough to care what befalls them. Likable characters I believe is a pretty important factor in found footage films because they are the ones revealing the story to you. But in this film, their acting seemed forced and unnatural, and natural is what you're suppose to be going for in found footage films. The characters didn't even care what was happening to each other, which just compounded the viewers lack of caring about them. The scares were too few and far between and didn't last very long. They never explain anything about the history of the house they were in, so the viewer couldn't even connect with the ghosts. The fact that nothing is explained could work for some found footage films, but not this one because it lacked so many other things. The film seemed like someones pet project, with a slightly higher video quality. I wouldn't see it again and I wouldn't recommend it to fans of the genre.
Woodyanders Six reality TV show contestants spend seven nights in an old abandoned asylum that's reputed to be haunted. Writer/director Allen Kellogg does a bang-up job with the familiar found footage premise: The characters are all believable and interesting, the real-life shut down sanitarium location radiates an authentically eerie and unsettling vibe, and the creepy atmosphere becomes more increasingly tense and unnerving as the narrative unfolds towards an absolutely terrifying conclusion. Moreover, Kellogg warrants extra kudos for not only eschewing gore in favor of mood, but also for maintaining a grimly serious no-kidding tone throughout. The convincing naturalistic acting by the able non-star cast rates as another major asset, with especially commendable work from Kellogg as the desperate Carter, Jennifer Hoffman as the knowledgeable Lina, Meredith Kochan as the perky Brooke, Larry Nehring as the jittery John, and Andrew Richardson as the jerky Randy. Coleen Moskowitz's rough hand-held cinematography gives the picture a credible and compelling immediacy. The absence of any music and expert use of ambient sound further enhance this movie's overall chilling impact. Proof positive that one doesn't need a big budget to make a damn scary and effective fright feature.
Getajob5389 The first 30-40 minutes are rough to watch, but the movie gets better from there. It was the first time in a long time that I actually jumped at a couple scenes. My recommendation is to watch it as if you and some friends were filming it, rather than watching it as you would a main stream horror film. Based on pure "scared feeling", i chose to give it a 6, which I believe is why you would watch a movie like this. If you are looking for great effects and A list acting, then continue your search. Overall, I would recommend it to a friend, but I would say to rent rather than buy it.No drugs/alcohol/sex. Scene with very light violence. Excessive swearing.
