About
If you enjoy haunted-house thrill rides with creepy corridors, jump scares, and some gore, this is a solid pick, especially if you like Thir13en Ghosts; Not for you if you want subtle, character-driven horror or a consistently strong ending.
Pros: creepy asylum setting; fun jump scares; campy, entertaining tone | Cons: thin character depth; distracting flashing imagery; weak, effects-heavy finale
