Oddest Garbage Perhaps ever made.

The plot

An eleven-person riot squad races to an insane asylum to quell a recent inmate outbreak and hostage situation.

They arrive, only to be caught off guard by a sudden barrage of insane patients.

When they've finally fought off a wave, two of their squad members are missing, their communications return only static, and the doors are locked.

They're trapped.

They break up into three teams to track down the lost members.

Strange sounds and religious iconography suggest something beyond insanity has taken over the inmates.

Sure enough, a simple rescue mission quickly morphs into relentless life or death battles with possessed.

When McGahey, a trained, rational hostage negotiator, discovers the ringleader of this possessed insanity is none other than his brother, it falls on him to stop nothing less than the opening of a portal to Hell.

This is one bizarre movie.

It's sort of like Mystery Science Fiction Theatre. Very hard to describe and follow.

It starts out with a priest and then cuts to these guys who appear to be editing or adding special effects to a movie.

The rest of the movie shifts back and forth between the asylum and voice over of these two editors making dumb funny comments about the movie which, BTW was supposed to be found footage, and the producer back in the US.

It's nearly impossible to watch. Nothing makes sense.

Stephen Rhea has really dropped into the abyss.

Words cannot describe how bad this movie is.
