Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to sit through a weak, supernatural, slasher flick which is devoid of thrills, chills or anything else to sweeten the deal. A bunch of thin, cardboard stereotypes are challenged to spend the night in a haunted prison for a reality TV show. There are dumb twists aplenty as the ghostly warden sets about killing them off. Note to filmmakers - having a bunch of bad actors playing bad actors does not make them good actors. Leaving the daft, drive-a-bus-through-the-plot-holes storyline aside, this is dull in every way. Nothing at all happens for long stretches and then very predictable murders happen slowly and without any entertainment value.
