Prison of the Dead

2000 · 73 min Horror
2.8 / 10 · TMDB

Kristof, an eccentric rich kid, tricks his high school friends into getting back together for a reunion of sorts, under the pretense of a funeral. The group of twenty-somethings is forced to spend the night in an old abandoned witches' prison. During a Ouija Board séance, the schoolmates accidentally unearth three dead executioners from their graves. A little confused, and quite a bit angry, the Crypt Keepers initiate a killing spree that will only end when everyone is dead. Fortunately, the schoolmates all wore black. Too bad it's for their own funerals...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a straightforward slasher framework, relying on the creepy setting of an abandoned prison and the trope of a séance gone wrong. It explores familiar character dynamics and builds tension through isolation and the shadowy confines of the old building.

What lingers after the credits is the simple, grimy charm of a late-night creature feature, complete with practical effects and a plot that serves its purpose of delivering genre thrills. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: David DeCoteau
