Viewing Notes

Decent little supernatural prison thriller by Renny Harlin. Was glad I had this on VHS b/c I was tempted by the recent Blu release. Don’t think I’d throw down for that but still a good watch and another solid (early) Viggo performance with some excellent practical FX. Plus Chelsea Field!!
