The Lost Episode
(2012)

This movie uses actual Pennhurst events for cheap scares
This movie was shot at the actual Pennhurst asylum and it absolutely didn't respect the history of the hospital. It was once a shame to America because of how the doctors and nurses were treating the "children". (When the hospital was still in operation, the staff had referred to the patients as "children" no matter how old they were.) As someone who studies the hospital for over a decade now because I would have been sent there, it was heartbreaking to see and hear the characters use the "Dr. Fear" situation as a joke. Dr. Jesse Fear admitted that he was "punishing" the patients just because he didn't like them or that they annoyed him during the documentary Suffer The Little Children. There's more horrible things that the hospital did, I'm not saying it here because it's even more graphic than this dumpster fire of a movie by far.

Some of the acting was okay. Michael Rooker did a pretty good preformence as Dr. Death, and while the kills were cheap he really was creepy, talking to the characters as if they were patients. The only kill I like and was relieved to see was the eye death in the dentist chair. I know what the chair was used for when the hospital was still around, so I assumed they would mock the history of the hospital by doing the same "punishment" that patients went through. That's why I'm happy that the kill was different from history. As for the other characters I can't even remember their names because they were so incredibly annoying and disrespectful to the history and people who suffered there.

From a disabled woman, don't watch it if you ever want to study the place and want it to be respected.
