Prison

About This Movie

So, 'Prison' from '87 is a bit of a gem, you know? The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the pacing really ramps up as the story unfolds. Charles Forsyth, wrongfully executed, haunts the prison, and when it reopens, things get dark quick. Eaton Sharpe, the warden, feels like a classic villain, a former guard who framed Forsyth. The practical effects, especially the horror elements, are refreshingly raw. There’s something about that gritty 80s vibe that really resonates, with performances that have a certain roughness to them. It’s not your usual prison flick; it dives deep into themes of justice and vengeance, making it distinct in the genre.
