The Purgation plot

"There's No Place Like Hell"

As a little girl, Iris wanted to be a filmmaker. For the past five years she has been working as a director of an unsuccessful reality show. Iris sees an opportunity to prove herself when she is ordered to return to her hometown of Black Falls. In Black Falls is a remote insane asylum, where shock therapy was gruesomely applied to patients. Iris films inside the insane asylum and thinks back to the horror films she filmed there as a little girl with her friends. At this point, Iris doesn't know how much trouble awaits her...

A Missed Opportunity Horror Film...

Our intro feels nostalgic, with the Muse of young friends in the moment doing what makes for a fun adventure. Like many youths out there, adventures can often lead to mysteries and possibly even lead into trouble, or characters are having that moment.

Strangeness is creeping into our young characters' adventure, and it's actually quite traumatic at their age, heck most ages. Even though the film started with a Goosebumps vibe, it felt a bit more tragic than usual. It appears that the trauma that happened to our characters before is still kind of prevalent in their lives today.

Our film is finally getting interesting, and It's really becoming fun to watch and feel the madness unveiling itself. It got truly bizarre and found its bearing in the finale and its conclusion.

Overall, it was an entertaining story, with novel practical effects and an ending that made me smile.
