This film starts really crazy (well, it's a sanatorium), with a patient handling an axe repeatedly and a stupid doctor staying too close to him... Until he gets close enough and is beheaded (no actual gore is shown). That is just a sample of the rest of the film. People dumbly do random things, for dumb random reasons (when there is any). There is no actual plot, but a bunch of weak excuses for people to kill and/or get killed, until only one is left. With almost no character development, it becomes impossible to care for anyone. Also, the random violence makes the film uninteresting, as there is no build-up of anything. The ending is ridiculous, one of the patients (a giant with a child-like mind) simply kills everybody that was left, for no particular reason (I don't know, maybe in his mind, everybody left was evil, so they deserved to die or whatever).
Considering the year this film was made, I guess the production staff thought something like "everybody nowadays love to see people getting killed, so let's make a movie where everybody kills everybody", and that's more or less what goes on there, except there are not so many characters to begin with and most deaths happen only in the last few minutes (and in just a few seconds, mind you!)
Even if you are a fan of gore, stay away from this one, as there is almost no special effects (I really don't remember any, and I won't watch it again just to check that!) People are alive in one shot, someone attacks them, then they are covered in red syrup the next shot, playing "dead", and that's the extent of the special (d)effects.
With no thrills or plot, no memorable characters or acting, no good soundtrack or effects, no remarkable deaths or moments, and no anything or whatever, this film has no entertainment value, even if it's the only thing on television, on a rainy day, without Internet connection, with the batteries on your portable dead and no compatible recharger (plus, you can't sleep...!) I've seen worse films than this one, but they don't redeem this aimless mess.
