Final Thoughts on Sanatorium
Sanatorium does some things right but it just struggles to stand out, and while I respect that it goes for realism, atmosphere, and subtlety rather than cheap jump scares, but when the story follows such a familiar path, it’s hard for the film to leave a strong impression on you. It definitely doesn’t bring much new to the table, and while I don’t regret watching it, it’s not a film that I will remember too fondly, but if you like Grave Encounters and Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, you will probably find something to like here to make it worthwhile enough, just.

Basically, a "Grave Encounters" clone with a pinch of "Blair Witch" mythos about a paranormal research group investigating an old, deserted sanatorium. Found footage format which is just like watching an episode of "Ghost Hunters", except the ghosts bite back in a big way. Well made with some good scares and a lot of 'out-of-the-corner-of-your-eye' stuff but nothing really new to add to the genre. -- DrNostromo.com
