Bad Building (2015)
The Desmond - the building's pleasant sounding name hides a troubled past. The high rise has a long history of fires, murders, madness and even colonial era genocide upon the site. The towering building has stood empty for the better part of a century and even squatters dare not enter it's fortress like walls. But now Johnny Craig, the host of the popular TV paranormal investigation show 'America's Most Haunted' is planning to do a prime-time special from inside The Desmond. With no known way in, or out, Craig has contacted a group of urban explorers to help him and his film crew enter the building. But when Craig and his team set foot inside The Desmond the events that caused the building to be abandoned in the first place begin to repeat.

It's almost a shame this movie didn't crest over the point when a movie is SO bad...it's good. I kept waiting for that moment but it never came. But it came close, and here are those moments. The first moment was when the "film crew" was entering the "bad" building, and a few "creepy" bald guys peered out from hiding spots to watch them walk by. Their make-up was just terrible enough to be hilarious. Oddly enough the creepy blue man group never made another appearance in the film, almost like the filmmakers forgot they added them and include them into the "plot" later. The second moment was when one of the female cast members, (I don't remember her name because there is virtually no character development in the movie)was pointing a gun into a room, and the door slammed shut on her hand, severing the hand off. What makes this scene hilarious is there is no attempt from the other characters to administer first aid of any kind. One would assume, at minimum a tourniquet would be used to stop the expected bleeding. One of the male cast says, "You're going to be OKAY"! A very funny thing to say to someone a few seconds after their hand is severed by a door. The other "almost terrible enough" moment(s) is the idiotic crew they have waiting in a van outside the building while our would-be ghost hunters are being killed off one by one. The comparisons to the Scooby Doo cast can not be overlooked. The two women in the van lose contact with the rest of the gang in the building and keep dismissing the obvious tragedy unfolding with excuses of technical problems, or bad connections. If the filmmakers had shown the two women eating pistachio nuts with a disinterested uncaring attitude, or sitting in a van filled with pot smoke, or even in the sensual embrace of lovemaking, it would have been a home run! Otherwise: Terrible acting, overacting, but let's be fair not even Daniel Day-Lewis could have saved this movie with a script apparently written by someone with serious attention deficit to story line.
Overused! Cheap! Classic horror moves! No surprises!It sure was a bad building, in a bad story, provided by a bad script, directed bad and acted the same. Some actors did better than others, probably those who believed they will make it big eventually and this is their rock bottom start. The extremely small budget made a huge impact sadly, I've seen better camera work and CGI in the 80s movies, the dialogue was as cheesy as possible and the ending surely did not help.It was just another horror for me, nothing more. I love this genre, I watch underground such productions in order to put a honest, of course, personal review on IMDb and help out, either warn about the movie, or recommend it. This one is definitely a pass!Bad Building trapped inside a bad movie. So don't make a bad night out of it!Cheers!
I liked the plot of the movie , its not found footage movie, which I thought it was going to be.I liked the back story of the building, the intro took about a about five mins , which felt long, As the movie is only 75 mi long.The movie starts, with the boss was giving group of thr TV show one last chance.So they go to haunted building, that messing around with them and killing them of one by one. There were one or two things, I liked about this movie but those are over shadowed by the bad stuff I like the really bad acting from most of group, mainly the main lead role, he was the worst actor of the bunch And the cgi effects in this movie, were the worst I have ever seen, it was bad, it looked like a really bad cartoon.I did like the deaths scenes in this, some were a tad gory It far from being one of being one ot worst movie, I have seen but it's had its moments here and there 4 out of 10
So, there's been a nice little trend going on in the horror genre the last few years - and by 'nice,' I mean crap. The trend: a group of ghost hunter's enter (insert building of your choice here) to increase their ratings and save their TV show.Not only do we have to watch really bad reality TV, but now we have to watch really bad horror movies about really bad reality TV. I mean, what genius thought of this one? 'Bad Building' has it all - bad acting, bad lighting, bad audio, bad special effects, just all around bad. Random Ramblings of a Madman: 'Bad Building' is one of those horror films so bad, that it doesn't even qualify for 'worst movie I've ever seen,' because it can't even pull off the humor necessary for such an awesome accomplishment.
