Prison (1987)

An American horror directed by Renny Harlin, starring Lane Smith and Viggo Mortensen.
A state government is out of money for upgrading prisons and re-opens a haunted facility. The warden put a man to death there many years ago and the prisoners and guards end up stuck in the haunted prison, trying to get out.
This was mediocre and stereotypical. The premise was fine and there were some violent and gorey scenes. Otherwise, it was just a "run of the mill" horror flick. The characters were not developed very well and the plot was very simple. I didn't notice anything great going on with cameras or editing. I rate it o.k. because of mediocrity.

Cool Hand Luke (1967)


A prison film directed by Stuart Rosenberg.
Luke is good at getting hit and eating eggs, but bad at staying out of prison.
The audio was good and the video was 60s style grainy, but good. The inclusion of "midnight special" in the soundtrack was awesome.
check out: the supplies for spending time in "the box". no toilet paper! no wonder when they let him out his shirt is so dirty.
I liked the chase scenes of Luke escaping and fooling his captors. The trick that the black boys help him set up is especially entertaining. I also liked the segment in which the new guys are read the rules and any failure to obey ends in box time. This film really held my attention, so I'm saying it's good.
