Haunted Hospital: Heilstatten (2018)

Two vloggers known as Prankstaz challenge fellow vlogger Bettyful to spend a night in a supposedly haunted sanitarium.  Finn and Charly bring Theo, who leads tours in the hospital and can get them inside, and Emma for technical assistance. Betty follows in her car and reveals she’s prepared surprises for the boys.

While they’re setting up, Marnie shows up because she is worried. She used to date Theo and when he previously brought her there, she had a horrifying experience.  Finn and Charly figure if she’s already had contact with ghosts, she must be a medium and convince her to stay by saying they’ll promote her channel on their vlog.  Theo is not amused.

They break the door down to a building that is not part of the tour. So much for Theo’s instructions to respect the building.  While setting up cameras in the hallways, Charly wipes old paint off the wall and puts it under his nose to do a Hitler imitation. It feels really weird since this is a German film. Also that paint must be lead so Charly has just taken years off his life.

When Betty goes off on her own, she sees a bloody woman in a bathtub and freaks out. She thinks Finn and Charly are pulling pranks already, but they know nothing about it.  As weird things start to happen and it seems there is something evil there, the group decides to leave. But someone in the building has other plans.


Ridiculous dialogue that shows a lack of understanding of the basic concept of claustrophobia:

You’re not fat enough to be claustrophobic.  


They park close to the building but when trying to leave,
they seem to be parked much further away
Prankstaz and Betty
Teenage girls love her
They promise to respect the buildings but kick in the doors
Boom mic alert!
The abandoned location is interesting
