The premise for this movie is a decent one - four crazies escape from their institution, and decide to pay their doctor a visit at his own home.
The problem here is the utter lack of atmosphere.
It's all so dry and sterile that even the calibre of the actors involved can't save it. Too slow to go anywhere, and any suspense scenes are handled very badly.
Disappointing.
