Death Row

About This Movie

Death Row is one of those films that really leans into its grim setting. Isla de la Roca Penitentiary feels almost like a character in itself—this haunted space, steeped in backstory and dread. The pacing's interesting, a slow build that keeps you on edge, waiting for the horror to really kick in. It's a mix of crime and supernatural horror that doesn’t shy away from its gruesomeness. The practical effects have that gritty, raw feel that often gets lost in CGI-heavy flicks, and the way it explores themes of guilt and damnation adds depth. The performances, while not top tier, do carry a certain weight that resonates within the bleak atmosphere. Overall, it's an engaging watch, especially for those who appreciate the darker corners of genre cinema.
