Initially conceived as a sequel to David DeCoteau's amusing Prison of the Dead (2000), this straight-to-video horror film was written by minor cult actor Trent Haaga. The story line posits a new reality-based television series along the lines of Fear Factor in which five attractive models must spend the night in a haunted asylum for a million-dollar prize. There's a greedy producer who sets booby-traps for the girls along the way, not knowing that there is a real presence in the hospital -- the ghost of an evil millionaire who had kidnapped several young women years before, hoping to force them to marry him. The contestants make confessions to the cameras strategically placed within, only to have their deepest fears used against them by the malevolent ghost. Joe Estevez shows up as well, adding a small bit of name value to a cast including Debra Mayer, Tanya Dempsey, and Stacey Scowley. This was one of several collaborations between B-movie moguls J.R. Bookwalter and Charles Band, concluding with Dead & Rotting the same year. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

A young bible college student learns that his future (or lack thereof) may literally lie in the hands of a malicious clergyman in this shocker from Witchouse director David DeCoteau. Though Christopher Sawyer's (Riley Smith) arrival at Carmichael Bible College goes smoothly as expected, it isn't until he meets the mysterious Reverend Carmichael (Chad Burris) that something appears to be amiss. Between the reverend's strange behavior and the downright un-Christian seductiveness of his financier, Mrs. Bouvier (Debra Mayer), Christopher slowly begins to realize that something is amiss at Carmichael Bible College. When it's revealed that the students are slowly being transformed into human voodoo dolls, the stage is set for a supernatural struggle that's likely to blacken the souls of both the faculty and the student body. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Her mission, capturing boarders and imprisoning their souls within a book of paper dolls, seems impossible to stop. Stitches is directed by Neal Stevens, who co-wrote the screenplay for 2001's Thirteen Ghosts, and features Elizabeth Ince, Debra Mayer, and Lindy Bryant. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi
