Eloise

Four friends break into an abandoned asylum, known as Eloise, seeking a legendary death cult's hidden treasure. Jacob, haunted by his father's past disappearance at the asylum, leads the group into its dark depths. As they delve deeper, they uncover horrifying secrets and become targets of the malevolent forces within.

Eloise received largely negative reviews from critics, with many criticizing its predictable plot, reliance on jump scares, and underdeveloped characters. Audience reception was also lukewarm, with some appreciating the atmosphere but finding the overall execution lacking.

• Relies too heavily on familiar horror tropes and jump scares.

• Fails to deliver a compelling narrative or memorable characters.

• The atmospheric setting of the abandoned asylum is its strongest, yet ultimately underutilized, asset.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be a derivative horror experience, with many citing a lack of originality and an unsatisfying conclusion. While some enjoyed the creepy ambiance, it wasn't enough to overcome the predictable plot and weak execution.

The film was shot on location at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum in Weston, West Virginia, an actual abandoned asylum with a reputation for being haunted.
