Prison

dir. Renny Harlin · 1987

A group of prisoners unwittingly breaks down a wall, releasing the vengeful spirit of Charles Forsyth, a man wrongfully executed. As the malevolent force wreaks havoc, the film immerses viewers in a claustrophobic atmosphere where the past's injustices echo through the present. Watching it is a harrowing experience, filled with tension and dread, as the line between the living and the dead blurs in a prison haunted by its own dark history.

After Charles Forsyth was sent to the electric chair for a crime he didn't commit, he forever haunts the prison where he was executed. Flash forward several years when the prison is reopened, under the control of its new warden Eaton Sharpe, a former security guard who framed Charlie. When prisoners are ordered to break down the wall to the execution room, they unknowingly release the angry spirit of Charles Forsyth, a powerful being distributing his murderous rage to all, leading up to the Warden himself.
