If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

About the worst aspect of Death Row is its cast; not because of the acting but because with half the characters being criminals, ones shown to be without qualms about killing, there's not much reason to invest in these guys.Sure, Steven Monroe made similar characters somewhat sympathetic in Sasquatch Mountain, but Monroe's movies usually put more effort into the characters than most horror movie crews do today...Anyways, we see these people's deaths coming from miles away. Fortunately, the writers managed to think of interesting methods of offing people, and there is occasional humor thrown in, keeping the inevitable entertaining.Most importantly, it is fun horror. While watching people get offed one by one, without any atmosphere or investment in the characters, keeping it entertaining is important.

This has got to be one of the worst horror films I have ever seen, and I have seen the original Evil Dead. The acting is horrible and the inconsistencies are rampant, and from start to finish the movie does not pull you in, it pushes you away. It is just not entertaining at all, I mean for instance the scene were Jasmine (played by the beautiful Jamie Elle Mann) was killed when a wooden ceiling fan chops her body in half is not even believable to a fifth grader. Whatever you do unless you like watching a complete waste of time, watch something else, pretty much anything else. I hope the sci-fi channel does not run this ever again.

If I could, I'd rate this movie as 5.5 but since there's no halfway, I'll give it a benefit of the doubt and rate it 6.Death Row is NOT a brilliant movie. In fact, it's a "horror" B-movie with a super low budget in Canada. It doesn't revolutionize anything and some - okay, most - of the deaths are really unrealistic but that's the whole fun of it! Honestly, it's not possible at all to push a body THROUGH a wire fence in any situation. But gore's always fun to watch in a movie.The acting from most of the younger actors was horrendous. Seriously, it was really painful to watch Claire Coffee as Missy... Her performance was more wooden than the Amazon Forest but the entire script was pretty much laughable. Which was probably the point for most viewers.If you liked the Final Destination franchise, it's pretty likely that you'll like this movie. Laughable plot, really bad special effects (that last scene with the implosion... UGH) and painful acting but the makeup was brilliant and some of the deaths were really really good.

I see the IMDb rating is a 3, and I think it's about right. The best part of this movie are some decent gore scenes, but the rest is pretty poor. I do like the premise, an old haunted prison, but not much is done with it. Not scary or suspenseful, and the actors don't impress. I don't know what the previous reviewers who all gave it a good review saw in this but it wasn't a good horror movie, even for a B-movie. I will say the special effects on some of the gore were well done. Stacey Keach was the only star you would know, and he seemed to sleepwalk through his role. The rest of the cast are all unknowns. It's too bad because the story could have been a good one, if a big Hollywood budget was available I could see this storyline having some potential. As it is I wouldn't waste a rental on this like I did on Netflix.
