In this minimal lowest-of-budget thrillers, five unlikely and unappealing friends break into an abandoned (but in surprisingly good-looking condition) nightclub, drink, do drugs and one-by-one get to face angry spirits for their individual sins. Consistently undermined by weak performances and poor dialogue, there are however occasional positive efforts to realise genre conventions and the synth-led score provides fair backing. The unattractive flashbacks hardly portray the club as a hotbed of hedonism that it seems to wish for, not a lot happens in the first half and the second half is waywardly nonsensical. That any film is completed and exhibited is always to be commended, but Deathclub is not very watchable or enjoyable.
