Cast[]

Production[]

On April 25, 2014, Chace Crawford, Eliza Dushku, Brandon T. Jackson and P. J. Byrne joined the cast.[1] Principal photography began on May 5, 2014.[2]

It was shot in and around Metropolitan Detroit, and was financed in part by a $ 2 million Michigan film incentive subsidy from the State of Michigan.[3] Much of it was filmed at Eloise.[A]

Release[]

The film was released on February 3, 2017, by Vertical Entertainment.[5]

Critical reception[]

Critic John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that it is "An incoherent, time-hopping paranormal tale." It offered condolences to the actual staff of Eloise.[6]

The New York Times declared it, "A horror movie of such ineptitude that it invites sympathy for even its least gifted participants."[7]

Variety was dismissive: "A notorious former insane asylum turns out — surprise! — to be a bad place to visit in this generic horror opus. Reasonably slick but empty, 'Eloise' is no Session 9 as far as haunted-former-mental-hospital horrors go. Heck, it's not even a Grave Encounters 2."[4]

The Village Voice said it all in the title of its article.[8]

IMDb gave it a 4.6 out of 10 rating.[9] Rotten tomatoes gave it an 11% Tomatometer, and a 17% Audience rating.[10] A compilation of many professional reviews returned a dismal picture.[11]

Notes[]

  1. ^ "The Eloise of the title isn’t a children’s-book heroine, but the name of an actual eastern Michigan mental institution that existed for 150 years, and was for a time the country’s largest — comprising 78 buildings on more than 900 acres. That much is true, although an opening text crawl goes on to spin some fictive hooey about rumored "inhumane testing and treatment" overseen by psychiatric chief Dr. H.H. Greiss (Robert Patrick), as well as a "devastating fire" that shuttered the facility in 1982."[4]
