Is Prison the one with that pipe sequence? I loved that when I saw it when I was a kid-haven't seen it since but I've never forgotten that pipe scene.

You might also like Furnace (2007) but make sure you see the unrated version.

Hellblock 13 (shitty anthology with Gunnar Hanson)

Deadmen Walking (crappy zombie film)

Death House

Ditto.

I'm not saying the films already mentioned here are not so good films (as most of them I haven't seen yet) but it seems that there still haven't significant amount of mentionable/recommendable/good films came out with this particular set up. As now a days often we criticized modern horror films for lack of original ideas and settings, I think this kind of somewhat 'unused premise' can turn out to be a worthy or at least interesting experimental ground for today's young film makers.

Well, "Story of Ricky" is kind of an over the top, gore heavy action movie with some pretty weird elements to it.

If you're into gaming, check out "The suffering", few years back now but it was a very solid prison/horror title.

Good to see Michael Rooker as a Prison guard & Bruce Greenwood as the warden!

Cell 213 becomes home to Michael Gray a cocky young attorney, after a gruesome twist of circumstance lands him in the South River State Penitentiary, framed for the murder of an incarcerated client.
Unnatural forces are causing prisoners to ‘off’ themselves at abnormal rates and Michael soon discovers that matters of guilt and innocence are not as cut and dry as he would like to believe trapped in this nightmarish cell.

very true, alot of the movies are rubbish, but if the movies dont take itself seriously it makes the movie alot more fun.
