The inmate Charlie Forsyth is executed in the electric chair in the Creedmore Prison, and the guard Ethan Sharpe (Lane Smith) keeps his crucifix. Thirty years later, Sharpe is promoted to warden and decides to reopen the Creedmore Prison against the will of the board responsible for the prisoners. Katherine Walker (Chelsea Field) is assigned to report the behavior of Sharpe to the board. Soon the prisoners arrive in buses and among the inmates, the car thief Burke (Viggo Mortensen) that soon shows his leadership. He is assigned with the prisoner Sandor (André DeShields) to open an access to the execution room that is sealed using pickaxes. When they open a breach, they unleash the evil spirit of Forsyth that was trapped in the space and now is seeking revenge on Sharpe, who becomes psychotic since he has a dark secret. However, the inmates and guards are also affected by the vengeful spirit that starts a crime spree in the prison.
"Prison" is creepy prison movie from 1987, with a good storyline and screenplay. The performance of Lane Smith is impressive and Viggo Mortensen performs a cool character. Chelsea Field is beautiful and elegant. The supernatural story is still entertaining after thirty-five years of the film release. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Duro de Prender" ("Hard to Arrest")
