"Once you're in, you can never get out" Has a weak plot, terrible acting, cheesy costume design and very predictable. Concentrates on the torture rather than the plot, with some scenes being fairly graphic it wasn't enough to stop this being overall a horrible movie.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Nothing especially new or effective but it built the spooky atmosphere fairly well.

About all you can say about this is that it's a movie. Everything about it is so trite. The script sounds like a cobbled together from another language. The action is silly and the writer didn't even consider any relations to the real world or how people actually speak. Makes no sense and the actors, who are really trying, can't do a thing with the script.

I wasn't expecting anything when I saw this movie, In my opinion this one eels mostly like Nightmare On Elm Street, but done incompetetive. This movie had cliche written all over it, All the ideas have been done to death, and the director offers nothing more to the table. One movie that has nothing to entertain. So for that being said, I give " Asylum " a C.

I can't even write how incredibly mind numbingly bad this is. I'd give it no stars, if I could.

If you can manage to shut off the "logic" part of your brain, it's pretty bad. If you can't, it's even worse.

No amount of lowered expectations can disguise what a piece of junk [Asylum] is.
