Audience Member Jason Schombing was great! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member It really isn't as bad as everyone says. Sure, it was not a top-notch film, but as long as you didn't pay money to see it in the theater, you can't be too outraged at the quality. If you really have your heart set on watching films about psychopaths, mind-altering drugs, mysteries, or asylums, go for it. Otherwise, you might skip over this one. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member this movie is sooo frekishly awesome and quite scary one of the only movies to ever scare me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Writing and acting are superb in this film. No. No they sure as hell are not. But I stuck with this one because it stars Malcolm McDowell and the T-1000. Also a few more B-list actors pop up. But anyway, they all suck. The director just... what the fuck. Asylum feels like a made for TV movie that didn't quite make it to TV. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the ten worst movies I have ever seen. Malcolm McDowell is doing a bad Hannibal Lecter imitation throughout the film, and Robert Patrick plays a master of disguise who's best disguise is a fake mustache. A horrible movie that you should avoid at all costs. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Don't recall much but disappointment from this one, seeming it has both Robert Patrick and Malcolm McDowell, two actors who I usually enjoy seeing in any role. I remember this was fairly tedious going, without much payoff. Certainly didn't live up to McDowell's other crazy doctor film, Disturbed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
