A serial killer known by the moniker "the Thrasher" (Larry Drake) is apprehended unintentionally by the police. They confine him temporarily to a wing of a nearby asylum that is on the brink of closing and devoid of other inmates. A psychiatrist (Paulina Porizkova) arrives to examine the Thrasher -- who promptly escapes -- and gets herself locked in the abandoned asylum while the killer roams free. As the Thrasher chases her through the dark corridors, she struggles to survive until dawn.

william G @RT46944406 2 days ago I really didn’t think much of it, very predictable,,set on an unbelievable set of highly improbable events: such a minter and the initially incredibly naive doctor, saved by her own self at the very last minute See more Jul 28, 2012 Surprisingly intelligent, a cable favourite. Lots of deaths and gore, the killer looked scary (He's bald) The first scene in the sewer was scary, not a bad B-movie to say the least. See more Nov 12, 2011 The best & only good thing about this movie was Larry Drake as The Trasher See more Jul 2, 2011 An OK horror flick with descent scares. See more Jun 14, 2011 The killer is really creepy. See more May 28, 2011 Worst piece of shit I have ever seen in my life. Sucks more then Blair Witch 2 and Nine Lives...COMBINED. Terrible acting, illogical plot line that has empty holes everywhere within itself, not a single scary scene, etc etc. This movie gives absolutely no scares what-so-ever. I could have spend an hour and 40mins of my life doing some productive, but instead I got stuck with this garbage. /rage See more Read all reviews
