4.0 out of 5 stars Great "creep" factor, December 10, 2010

By 

Film Fashionista - See all my reviews

This review is from: Asylum of the Damned (DVD)

Based on the setting alone the movie already gets more than 1 star. How could a horror movie go wrong with an Insane Asylum filled with Criminally Insane patients? Add a creepy soul-sucking demon and you have a hit! Sure the acting may leave a little to be desired but it's a horror movie! Overall, this is a good movie for people who enjoy horror flicks and can relax and enjoy it for what it is.

3.0 out of 5 stars SETTING CANNOT SAVE IT FROM BAD ACTING, February 28, 2005

This review is from: Asylum of the Damned (DVD)

When it comes right down to it, there's nothing much more creepy than an old mental hospital and Asylum of the Damned does a wonderful job of providing a set with a real sense of horror and forboding, but once you get past that you have a film with a rather weak plot and weaker performances and a stupid looking monster to boot.

Matt Stasi is James Bishop, a resident psychologist who begins a new job at the St. Andrews mental hospital. He soon learns that residents are being killed and learns of some evil creature called "The harvester" who steals their souls for the devil. James tries to uncover the evil but then has to deal with his idiotic girlfriend showing up to make matters that much worse.

The creatures is stupid looking and looks like one of those old Paul Blaisdell creature designs from the 1950's. Cheap and not scary in the least. The fact that the film co-stars Tracy Scoggins and Tiny Lister should tell you everything you need to know about the acting performances...especially when Tiny Lister is the best actor...

A movie that looks good and had good atmosphere but done in by bad acting and weak plot.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Damned Shame, June 26, 2005

By 

Ghoulie Guru - See all my reviews

This review is from: Asylum of the Damned (DVD)

This movie seemed like it was going to be better than it ended up being. The cinematography is good, the acting seemed solid, the dialogue wasn't too stiff... but then about twenty minutes in there's this long scene with a Doctor who you know is actually a patient at the asylum pretending to be a Doctor - and it just goes south from there.

On top of that, the demon is about the silliest looking hellspawn since the Godzilla-looking thing in Curse of the Demon. There's also some odd demon worshippers who wear masks that look like the exploding teens from the beginning of Logan's Run.

In the end, the cinematography couldn't save this movie. Despite some pretty solid performances by the actors, the story just doesn't go anywhere. I think "Hellbored" would have been a better title for this.
