Doom Asylum was possibly the wierdest and simultaneously funniest eighties bi-product I have ever seen and since the first time I saw it I knew that someday I would have to own it. This film was in a class all its own, not quite horror and not quite comedy Doom Asylum fit perfectly the description of what in the opinion of my friends and myself alike would call the perfect film. We are a rare breed forever in search of just the right film to tear apart. Like MST 3000 only very different and we are not on T.V. In conclusion, don't expect to see Doom Asylum in the runnings for the prestigous movie of the century award, but if you enjoy kicking back and enjoying a bad movie now and then I think that you will be plesantly surprised by this truly original film.

Here we have a fairly pedestrian entry into the horror genre, but one not without its charm. We have a gang of teenagers sight seeing in an abandoned asylum, populated by a deranged killer.

By and large, it's a typical 80's horror film. It's largely comedic. The gore factor isn't remarkable by any means, but not bad. The best part of the movie is the all female angry political cheese-goth band. They're a hoot. Beyond that it's all here. The cheesy 80's goth band, the ridiculous plot twist, and a thoroughly respectable pointless excuse for the topless girl shot. Worth viewing if you're a horror fanatic and you have an hour and a half you were going to waste anyway.

Perhaps the stupidest movie I have ever had the displeasure of viewing!! If you do not want to punch Mr. Indecisive Blondie in the first 5 minutes you need therapy!! The whole thing is so horribly exaggerated 80's crap, that if you want the cheesiest horror ever, please get it!!

DOOM ASYLUM is one of those 80s films that seem like they're being made up as they go along. It's as if those responsible were out driving one day, saw the crumbling ASYLUM of the title, and said, "I know, let's make a movie!" We get the spooky, decrepit location, filled w/ goofy characters, stalked by a disfigured killer. The "script" is as bare-bones as it could possibly get. Still, it does have enough wacky, mindless charm to make it (just) endurable. Plus, the "drill-to-the-forehead" and "saw-to-the-face" sequences should keep the gorehundts happy. Kristin Davis (BLACKTOP) and Patty Mullen (FRANKENHOOKER) definitely add to the viewing experience! Worth a watch...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie it's so horribly amazing I was so happy to find a DVD of it I had an old VHS reviewers copy I got from my father when I was in highschool and have wanted it since. Doom Asylum is truly campy deliciousness in all its glory.

Classic movie to see a young Kristen Davis in a bathing suit sunning outside of a mental asylum....

Hard to find title is as cheesy as a pizza in Wisconsin. Awful dialog, lame plot situations and characters who do dumb things. So its a perfect 80s slasher movie. Looks great on DVD and the trailers that come with it are hard to resist.

Decent, if awkward low-budget entry in the slasher genre. Poor dialog, lackluster pacing, not much panache, but the condemned insane asylum that's provided as backdrop for the young stars and starlets to run amuck through before getting hack'd n' slashed is inspired. But seriously, the main reason to check out this horror relic (from the direct-to-VHS days) is Patty "Frankenhooker" Mullen and her nerdy friend (Charlotte from Sex & The City). If you're a fan of bad 80's horror, add another star.
