Hell Asylum

This movie is all over the place. What the heck are those grim reaper dudes anyway. Apart from eating peoples insides and whacking up people's faces and dropping bones all over the place. It's junk and the title music sucks. A typical low budget crappy movie. Apart from the usual small time actors and a hardly known producer company what has this movie got going for it.

Some of the acting is OK i'll give it that but the the movie has no plot.

Nothing

Hell Asylum has a similar storyline to HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL, but don't expect it to be as entertaining. A group of young girls enter a haunted house in participation in a reality television show, if they last the night, they will recieve a million dollars. That's the whole story. Hell Asylum even plays like a reality television show by filming from the diffrent cameras located in the house, which are all black and white and often very snowy, add to that, the house is always in darkness so we get some confusing hard to watch footage of the girls getting killed. The death scenes were very bloody but it was hard to tell what was happening because of the darkness and snowy picture. On the plus side the characters were very interesting, each girl had a very diffrent personality to the next and i would have been more interested in seeing how they got along some more, but the girls began getting killed one by one before they even had a chance to settle in. My rating 4/10.

Possibly the worst movie ever made. That is, if it was actually a movie, which it isn't. It seems more like some grad student's sad attempt to complete film school, by proving he could make a film on a $100 budget. The acting is atrocious, the writing nonsensical, and the FX laughable. The "house" which is supposed to be haunted is obviously a school, and only recently abandoned at that. The only thing truly scary about this movie was that I paid $3 to see it. A truly abysmal attempt, without even the usual gratuitous sex to liven it up. Avoid it at all costs.

Hey, I've got an idea. Let's put five luscious babes in a haunted house and pay the one who lasts $1 million. Oh, we won't waste any time having then undress or anything like that, and we'll include a sex scene that is off camera. It'll be a reality show hit - I guarantee it.

So, we bring in the girls and lock one in the closet, and pour bugs on another, and then the ghosts who inhabit the house will rip them up and we have blood and bones all over the place. They still don't show us anything, and all they basically do is whine and scream.

If you are going to rip off another movie, at least show us something original. Not even scary.

It's amazing to me that this was allowed on DVD at all. It's just that bad. The plot, that there is a reality TV game-show thing with models who have to go into haunted rooms and such does admittedly have potential. Unfortunately, that potential was not carried out. To be honest, my favorite part was the credits, and that's simply because they at least looked halfway professional, unlike the rest of the movie. The actors prove that you can't just pull someone off the street and expect them to be good, although the actors aren't entirely to blame, as there is no one who could pull off the hackneyed clichés of the characters.

The music was just annoying, the gore looked more like spaghetti and that stuff in tapes (the black stuff) than someone's insides, and frankly, I find it hard to believe that this was made by someone who wasn't above the age of 18. The only good feature this 'film' (and I use the term very very loosely) has is that it did indeed leave me feeling sick, but for all the wrong reasons.
