Asylum of Fear

This reminds me of those paranormal tv shows you see every night on travel channels. Once the film gets to the asylum it was a fun watch. Good paranormal scares and the ghost hunting crew were cast really well. This film is not perfect, it's a plot that has been done repeatedly and some of the supporting characters could have been replaced. I like ghost stories and those paranormal tv shows so this was a good one. If you enjoy those as well I would recommend this movie.

Some of these reviews are terrible and unjust. Seems more like people with an axe to grind. Full disclosure, I am friends with someone attached to this movie, but i will still give my honest opinion. There are a few issues that concern me, the story and premise are obviously not very original but that can really be said about most of the fare in this genre. The acting may not be great but it's not bad and certainly not as bad as some make it out to be. Some of the pace issues could've easily been addressed in editing. The special FX are very good, especially for an indie, the art department and production design team did quite well on this and there really aren't any glaring technical issues that you tend to find in a lot of indie projects. I'm glad I gave it a whirl.

Im almost sure the ratings that brought this film in the high 5's in the horror category were from crew members/actors and their family members. This movie is a solid 3, maybe 3.5 at best, giving it a 2 because of the false ratings. The storyline is mediocre, and the acting is 80% cringeworthy.

Kudos to new director's, actors etc in the learning process, but stop with the false ratings to gain views. It doesnt bring you any legitimacy or respect in the film world.

Like a fellow reviewer said, I also think the ratings for this movie comes from friends and crew.

Ok, not to be a real negative reviewer since its my first, I appreciate the fact that they tried to do something, but the outcome is pretty bad, the acting part is like a bad joke (I thought at some point they are trying not to laugh themselves out) and the idea is very old also very boring to go through.

A group of untrained actors trying to make a movie about a haunted Asylum. Plain boring from the start since there are a lot of movies based on this same idea, nothing new only sound effects that are trying their best to give you a little scare, which they fail to do also.

The movie doesnt worth the time.

Sorry guys, my rating is 1, but I guess this 1 star is for trying to do something without any involvement from bigger movie companies. Maybe the next one will be better with a good original idea. If you lack the script writers ideas, I would gladly do it for you, I dreamed a much more scary thing past week that could be good for your next movie.

Cheers

Probably some of the worst actors I've ever seen, not a single person was believable, & the script was trash. This is in my top 10 worst movies of all time.
