Insane

I'm easy on movies. I appreciate most attempts by other people to create things. However, "Insane" has to be the worst movie I've ever seen and having seen 100's in this year alone that's saying a lot. The movie starts off with the time worn cliché' girl in the bathtub being spied upon, but that's OK, that theme still has a little leg room in the hands of a capable writer. Even with five writers this movie never rises above a predictable and substandard dialogue and falls completely flat on true suspense. But that's not the worst of it. The low budget, the "how in the world could that happen?" scenes that seems to occur every 5 minutes and the unconvincing lead actor serial killer made me wonder if I should be watching lead paint dry instead. All I had to look forward to was the ending in the hopes that there I would find some release, some satisfaction, some moral to the story but my hopes were dashed when the credits rolled up.

Only the makers of this movie and their closest friends would enjoy this movie. Oh yeah...and serial killers.

How is it possible that this has a rating of 7.4? and the review on here giving it a 10 must be working for the makers of this awful rubbish. The story line is a direct copy/ripoff from psycho, the acting is poor, and the music score is f####,but then again the low budget attached to this film should have been a dead give away. My advice if you really want to see this crap, push the fast forward button, believe me you won't miss a thing, and for those teen agers thinking it might be half OK cause of the gore and boobies it might have, forget it! a bit of blood here and there, and sorry no boobies.

This is the runner up for worst crap of 2011, 1 out of 10!

My dad always gets these kinds of movies: The ones that some people never hear of. That means that I have seen my fair share of independent films and amateur films. I also love horror films and have seen plenty to compare this with. This movie has a a decent plot, but the way they made it completely sucks. You are not informed about the characters very thoroughly, and it starts out looking like the middle of a movie: You have no idea what's going on, who the people are, where they are located, or anything useful. It's like the directors assume you know. It wasn't the worst horror film I've seen but it was nowhere near good. The acting is okay at times but it's like they are aware they are on film and talk and act as though people are watching. There's no screaming or real emotions shown during fight scenes; just a wimper and a cry here and there. Overall, I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

I saw Insane on Youtube's Kings Of Horror channel, now when going into any movie from them you need to be aware that it's almost certainly going to be awful.

Insane however immediatly struck me as having considerably higher production values than most other films on the channel and it's opening sequence was really quite good.

It tells the story of a serial killer in a secluded off the beaten track hotel run by a mysterious and more than a little odd man. Yes it's a slasher, but as far as they go this does have some originality.

Now Insane should have been better but sadly it was marred by a few bits of dodgy writing, an unfleshed out side story and well..........the other thing I can't reveal as it would spoil things but lets just say it makes no sense.

Insane isn't your run of the mill slasher, it's above average in quality but well below average where it actually matters.

I'd say this is a harmless watch for fans of the sub-genre but it's flaws have left what could have been a good film a real let down.

The Good:

Quite well made all things considered

Really quite unpredictable

The Bad:

Needed fleshing out a bit more

Some of it makes no sense whatsoever

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

If you look deep within the bowels of Kings Of Horror there are passable movies, DEEP

Bad is always bad and this one is really bad! It's a run of the mill copy of the bad Psycho 2-4 movies, hey it even got a bad copy of Norman Bates!! The killer is a cross between the killer from The Prowler and Valentines Day with a bit of Darth Vader's breathing for good measure! Stupid characters that don't even scream for help or beg for there life or anything...just some quiet sobbing. And too ruin it all, if you've seen the trailer (?) you've seen every murder in the film...what did they think when they put that one out...i don't know. And as always when swedes make a horror flick with lots of blood and guts, the thing is in English! Nooo good people out there save your time and do something better for an hour and a half instead!! Maybe sort out your plastic-bags under your sink?
