Asilo de Medo

When a team of paranormal investigators is hired to inspect a soon-to-be demolished mental institution, they discover horrifying clues that reveal the cause of a violent massacre by an insane doctor in the 1960's.

This movie is abysmal and clearly the good swath of reviews come from clowns who worked on the movie.

It's amateurish at best. The acting sucks and nothing extraordinary really happens.

It's really poorly directed and you wind up being bored.

Not worth 20 seconds of your time

My first 2018 released movie, so how did it do?

So get this a bunch of 20 something ghost hunters go into an abandoned asylum and get picked off one by one by the ghosts within! And one of them is one of the doctors who went crazy and killed a bunch of people, original stuff right?

I've just described literally dozens of films, most famously House On Haunted Hill (1959 & 1999). Trouble is most of them did it considerably better than this. It is truly a carbon copy, I can't believe movies with this exact same plot continue to get released.

Asylum Of Fear is not a great start to 2018, 2017 wasn't great so let's hope things improve.

Looks the part, but that's about it.

The Good:

SFX are above par

The Bad:

Its been done before countless times

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

2018 has started on a big ol' low

Enough with the Asylums already unless you're gonna do something new

Really not much to say here. It is what it is, I mean there are a 100 asylum movies and another 1000 movies about paranormal investigation teams, this movie has both. I do think it's in the better half of these movies (for whatever that's worth). Mainly above average because it was pretty well made, good effects and not horrible acting. Personally, I actually liked the team and individuals (as cliche as they are). So yes, it's a team of paranormal investigators going in to document a haunting, but I don't think it's a waste of time. Oh yeah, there's also a missing children angle thrown in, which is a little different. Btw that's where the worst acting occurs. The female cop must be the producers sister or something because she is awful.

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

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.
