Asylum, the Lost Footage

Who do I talk to about getting the last 65 minutes of my life back? This movie has a great concept as I love anything to do with abandoned places and hauntings, especially in sanitariums, and I love a good found footage flick, but this was certainly anything but good. Very poorly filmed, badly edited, terrible acting, and it's so choppy that it's painful to watch, not to mention all the edited in sound effects that just seem to come at the most random times. They try so hard to make it appear as legitimate found footage, but then there are all these dramatic shots from places where no one has a camera. As far as "found footage" films go, this is by far the worst I've ever seen... Make sure you stay till the end though, you wouldn't want to miss the corniest and most poorly done CGI ghost face ever made.

I was directed to the movie via social media and my independent film network and thoroughly enjoyed it. As an independent film enthusiast, I can appreciate the whole project. You could tell some of the acting was improvised which added to the appeal for me. The Insane Asylum looks like a great place to shoot and I would have loved to have to seen it back in the day. Perhaps that is my one main criticism- the film would have really benefited from some footage of how the place used to look although I understand why this is an issue. Overall, I would recommend it, especially if you're an independent film fan! If not, try it out anyway!

This is found film number 66 for me. So, I have, obviously, seen some VERY, VERY bad movies. Of the 66 I have seen so far, this is, without a doubt, the worst.

The only way I could possible give it an accurate rating on IMDB's system would be to go through the 1000 + movies I have seen and rate them all one star higher so that the inability to give negative stars would be compensated for.

This is a mess. There is nothing coherent about it. There is no character development at all. There is no story. Nothing happens. It breaks every rule of the genre, but it does so to no positive effect at all. I have never seen anything quite like it. Its beyond awful. And no, it is not "bad in a good way."

Abandon hope all ye who enter.

The Plot:

A group of amateur ghost hunters go missing as they journey into the bowels of an abandon Insane Asylum in a search for evidence of the 'Lady in White' said to haunt the grounds.

The only evidence of their quest of no return are video cards discovered by workman as they demolish what's left of the vacant structures.

Some of the footage was salvageable and reveals the missing ghost hunters fate as they traverse into the unknowns of the Asylum.

Stoopid movie filled with talking heads in from of jet black backgrounds and poor "found" footage which the amateur filmmakers blaming it on the environment.

This movie is god awful.

Please note -- the only good review it got (from Sam) is also "sam's" ONLY review. In other words the guy worked on this movie.

Forget it.

This movie makes sense if you have ever been scared to death while on an investigation. It's actually pretty good but the editing could have been better as it's a bit confusing in places. I am never a fan of the big Hollywood horror films and prefer these kind of movies as they are more realistic, apart from in real life you don't vanish.....at least I don't think you do! But its a good fear factor for thoes who investigate Asylums.
