This was not good. It has all the creepy atmosphere one would expect from a period piece, yet it is set in modern day, which, at least for me, was a huge mistake. _Asylum_ is an anthology movie, centered around patients in an asylum for the criminally insane. What the movie does well is eat its cake, and have it to in regards to having supernatural stories based in reality. How? Well, the people are insane... or are they? Are they retelling actual paranormal events or are they delusional? Ultimately, I just found the stories boring. This was like a bad version of The Twilight Zone. Worse yet, some moments were just silly - case in point: I know this movie predates _Puppet Master_ by a decade, but it really made the concept look ridiculous. The acting is mostly good. I wouldn't call this a waste of time, but once was enough for me. May have actually been ahead of its time.

This kitsch, 70s anthology B-movie didn't scare me in the slightest.

One of the better anthology films from England's other house of horror, Amicus. The framing story that leads into the final story with Herbert Lom and a really creepy (if a bit slow) robot doll is crazy and the basic idea I think holds up for a series. The other stories are a mixed bag. The first on More

Creaky, funny and rather unsettling.

The house of Amicus productions brings to us a horror anthology directed by Roy Ward Baker and written by "Psycho" scribe Robert Bloch. The four stories center around Robert Powell's job seeking Dr. Martin. Whom upon arriving at the classy, yet foreboding look More

Robert Powell (never the strongest character actor) is a young psychiatrist tricked into interviewing four patients in an asylum in order to get a job. Each have a fairly fantastic tale to recount that might explain their current predicament - or, maybe - just maybe, their recollections are true!? M More

The wraparound story of a doctor asked to interview patients in an asylum is really clever and ties all of the individual stories together nicely. Speaking of the stories I really enjoyed the opening sequence "Frozen Fear" about a man who thinks he can get rid of his wife. As silly as it all looks t More
