AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Bryan_Clark Dark Asylum has got to be one of the best thrillers I've seen… EVER. It's all too real making it believable, making it all the scarier. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see a nail-biting thriller. This film concerns a female psychiatrist (played by Paulina Porizkova) who becomes locked in an abandoned asylum with a killer (played by Larry Drake) running loose. Her only help is the janitor (played by Judd Nelson) who is in fact a forgotten asylum inmate. The two run through all the corridors in the asylum, including the ceiling, to avoid this madman who desperately intends to find them and a way out. Tense suspense and well worth 96 minutes of your time. If you still feel iffy, at least rent it. Because after you watch it for the first time it will leave you in engrossing suspense and you'll soon want to add it to your collection.

eternity79 Well, I can truly say that this is the worst movie I ever seen in my entire life!! I never saw a movie with such terrible acting!!!!! I have no idea how this film made it on DVD or Video! The only nice part about the film was Judd Nelson. He was the ONLY person who acted average. I got pretty tired of the Trasher's low vocabulary! ("Give me the key", "Where is the key") So, don't go see this movie!!! You'll be very disappointed!!!

Trilobiten This movie sucks in every aspect there is. The story is awful. It completely lacks any logic and the acting is a prime example of the essence of B-actors. A rerun of any other horror movie would be a better choice. In summary, a complete waste of time!

Wizard-8 Well... maybe not exactly, but you can see the DIE HARD influence in this horror flick. It's actually not that bad; low budget, but the production values are really strong. It keeps moving at a good clip as well, and it's never boring. Though I thought it was worth the rental, I did have two problems with it that prevented it from being even better than it was:(1) Some really big plot holes. (SPOILERS) When the killer gets out of the asylum, why doesn't he just hightail it out of the area, since that was his original intent all along? What's the cause of that big explosion in the basement? Why were the cops late in arriving in big force? Why in the beginning of the movie is the killer immediately thrown in an asylum before getting a sanity hearing? (Couldn't the cops hold him in a cell before then?) These are just some of many questions that come up.(2) I don't know if the director was showing "good taste", or if the movie was trimmed before its release, but it seems that many moments when we should be seeing gore happen off-screen or right out of camera range. Why tease the audience this way?
