Asylum: Twisted Horror and Fantasy Tales

Like with many short movie anthologies this has good and not so good entries. I reckon some might argue some weak entries actually. But overall I did like what I got served here. Some are a bit stranger than others too and I was a bit irritated by how certain segments were cut in. You don't seem to get a resolution ... or not one you may hope for with some shorts here.

Having said that, this is horror and it will be a matter of taste. One thing is for sure, there is enough blood and gore and it begins with a bang. Whatever you may think of the first story, it is more than well made and it hits all the right points. Same goes for the animated one ... so all in all a more than decent effort.

A movie with short horror stories in it. There are some very mediocre stories and beautiful ones. There are occasional comedy transitions. "exorcism" and "undead man" from the stories were not bad. Most stories end without an ending. A watchable movie. There is a lot of swearing and sexual talk.

The anthology is the most perfect form of horror movie. Other than one incredibly creative but heavy handed US Mexican border piece it was great, bloody but great. Only one segment was something I've seen before and one of the Spanish language stories was unique and hilarious. The 4.7 is ridiculous and the reviews that accompanied these low marks are replete with words like replete and are written by frustrated people with tiny lives who crap on things to make their sad little lives have meaning. I do the same thing but I try to stay positive. I don't think people want a point by point description of a movie if they did they wouldn't need to watch the movie. Good or bad is what you need to know and this is good.

Without a doubt, the worst film I've seen for a long while. Boring, disconnected, pretentious.

Im not going to do a review for the short stories. Some were great some i have seen on youtube many times before. I do want to give my opinion on the actual star Brandon, the embodiment of what I think most clowns feel on the inside! The guy was gross, kinda dumb, perfect amount of self loathing and in my opinion all things combined made him unsettling and off putting, which I am going to assume was his goal. So for that reason I give Brandon, the worst kinda clown there is, an honest one, 8 out of 10 stars!! The movie really isn't as bad as the ridiculous humorless "critics" are saying. Its a perfect rainy day afternoon watch!! Give it a shot it is more horror comedy than straight up horror. I enjoyed it and in the end that's all that matters!!
