Asylum: Twisted Horror and Fantasy Tales

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.

So this anthology starts off with the 3rd making of The Cleansing Hour. It was a short movie in 2016, a full movie in 2020 & now another short in this "new" horror anthology. It's tired, put it to bed.

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.

There are a couple of the stories that are quite interesting and amusing, but there are also some stupid ones. Also the way they are linked together becomes very annoying after the first one or two.

Overall, not great but not awful either. I wouldn't bother watching it again myself.
