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.

One of your typical anthology movies that tries to tie stories together and be clever, but instead turning out a confusing mess of garbage. Even if it replaced the boring host in between segments with The Crypt Keeper himself, it couldn't save this sinking ship.

It started off ok, but just nose dives before it's halfway through. A couple of the stories are ok, some have some decent visual FX and gore moments, but overall it falls flat on being anything memorable other than it tried to hard to have hidden messeges that try to be clever, but are just eye rolling bad.

Had it been edited better, and had 45 mins cut out of it, it would've made a decent Tales from the Crypt episode. Unfortunately what this actually is, is a decent 20 minute idea stetched out painfully with an extra hour of filler to get it to be released as a full length feature rather than the short TV episode it should've been.

As with all anthologies, there are good stories and there are bad ones. I felt this was a bit more unique than a lot of the more recent horror anthologies I've seen. The stories were mostly funny, quirky, and weird. It does have some really boring bits though but I'd still recommending watching it.

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.

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.
