Asylum - A irmandade do mal

Whoever thought that turning bad movie into a good one by having two idiots talk continuously over what is happening on screen needs their head examined.

It's not funny, it's not horror, it's simply annoying.

Who else would make a film and then add on a couple of idiots talking about how bad it is? What is the point of that?

The original film was probably better than this version with a couple of idiots constantly criticising it .

This is one of the reasons I don't go to cinemas - to listen to other people talking while I'm trying to watch the film, no matter how bad it is.

I hope they made a huge financial loss on this garbage. And I hope the person who decided to add the two voices on top of the original film never works again.

I've used IMDb for years now, and have suffered through many a terrible movie during those years. This is the first comment I've made. This is certainly one of the top three worst movies I have ever seen in my life--probably number one.

Have you ever watched a flick with one of those friends that talks and makes stupid jokes throughout the whole thing? Did you enjoy that? No? Then you won't enjoy this movie. Imagine that friend, only a million times worse. It is... I can't even think of a word. I'm inclined to create a new word to describe just how terrible this flick is. My head hurt after watching it from all the brain cells that committed suicide.

Do not watch this. Don't even read any more reviews on it. If you took the time to read this one, you have already wasted too much time on Asylum. It's not even ironically bad. There is nothing that redeems this flick. The director should be exiled and barred from even thinking of producing something that a human being might see.

Strange film this.It starts with 2 editors trying to cut a horror movie from footage from a shoot in some fictional foreign country. What follows is that you see the entire horror movie with a Mystery Science Theater 3000 type comical voice over by the two editors. The film itself looks like a work-print with captions for missing effects etc. There's a couple of cuts to a side story with the editors but this probably only accounts for about 5 minutes of screen time. What ruins this film is the actual horror movie looks watchable whilst the editors are irritatingly unfunny. The production values in the horror movie seem quite decent whilst the editor sections are amateur hour. Its just a pity we couldn't see the horror movie and lose the editors voice over.

The plot

An eleven-person riot squad races to an insane asylum to quell a recent inmate outbreak and hostage situation.

They arrive, only to be caught off guard by a sudden barrage of insane patients.

When they've finally fought off a wave, two of their squad members are missing, their communications return only static, and the doors are locked.

They're trapped.

They break up into three teams to track down the lost members.

Strange sounds and religious iconography suggest something beyond insanity has taken over the inmates.

Sure enough, a simple rescue mission quickly morphs into relentless life or death battles with possessed.

When McGahey, a trained, rational hostage negotiator, discovers the ringleader of this possessed insanity is none other than his brother, it falls on him to stop nothing less than the opening of a portal to Hell.

This is one bizarre movie.

It's sort of like Mystery Science Fiction Theatre. Very hard to describe and follow.

It starts out with a priest and then cuts to these guys who appear to be editing or adding special effects to a movie.

The rest of the movie shifts back and forth between the asylum and voice over of these two editors making dumb funny comments about the movie which, BTW was supposed to be found footage, and the producer back in the US.

It's nearly impossible to watch. Nothing makes sense.

Stephen Rhea has really dropped into the abyss.

Words cannot describe how bad this movie is.

I actually signed up for IMDb for the first time, after reading hundreds of reviews, to complain about how terrible this film is, 100% a result of the completely boring voice over.

They should re-edit this film and remove them and I'd probably jump up 6 stars.

Maybe they were trying for this type of reaction, if so I want to commend them.

It's honestly worse than listening to people talk in a movie theater, please god don't rent it, see it, or even watch a preview.

At least I can yell at the people in the theater.
