Asylum of Fear (2018) Reviews

• Good Reviews are From Crew

  arfdawg-12018-01-09

  When a team of paranormal investigators is hired to inspect a soon-to-be demolished mental institution, they discover horrifying clues that reveal the cause of a violent massacre by an insane doctor in the 1960's. This movie is abysmal and clearly the good swath of reviews come from clowns who worked on the movie. It's amateurish at best. The acting sucks and nothing extraordinary really happens. It's really poorly directed and you wind up being bored. Not worth 20 seconds of your time

• Warning about Asylum of Fear

  claudio_carvalho2018-01-31

  "Asylum of Fear" is a movie that makes the viewer think: "Why did I not read a book? Or took a nap? Or went to the gym? Or watch a classic film? Or did nothing?" It is so frustrating watching a mediocre amateurish flick and then think that the viewer has spent 1 h 19 min. of his or her life in front of a television set expecting to see something worthwhile but indeed watching nothing but a forgettable garbage. My vote is one (awful). Title (Brazil): Not Available

• Fun Paranormal Thriller

  ele-813192018-01-10

  I'm not usually one to review a title but I'm disagreeing with what I am seeing here . Also it drives me nuts coming onto pages, mostly low budget independent films from what I can tell, seeing people say the only good reviews are from the cast or crew. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean other people didn't enjoy it. If you are a fan of paranormal television shows, which I have a guilty pleasure of, this will be a good movie for you. I would say this film is more thriller than horror. It is not in your face scares and up until you get to the end there is not a lot of violence. Although it does hit later. What they do well though is build up the intensity surrounding this asylum. While the story may not be the most original out there I think the way it was told was great. It was obvious the cast was having a lot of fun and their chemistry together on the screen was fantastic! My friend and I rented this and were very pleasantly surprised. If you want to sit down and see a fun mystery/thriller with a paranormal setting, I would recommend this one.

• Just my thoughts about his movie

  ntg_cody2018-01-09

  Like a fellow reviewer said, I also think the ratings for this movie comes from friends and crew. Ok, not to be a real negative reviewer since its my first, I appreciate the fact that they tried to do something, but the outcome is pretty bad, the acting part is like a bad joke (I thought at some point they are trying not to laugh themselves out) and the idea is very old also very boring to go through. A group of untrained actors trying to make a movie about a haunted Asylum. Plain boring from the start since there are a lot of movies based on this same idea, nothing new only sound effects that are trying their best to give you a little scare, which they fail to do also. The movie doesnt worth the time. Sorry guys, my rating is 1, but I guess this 1 star is for trying to do something without any involvement from bigger movie companies. Maybe the next one will be better with a good original idea. If you lack the script writers ideas, I would gladly do it for you, I dreamed a much more scary thing past week that could be good for your next movie. Cheers

• Asylum of Fear: Carbon copy

  Platypuschow2018-01-12

  My first 2018 released movie, so how did it do? So get this a bunch of 20 something ghost hunters go into an abandoned asylum and get picked off one by one by the ghosts within! And one of them is one of the doctors who went crazy and killed a bunch of people, original stuff right? I've just described literally dozens of films, most famously House On Haunted Hill (1959 & 1999). Trouble is most of them did it considerably better than this. It is truly a carbon copy, I can't believe movies with this exact same plot continue to get released. Asylum Of Fear is not a great start to 2018, 2017 wasn't great so let's hope things improve. Looks the part, but that's about it. The Good: SFX are above par The Bad: Its been done before countless times Things I Learnt From This Movie: 2018 has started on a big ol' low Enough with the Asylums already unless you're gonna do something new
