Asylum of Terror (1998)

The Worst Film Ever

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

A terrible movie from start to finish. But it's so bad that I will watch it again and again for a few laughs. It seems like there was not so much a script than an outline and some cue cards. If you are a fan of the badly filmed and poorly acted, then this one is for you. When it seems like the actors are as surprised about the dialog as the people watching, then you know that it's bad. But you can't help but watch, just to see what may happen next. I liked it for the pure entertainment that I got from the actors, and not necessarily for the acting itself and definitely not for the "scares" that a decent horror movie can and will deliver.

This is the most memorable film I have ever seen. I have always enjoyed bad films, and this is the pinnacle.... I don't believe you could make a film less good.The acting is bad, really horrible... REALLY atrocious, with actors looking at the camera, reading cue cards (those that could read), monotonous delivery of lines without any emotion whatsoever. It is hard to believe that any one of these actors have ever even seen a movie.The lighting seems to have been done with 40 watt light bulbs and flashlights. You can't see anything much of the time.The sound is the most fascinating part of this film, and the most difficult to relate to you. Sound effects seem to have been done by pre-schoolers. Sound quality is reminiscent of the cassette recorder I had in 1972... if you held it under water.The plot is non-existent. There really isn't any story at all. At first I thought the director was trying to make a 'B' movie spoof like Evil Dead... Quickly I realized that this was an actual attempt at creativity and horror. I spent the entire rest of the film with my mouth open in absolute awe of this remarkable failure.I highly recommend you see this film, and I assure you that you will remember it the rest of your life.

As a summary review, the film was good once all things are considered. It was shot on a shoe string and seemed to include a good bit of improv. All in all, not a bad flick for the B-horror genre. George Demick did a decent job with so little resource.

Aargh. Where to begin? I shall attempt to communicate in brief and unrelated fragments (as the movie frequently did): bad acting, a feeble attempt at special effects, horribly filmed, dialogue muffled (not that it would be worth hearing), and absolutely no plot whatsoever.For an especially torturous evening, pair this classic with "Ax 'Em", another fine film from our friends at York Entertainment.
