Wordiezett So much average

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Nigel P Probably the most unfortunate aspect of this film is that the first few scenes give away what becomes the entire story-line. {SPOILERS} In an asylum full of insane killers the world does not care about, a 'Harvester' visits at specific times to claim their souls. This is revealed by the very impressive realisation of the Harvester, the fires of Hell burning from its eyes. The rest of the running time is filled with the new Doctor, James Bishop (Matt Stasi) coming to this apocalyptic conclusion – slowly finding out what we already know.That isn't to say the journey isn't entertaining. The enigmatic, cool, calm and collected Doctor McCourt (Bruce Payne) and his demonic nurse Helen (Tracy Scoggins) are terrifically creepy in their roles. A word too for Lauren (Julia Lee), Bishop's cheerful fiancé, never seeming to realise anything is wrong despite the obvious strain her other half is under.This is good, low-budget fun, containing few surprises, that allows you to 'go with it', with a few moments of effects and gore. I particularly enjoyed the notion of escape attempts being referred to as 'patient indiscretion'. There is some briskly mentioned nonsense about The Harvester being unable to return to whence he came without a soul, so when Bishop makes his escape, the impressive creature has to claim his servant McCourt instead, which seems a little impractical … you might think.

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* After watching "Asylum of the Damned", I got in my car and drove to the nearest bookstore. I came to the realization that there must be better ways to entertain myself than watching a braindead B-movie like this one. So I grabbed the latest Michael Crichton book, "State of Fear", with the hopes that my brain can be recharged and saved before it's too late."Asylum of the Damned" is lame. Yes. That's exactly the word you will use after seeing it. Like, "Geez, that was lame." Lame. So very lame. OK, so some demon lives in the basement of an asylum. Now that I've told you that, you can fast forward through most of the movie. This is one of those movies where the monster is a mystery to the main character but is obvious to everyone else. The hospital staff, the inmates, the director, and the audience all know that there is a big snarling beast in the basement. So what is the point of dragging this movie on and on? Yeesh. By the time our hero figures out that there's a possibly interesting movie hiding in the basement, the audience is sound asleep. They roll the beast out once or twice but he doesn't do much. They probably disturbed his naptime.Avoid this Asylum. Read a book.

ChryZzE This isn't the best movie ever made - or anywhere near that. As horror films go - they're not for everyone and this one is for fans of the genre. First off the setting in this movie is excellent and the actors did a good job on it. However there doesn't seem to have been much of a budget involved in the special effects section. If you're a fan and don't expect any revolutionary stuff - this movie sets the atmosphere for an entertaining evening on the couch.

cptbill I was fooled to rent this movie by its impressive cover. Alas. It is easily one of the worst movies ever made. Judging by the acting of the film characters, it's more a comedy than a horror film. No surprise why no one else has written comments on the imdb. Avoid it.
