This was not good. It has all the creepy atmosphere one would expect from a period piece, yet it is set in modern day, which, at least for me, was a huge mistake.
_Asylum_ is an anthology movie, centered around patients in an asylum for the criminally insane. What the movie does well is eat its cake, and have it to in regards to having supernatural stories based in reality. How? Well, the people are insane... or are they? Are they retelling actual paranormal events or are they delusional?
Ultimately, I just found the stories boring. This was like a bad version of The Twilight Zone. Worse yet, some moments were just silly - case in point: I know this movie predates _Puppet Master_ by a decade, but it really made the concept look ridiculous.
The acting is mostly good. I wouldn't call this a waste of time, but once was enough for me. May have actually been ahead of its time.
