Insanitarium Audience Reviews

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Spikeopath Written and directed by Jeff Buhler, it stars Jesse Metcalfe, Kiele Sanchez, Kevin Sussman and Peter Stormare.After the untimely death of her mother, Lily attempts suicide and is committed to a mental health institution. Her brother, Jack, gets himself committed so as to break his sister out of the facility, but what he finds within those walls is sheer horrifying carnage.You don't need me to point up all the films that this uses as influences, this is pure and simple a bloody zombie/infected based movie, with some sturdy young and attractive actors trying to survive as they strive to escape the madness! Cast are fine and full of guts, with Stormare let loose by the director to instill the head doctor with mania/ego unbound.It takes a while to get going, but fans of blood and gore aplenty are well catered for in the second half of film. The setting of an asylum is also a plus (filmed at RFK Memorial Hospital, Hawthorne, California) and with Stormare on mean - mad - overdrive, this is far from bottom of the barrel stuff. 6/10
TheRetardedVacuum A man named Jack (Jesse Metcalfe) gets himself admitted to an insane asylum to break out his mentally ill sister Lily (Kiele Sanchez) who was admitted for trying to kill herself. There he discovers that the sadistic head Dr. Gianetti (Peter Stormare) is drugging the patients making them crave human flesh.I thought this movie was very fun to watch. The gore is great and a lot more than I expected, people are stabbed, dismembered, cannibalized, one guy gets a meat cleaver to the head, another gets a knife through the jaw, and much more. The assorted lunatics were also fun to watch, can't really explain why, they just kinda fascinated me.The main character Jack, who's character was pretending to be insane, and was not all too believable sometimes, but who cares! This is a fun and gory movie that makes for an entertaining 80 minutes.
artpf One of the worst flicks I've seen in a long time. A stolen plot from TV's Prison Break that even features actors from the show! Instead of prison it's an insane asylum and instead of saving his brother it's his sister.Shameful rip off with some incredibly poor acting. The rest of the "Plot" is stereotyped from every bad crazy people exploitation movie ever made -- including the sex crazed hunny with giant implants.It's an insulting mess.If if was done in a campy sort of way, perhaps there would be some funny moments to capture our interest, but it's not.It's done as a straight forward horror movie and it simply doesn't work in the slightest.Stay away at all costs!
JoeB131 The premise of this movie is that a man gets himself committed to an insane asylum to rescue his suicidal sister. What he finds is that a mad doctor is injecting his patients with a new nano-tech drug that turns patients into cannibal vampire killers. This is the setup that allows about two hours of unremitting gore.The saddest thing about this is the participation of Armin Shimmerman of Star Trek. He's actually a good actor, and he spends all of his four scenes on the same set. They probably only had him for a day, and had to work him into the otherwise meaningless plot.It's not a great movie, it's typical of its genre. It has some interesting performances and some good production values, but honestly, I didn't really care about the characters and don't see a reason for you to.
