MCT:October 4, 2008When a man's sister is commited following a failed suicide attempt and he no longer has any contact with her he decided the only way to help her is to get her out of the hospital she is sent to he has himself commited fakeing insane only coming to find out there is more to this hospital that meets the eye the head doctor is just as insane as the patients and is useing them as lab rats for a new drug that has reverse effects making them crazy and blood thirsty psychos. Nice and Creepy well done horror movie filled enough blood to keep most horror fans satisfited really worth checking out.

Very Bloody, Creepy, Scary Horror! I really enjoyed this! Kind of took you back to the old genre of horror films...the good ones!

MCT:August 25, 2008So this is apparently the guy writing "Midnight Meat Train" which is supposed to be THE next big horror movie. Well the last time there was hype of this tone, it came in the form of Eli Roth and Hostel- so I'm aware of false prophets.
To describe the movie quickly, it's like a z-budget crew does better than they should, but considering they're not even coloring that corn syrup right, there's not much to expect of them. There's no story here; the doctor character is so vapid and like a character exercise than a real character. The plot's dumb - guy gets himself committed so he can save his sister from the hospital's secret experiments which is turning the residents into zombieish-wannabes. It's "The Crazies" but set entirely in an asylum, which would sound AWESOME, but the one scene in Nightmare on Elm Street (2 I think it was or maybe 3) where the madmen rape Freddy's mother to create him packs more punch than this whole film.
It's a nice try, but inconsequential because its script sucks. You can't have a totally serious take on this plotline in modern horror - it's just laughable to make something so artificial seem important with this sort of action-oriented directing approach.
All bitching done, this is better than 'Cabin Fever' so maybe MMT has hope yet if the Buhlan guy has gotten better at his form and the director can make the actors take his stuff seriously (if he insists on continuing with the serious, everything needs tightening ESPECIALLY his characterizations... this is pathetic and akin to what a "madlibs horror bot" would generate, cept it's not at all amusing, and it certainly doesn't scare.
People should only be seeing this years and years from now IF and BECAUSE of what the director has done since, like how I look back on Romero's "The Crazies" and can see the talent percolating but not yet peaking. Thing is though - if you pit this movie directly against "The Crazies" from which it derives, Insanitarium's clunky melodrama cannot stand up to the simple fear drama of the focal group in "The Crazies". There are a few promising cinematography shots in the movie, and the director does better than most with production effects (except for the blood color problems).
High body count, but low logic. Sometimes that can be a great combo. Most of the time, like now, it is just as crappy and thrill-less as it sounds. -

It's aptly named. Sadly, there's not much genuinely entertaining of frightening material amidst all the craziness.

Insanitarium is very reminisant of a 90s straight to video release, although it offers a half decent storyline and the cast is recognisable it just doesn't light the screen up. Peter Storemare is playing a 2d character and Jesse Metcalfe in the lead was average at best. Half decent but dont expect too much.

Lots of fun! Insanitarium attempts to explain the beginnings of a zombie invasion - the medical experiment gone wrong that we never have the chance to witness. It's a bit talky at first, but once the ball gets rolling Insanitarium turns into a bloody good time! Check this one out for a treat.

Well, well, well, what to say about this. Well the story wasn't as bad, for a scary/bloody movie. Actually kinda one of the better I must admit. The Cast was decent but good Lordy the acting was aweful. That actually made it worst...too bad, I actually liked it.

After he's institutionalized in order to cover for his sister, a young man encounters a doctor who is turning his patients into flesh-eating psychopaths.

I enjoyed this movie to an extent except for the ending....It was not a zombie flick but has zombie like qualities....gore is well but some scenes are over kill on the blood....could be worth a watch if your really bored or if your into this kind of thing...

The concept was really good. I enjoyed it until the zombie part occurred, I really didn't need to see impossibly fake gore.

Mildly entertaining horror flick with the strongest point by far the fact that Olivia Munn is in it. The movie got an extra star just because of Olivia, so besides that it's just a one star movie if that. Terrible scripting, plot holes everywhere, and the usual horror cliches of people doing completely illogical things.
