  this should be a movie that i enjoy because i love zombie movies but this is truly a terrible movie. Probably one of the worst zombie movies ive ever watched. The whole story fails to impress is just not worth the watch.

  Nothing like a good mental hospital movie gone zombie halfway through. Peter Stormare always adds bonus points, as does forced one-liners.

  So 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,… More
  So 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.

  This movie was campy, hokey and completely unbelievable at times. I'm guessing though, that it was supposed to be like that in parts, and am not penalizing it too much for that. I'm mainly rating it so low because it's unoriginal, uninspired and rips off other movies.… More
  This movie was campy, hokey and completely unbelievable at times. I'm guessing though, that it was supposed to be like that in parts, and am not penalizing it too much for that. I'm mainly rating it so low because it's unoriginal, uninspired and rips off other movies. I'm not a big fan of Jesse Metcalfe and think his main role could have been carried better by someone else.. but the quirky main supporting cast is probably the best part of the movie.. Peter Stormare proves again he has got the skeezy 'misunderstood' evil character on lockdown.. no matter how often he's a horrible human being in movies, there is always a part you want to side with and root for.. other pluses are Kevin Sussman, Olivia Munn, Carla Gallo (Bones) and Armin Shimerman (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

  Watchable; if you like gory films and zombies.

  When 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.
