Asylum: Twisted Horror and Fantasy Tales

I read about this movie and then watched the trailer. The trailer was hard enough to sit through. I couldn't see myself sitting through the entire mess of a movie. It just made no sense whatsoever at any point. With that being said, I also look for familiar faces and seen that Heather Morris is in this. Anything with her in it is a direct turn-off for me. If you've ever seen interviews with her then you know she's an obsurdly pretentious person looking for the next co-worker to throw under the proverbial bus. I suppose that explains why she's not so very successful after GLEE. If you can actually make it through this movie then I applaud you.

Thee storyline really made it for me. Being a huge fan of horror films, I might come off as a little biased, but in a nutshell, this film takes the horror genre to the next level and on the right path not relying on cheesy jump scares And quick camera pops this movie allows you to use your imagination and keeps you glued to the seat the entire time almost putting you in a hypnotic state it's one of those films that I might have to watch a second or third time just to make sure, I fully understand what took place. Kudos to the cast and crew, job well done and I would definitely recommend this film to this who are junkies of the horror genre, especially around this time of year.

This movie definitely had some potential, but ruined it with the shorts. Brandon's story could have been pulled together better and more clear if different shorts were used to transition. Some parts were somewhat entertaining but most were pretty boring. Along with boring, also stupid, unnecessary and even cringey. Some were just copied and/or horror movie cliches! There should have been more original stories. I get the theme of them but should have been better set up and animated. Although the clowns in horror movies are used a lot, this movie would have been way better sticking to that subject. The parts were very scattered and confusing but the crazed clown phenomenon at then end really tied the bow. If it weren't for the end, my rating would have been lower. I liked the idea of the shorts again could have been better set. All in all pretty decent movie, it wasn't necessarily horrible so I recommend watching it.

A movie with short horror stories in it. There are some very mediocre stories and beautiful ones. There are occasional comedy transitions. "exorcism" and "undead man" from the stories were not bad. Most stories end without an ending. A watchable movie. There is a lot of swearing and sexual talk.

My Godly mother always told me that if you couldn't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

The best thing I can say about watching this movie, is that inspired me to write a review & hopefully deter others from experiencing the disappointment they'll likely feel if they watch it. There's three reasons I didn't give this anthology only one star. First, one star, to me, means that I honestly believe that no more than 10% of people would get any enjoyment out of it. I can imagine that perhaps 30% of people may find this movie palatable at best. Second, even though none of the stories were scary nor fulfilling, about half of them did at least hold my interest until the inevitable anticlimactic poor endings.. Finally, i feel that the anthology had the potential to be average, but fell woefully short due to the stories that bad endiings, convoluted, confusing plots or the usual insertion of asinine, offensive political propaganda, that we see too often nowadays. Overall, I'd say 3 out of 10 stars is a fair rating.

If you liked the Cleansing hour, you'll like this. They 200% ripped it off. Just shortened. Didn't keep watching because of that. Every little detail is the same. So disappointing.

As with all anthologies, there are good stories and there are bad ones. I felt this was a bit more unique than a lot of the more recent horror anthologies I've seen. The stories were mostly funny, quirky, and weird. It does have some really boring bits though but I'd still recommending watching it.

Like with many short movie anthologies this has good and not so good entries. I reckon some might argue some weak entries actually. But overall I did like what I got served here. Some are a bit stranger than others too and I was a bit irritated by how certain segments were cut in. You don't seem to get a resolution ... or not one you may hope for with some shorts here. Having said that, this is horror and it will be a matter of taste. One thing is for sure, there is enough blood and gore and it begins with a bang. Whatever you may think of the first story, it is more than well made and it hits all the right points. Same goes for the animated one ... so all in all a more than decent effort.

Im not going to do a review for the short stories. Some were great some i have seen on youtube many times before. I do want to give my opinion on the actual star Brandon, the embodiment of what I think most clowns feel on the inside! The guy was gross, kinda dumb, perfect amount of self loathing and in my opinion all things combined made him unsettling and off putting, which I am going to assume was his goal. So for that reason I give Brandon, the worst kinda clown there is, an honest one, 8 out of 10 stars!! The movie really isn't as bad as the ridiculous humorless "critics" are saying. Its a perfect rainy day afternoon watch!! Give it a shot it is more horror comedy than straight up horror. I enjoyed it and in the end that's all that matters!!
