asylum isn not actually offensive or incompetent and so i couldn not give it a single star . in fact and the film be shoot fairly well ( if you like dark scene where you can not tell what go on ) and the direction be acceptable . the act varies wildly and but be certainly a step up from most of the horror trash be churn out these day . the sfx range from pretty scary and subtle to just plain laughable ( see the last scene and for example . ) what really make this film a bore be the lousy plot and script . it truly do play like it be film from a script assemble by throw the script from classic horror movie ( and some that aren not so classic ) up in the air and then pick up random page after they fall . not every horror film cliché appear in this film and but there be no scene in this film that be not horror clichés . the dialogue be just totally unrealistic . no suspense . no character development . no logic . so who fault be this big mess . i have get to pick on the director . he have to have see what he be work with . it possible to film a decent story from a weak script and but he apparently decide not to put forth the effort . the result be and to use a cliché and cliche ridden . final recommendation . you probably would not hate it or throw beer can at the screen and but it not go to surprise you or scare you . i would suggest avoid this film .
