Asylum
Once you're in, you can never get out.
A group of beautiful coeds discover that their dorm was once a mental hospital where unspeakable experiments were performed by a deranged physician trying to "cure" troubled teens. But now the mad doctor's ghost is back to continue his torturous work... and he's running out of patients! Sarah Roemer (Disturbia) and Travis Van Winkle (Transformers) star in this spine-tingling thriller from the director of Final Destination 2 and Cellular.

This movie had an interesting description but man, did it fall short of any expectations I might have had. The lead actress (the blond girl from Disturbia) is semi decent but all the other actors are terrible, they should not be acting. The way the plotline (a dorm is a former asylum, where a crazy doctor killed teeenage patients) is totally unbelievable (so the university was built on the ground of an asylum, sure, I can go along with that, but the fact they have had this huge abandaon building just rotting there doesn't make sense). Do yourself a favor, don't even zip this for background noise.at least it's short? - chrish
This had potential, but turned out to be extremely boring. It's poorly shot... seems like half the film is in pitch darkness lit by the flashlights held by the characters, so you can't see what's going on. The other half of the movie is the main character walking down hallways.
The story reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street crossed with a better haunted hospital movie whose name escapes me.
The characters are mostly flat, obnoxious clichés and the one with the most life is the ghost (or IS HE?) lobotomist.Better than expected... - crazoid
This is not a bad movie if you like horror movies. It tells the story of a group of first year students at a fictional university, whose dormitory is being used for the first time since being an abandoned psychiatric hospital, run by a strange psychiatrist with "unusual" methods of treating young patients. Well, it seems the ghost of the psychiatrist is back to continue his work on the young students. It's a good 90 minutes of entertainment, especially if you like the premise. I give it four out of five stars.
