Review of Dark Asylum

Dark Asylum (2001)
2/10
A very, very bad movie
22 July 2009
I would put this in the top 10 worst movies I have ever seen. But actually, I can't really think of a worst movie, so maybe this one is The One. When I wasn't falling asleep with boredom, I was cringing at the bad acting and absurd script that reads as if it was poorly translated from a foreign language. There are the absurdly slow fight scenes when, for example, a cop mysteriously just drops his gun and allows himself to be strangled. Then there is the lame attempt at irony, when the crazy guy says to the main character "You're insane."

Like a slowly unfolding car accident, I couldn't look away. Now I am left with a feeling of shame and emptiness for the 2 hours of my life that I wasted--precious time that I could have used for something more productive, like hitting my fingers with a hammer, or holding a penny on the wall with my nose.

Even Judd Nelson's acting was bad.
