James Bishop, the ambitious new resident at “K-10” a remote insane asylum filled with everything from paranoid schizophrenics to homicidal maniacs put away by courts by “reason of insanity.”

Immediately upon arriving James pulls the ultimate horror movie faux pas by not realizing that OBVIOUSLY there’s something very wrong with the asylum and its populous. Less than 10 minutes into the movie it was painfully apparent that it was "highway time" and that K-10 is not your optimal workplace.

Asylum of the Damned wastes absolutely no time in letting us know that we’re being subjected to ANOTHER one of those tired out clichéd horror movies. Patients are mysteriously dying, talk of a demon is floating around, but they’re insane, it’s all crazy talk right?

Needless to say, it doesn’t take long to figure out who the bad guys are, and what’s going on, you just have to sit through 90 minutes of tedium to prove to yourself that you were right.

Filled with wickedly dramatic overacting, no chemistry between characters. Almost every single scene seemed forced, it’s almost as if the actors had never met before they were filmed delivering their lines to each other.

Pretty much a waste of time, the gore wasn’t gory, no nudity to speak of, no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Pass this one up.

Pros: Bill Mckinney, cameos as a gas station attendant, he usually makes small appearances, most of us old timers will always remember him as the inbred redneck that took a liking to poor Ned Beatty’s “purty mouth” and made him squeal like a pig in Deliverance.

Cons: Infinitely predictable from the word go, and boring to boot.

Review Rating: 1 out of 10 Demon's handprints on your chest.
