Dark Asylum

[Guest Anglesault]

Anyone see this movie?

 

SPOILERS

 

 

 

The plot is that a female psychologist gets locked in the loonie bin with a serial killer after the man managed to chew through his straight jacket and escape.

 

This killer's distinguishing characteristic you ask? Why, he's obese. Seriously, the serial killer is about 375 pounds of fat and he can outrun everyone else in the film.

 

So after about an hour of whacky horror shindigs, we get to the actual chase. Where we find out that the man can't be killed. He gets shot two ot three times, bashed up the head with a fire extinguisher and electrocuted, no dice. I guess we're supposed to assume that his fat insulates him.

 

And, of course, the whole plot of the movie ends up falling apart, as the whole time the killer is looking for a key to the lock down door, and he just kind of leaves through another door.

 

Oh, and they keep hand grenades in the nut house.

 

Very strange movie.

At first, I thought that you were accepting some of those plotholes.

 

Seems very strange, indeed - I'll have to see it.

It's actually sitting on my DVR right now. I taped it the other night because the brief write up made it sound interesting.

 

I'll let you know when I watch it.

Sounds almost like a bad Halloween ripoff.

Not quite that good.

 

Think about that for a minute.

Decent enough direct-to-video film. Judd Nelson's character was terribly underwritten.
