'A gruesome homage to the cult Amicus anthology Asylum'


Reads the description.
My question is, how?

I'm a fan of the Amicus anthology flicks. Asylum, The Monster Club, Tales From The Crypt, etc. Great fun.

This is NOTHING like any of the Amicus flicks and definetly nothing like Asylum.
So how is this an "homage" when it's nothing like the film is meant to "homage" in the first place?
I only watched this due to the description offered, it being an "homage" to a film I enjoy only to find it "homaged" nothing.

At least it featured a naked Emily Booth, so it was not all bad.

Jesus died for our sins. As he's already dead...sin away.

Agreed. I just assumed they were inspired by Amicus to do an anthology and slapped it in the description to spark interest. I see a lot of American anthologies compare themselves to Creepshow for the same reason.
