Probably one of the BETTER Asylum movies...


..if not the BEST.

Which isn't saying much since 98% of their output is GARBAGE. gave this a 5/10, managed to entertain me for an hour & 20 while getting ready for work.

I think 'Zombie Apocalypse' is better than this. This was still kinda entertaining though.

The intro sequence was so bad...seeing "The Asylum" show up in the credits explained everything. Knowing that it came from them, I was actually surprised with the look of the film (didn't feel as "home video"-y as their usual) and the cheesy but decent kills.

Still, this thing was a mess. The writing and acting were sort of atrocious, and the entire plot hinges on bizarre contrivances and impossible reactions (no one ever finds the villain suspicious until he stabs them, and sometimes NOT EVEN THEN). I could complain about his inexplicable knowledge of the world, the habits and travels of all people in the film, and his complete invulnerability and super strength, or even his unbelievably complicated plan at the end which doesn't really add up at all given the...whole previous film. The plot and the character are just set aside so that they can unfurl a stupid, utterly cliched and obvious "gotcha!" moment. It wouldn't even have been a decent ending if it were plausible.

The ending felt like a protracted parody of other poorly written horror films. They took my least favorite horror cliche of all time, ran with it for so long and played it so straight that you'd think they just found out about it.

As it is I rated it a 4, and I still wonder if I'm being too generous.

But yeah, still probably one of the better Asylum films I've seen.

the villain was quite creepy looking and acting, quite scary. and the end parts were good, the parts where he kills one after another person. the bed kill from friday the 13th part 2 was so great. it's what the double kill bed scene in ft13th part 2 should have been. didn't you love this?

Didn't Asylum make Sharknado?

I've only seen this and Snakes On A Train. Which was garbage.

This was decent.
