Asylum (2005)

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Thanks for the memories!

Redundant and unnecessary.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

How can anyone say the acting is good in this film?The script and direction were so appalling I defy anyone to make a good job of it.I saw it at the Edinburgh film festival when it first came out and have managed to wipe most of it from my memory.I do remember that the director was sitting right behind me,as he was scheduled to do a Q and A.Needless to say he did a runner before the film finished as most of the audience was laughing hysterically,especially when the mother sniffed her dead child's pyjamas.This is definitely one of the worst films I have ever seen.I know most of the films made these days are complete and utter trash,but they don't pretend to be otherwise,and I wouldn't bother to go and see them.

A faithful adaptation of an utterly depressing book, "Asylum", while devastatingly depressing is completely compelling. The viewer is held spellbound, swept away by the story which culminates in a tragic end. The acting is uniformly brilliant, Marton Csokas chewing the scenery every time he is on the screen. Sir Ian MacKellan is equally compelling, scarily believable as a power-mad psychiatrist enjoying his games with his patients and acquaintances. One is left feeling dull and uneasy at the denounement, knowing that there was no other way for the film to end. My only problem were the minor plot-holes: Why would a woman who holds her son as the reason for her existence watch impassively as he drowns? Why would an insane asylum allow a rooftop to be easily accessible to mentally unstable people? Minor quibbles aside, this is a powerful story with brilliant acting and an excellent script.

This film is about the wife of a psychiatrist who falls in love with one of the patients in the psychiatric institution.At the start, I thought that the scenes seem disjointed. The scenes were so short that it seems truncated and underdeveloped. However, as the film develops, the film no longer feels this way. Instead, this turns into an advantage because the scenes are only as long as they need to be, and hence the film is tight and intense, and things happen all the time. There is hardly room for the viewers to breathe!This is an intense film with a lot of emotions. We get to see love, hate, jealousy and regret. Both the director and the actors capture the emotions in the most vivid manner that makes me feel for the characters.The ending is rather unexpected, and the reaction of all the parties concerned in the film are also portrayed.
