To be honest about it, this horror flick is one of those flicks that I regret seeing. Mediocrity was all over the place, especially apparent in the plot of the story, which is supposed to be the core that cuts deepest to the audience.
The whole film appeared amateurish, and I personally think the section to blame is the writers'. The "Give me your suffering" concept could have been an essential meat but was all taken into waste by coming up with the common characters that you would be able to predict how each would die or worse, how the film would end.
It could have been better if the film focused on the emotional turmoil of just one character, the lead, and entangled the minds of the audience into predicting if she is really seeing things or just plainly insane like her father and brother.
The emergence of the other characters, who also ended up as the victims, made the film all the more trashy - from how each was introduced, how they were drawn automatically to be friends and be in one circle was mushy, up to how each of them was killed.
All in all, Asylum is just another teeny bopper film. And yes, it's horrifying. Horrifyingly boring.
