Leofwine_draca PARANORMAL ASYLUM is a straight-to-video found footage horror flick made on a tiny budget. It doesn't have much sense and plays out just like every other example of the genre that you can think of. A couple of aspiring student filmmakers investigate the legend of a local 'Typhoid Mary' and soon find themselves pursued by her spirit in numerous cheesy scenes. This has a glossy look and feel to it which doesn't really match with the stilted performances and dreadful CGI effects. It's not the kind of film that you can get excited about.

hoytyhoyty What a mess.This film is a good example of the axiom, 'The Story Is King'. The story is indeed of paramount importance, so you'd better include one. These guys forgot to.I've seen some very good low-budget non-mainstream horrors recently, such as 'Absentia' and 'Afflicted'. This isn't one of them.Annoyingly, this film starts out with great promise. Whoever was fiddling with the video-toolbox managed to get some great effects out of it, and even the occasional momentary scare.But then the complete lack of a plot destroys the whole thing, and you end up watching it to the end - I'm assuming the reader got that far - purely on a train-wreck-fascination basis. The story makes no sense at all.And what's with all the historical inaccuracies? Surely a good ghost plot could have been cooked up around the strange tale of the real Mary - the truth was bizarre enough by itself. This fiction was just silly. The bits with the girlfriend, the kitchen, the modified voice, the basement and - particularly - the recipe, were just sooooooo irritating.Well guys, I hope it didn't leave you completely broke. Analyse your mistakes, and write a story before you attempt your next effort.- -- ---

Jvaneng Words cannot express how terrible this movie was. I have it ranked as the second worst movie I have ever seen (Dracula 3000 being the worst) Some of the positives on this movie - Michelle had nice white teeth, the men had nicely brushed hair, and the story of Typhoid Mary of course has potential. I think the biggest problem with this film (as everyone else has pointed out) is that there was no chemistry at all, and all the interactions seemed forced and very unbelievable. You can fault the terrible acting, the struggle to remember their lines, or the hokey side stories. Any scene with struggling in it ... wow ... bad doesn't do justice. All in all - the biggest issue was everything. To quote my wife - "Why is this movie lasting so long?" (it runs 89 mins) We watched this for *free* on Netflix, and still felt ripped off (you can fault us for not turning it off I guess)If you are tempted to watch this film ... don't. Grab a camera, some friends, heck - even grab a few drinks, and make your own version, it will be better than this!

FemalefanLotR Paranormal Asylum: The Revenge of Typhoid Mary tells the story of Typhoid Mary who in the early 20th century was kept in confinement at a mental institution in New York when it was thought that she was responsible for spreading the fever. Decades later two friends and one of the friend's girlfriends decide to investigate and film her story, however they discover that Mary's ghost is out for revenge. My issues with this movie include: Poorly written script and awful acting from the main cast. At some points it was slow moving It was a cheap knock off of Grave Encounters including the ending This is not a movie worth watching and I give it a 1/5
