I used to watch a bunch of horror movies back in the late 1980s, but I haven't seen "Doom Asylum" before now in 2018. And let's just be bluntly honest, I hadn't been missing out on anything.This movie was a horror comedy of sorts, but it failed on both fronts. There was nothing funny about it, and I wasn't laughing even a single time. Nor were there any real horror to it, unless you count some questionable slasher feature as being proper horror.The storyline was generic and straightforward, albeit weighed down by laughable dialogue and horrible characters whom were more jokes than actual characters.It should be said, though, that they had someone of an adequate cast to perform in the movie, despite the acting performers having very, very little to work with. It was somewhat of a surprise to see Kristin Davis in a movie such as this. And she was actually the one and only one that was somewhat famous here.While we are on the topic of the characters, what was going on with this three girl musicians? First of all, the music act was just horrible. And they weren't even playing in the movie, they had drums, but the "music" (actually noise) had no drum beat, and the singer was mouth-synching to something that was nowhere near the noise in that "music". It was just atrocious.As for the killer, well they managed to pull off the special effects well enough, taking into consideration the age of the movie. But was he scary or menacing? Not even in the least bit."Doom Asylum" is a movie that you can easily skip, because there is truly nothing unique or interesting here.

A good 80's horror movie .I found myself watching this movie last Sunday morning while i was recovering from a bad hangover . the plot of this movie is about a group of teenagers that decide to spend the day at an abandon asylum/mental hospital ' they start exploring the asylum and soon run into a demonic maniac surgeon who kills them of in very violent ways using his surgical instruments . This movie is very violent and gory and has a high body count 'The acting in this film is not the best but is not all that bad either ' it does star some now very well known actors including KRISTIN DAVIS / PATTY MULLIN.I have to say that this movie is better then your average 80's horror/comedy and i would recommend it to any one who enjoys horror films . I rate this movie an 8/10

I am somewhat of a fan of bad horror movies. A guilty pleasure, I suppose one would call it. I love this movie. The first time I rented it, someone had taped over all but the first half hour. So I saw just enough to hook me into a several year hunt for the full video. When I saw it I was elated to find a movie that didn't take itself at all seriously. The people who made this movie KNEW it was bad and they didn't care.. why? Because it's FUN!!! The 'evil' character in this movie has the most wonderful comedic lines as he commits his villainy. The other characters are totally stereotypes taken from every slasher movie made. I suggest everyone who is a fan of offbeat B (okay it's probably a v) grade movies, check this out.

hey! it's slasher 80's fun, I agree with the guy that said that this is pure Friday entertainment, we have gore, a deformed killer, some hot chicks, and creepy settings. One thing that creeped me out, is the way this killer uses the instruments to kill,, it's so primitive! Don't be fooled by the box of the film, though it looks stupid, and the killer seems to be a joke, the movie is not that terrible. It's a baaaaaaaad movie, but after you watch you can say , that you can watching ANYTHING. Just recommended for true slasher fans!!!
