After an unsuccessful experience as screenplay writer, Mark (Aaron Mathias) comes from Los Angeles to New York invited by his former college friend Andy (Nathan Spiteri). Andy lives with his girlfriend Michelle (Laura Gilreath) and the aspiring filmmaker expect to make a documentary about a patient of an abandoned hospital called Typhoid Mary. They investigate her case and interview people connected to her expecting to find the truth about the internee. Soon they discover that Mary was an outcast daughter and probably a guinea pig in the asylum where her father interned her. When Michelle performs a séance, she is possessed the spirit of Mary. Meanwhile Mark learns that Michelle, Andy and his life are in danger. "Paranormal Asylum: The Revenge of Typhoid Mary" is an awful horror movie with a messy screenplay, terrible action and laughable dialogues and situations. This is one of the few movies that has practically unanimous opinions about. My vote is one.Title (Brazil): "Atividade Sobrenatural: A Vingança de Mery" ("Supernatural Activity: The Revenge of Mery")

Firstly, I will applaud that this film does have a great idea behind it, being based on a fact, but it wasn't executed in the best way. Other then the no scares at all, it was a very timid horror/ghost film, I've ever seen, which I did not expect from the title: Paranormal Asylum. The film's quite obviously made on a budget, with obviously poorly done graphics, and special effects which makes the film scream fake. The storyline had so many holes in it, and was not fluent. All in all, if I could I would not rate this film anything, surprised it's been given like 2 stars. It's not worth watching or taking the time out of your day to watch. However if you do decide to watch the film, you have been warned! @RebeccaKLxo

I was afraid to start watching it and not for the scary parts if they were involved but for the title. It contains the word Paranormal and of course you are immediately linked to the Paranormal Activity franchise. And when it is written on the sleeve Inspired By True Events then you know you have to be carefully. The first 15 minutes you start to know the main leads and it works but of course the activity is already there and it didn't look convincing. It is even done like the original franchise with Day 1 and Day 2 so you also know that it is going to be a slow movie. In the beginning the activity is done by sound. Later on the activity becomes more active in lights going on and off, windy area's, shaky cam shots. You have seen it all before but I kept watching to see more. Then the activity takes place in the camera itself and slowly it did lose my attention. The ghost on the rail track was a bit ridiculous. And from there on it's clear that it was a low budget flick, where were the effects? The acting should show the possession but that just doesn't work that way. Here and there we had the fast movement of the possessed girl but after a while the movie fast forwarded too, I pressed the button on the remote. To be honest, the best part was after 65 minutes when Michelle (Laura Gilreath) was walking around in her underwear...and her face changing into a fake Goth, well it wasn't intended to be funny but it was.

The very first hint that this movie is not up to par is in the summary. The legend of Typhoid Mary is so easy to find any modern seven-year-old could look it up. Early on in the film, they make up a new, special story for Typhoid Mary that has only three points in common with the original story: Typhoid Mary worked as a cook, the approximate time line, and the fact she was an immigrant. I remember learning this story in grade school, so hearing the new and not so improved story was jarring. Then, near the end, they randomly change the time line.The dialog is, at best, awkward, and the characters are uniformly stupid in different ways. The leading male waffles between believing and not believing in ghosts, even in the last few scenes of the movie.The absolute best part of the movie is that it takes the best parts of found footage films and mixes it with asides from a non-shaky-camera perspective. The absolute worst part? It feels disjointed and lacks an element of fear. The scariest scene, aside from the very end, is watching the vegan eat meat.If you like movies based on actual legends, don't watch. If you like films set in asylums, don't watch. If you like ghost stories, watch with caution.
