asylum

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0804443/

i am out sick today, and i think the fever has made a mush out of my judgement because i would normally never watch a movie like this.  with good reason: they are uniformly terrible.  the formula: supernatural monster guy + handful of stereotypical college age kids + creepy setting = crap.  the math works out.

as usual, the weaknesses that the evil monster guy will exploit were prominently displayed in the first ten minutes, as well as every device that was needed to propel the story along.  dangerous catwalk leading to asylum area?  accessed.  weird and vaguely creepy groundskeeper?  guy with plot-furthering information.  strings guy?  death by strings.  slutty girl?  abused as a child, death by...i dunno, something superficially related to that.  the closest thing to a plot twist was that the jock douchebag was an ex-glutton (who died by being stabbed in the stomach or something like that.)

asylum gets one lobotomizing spike through the eye.  both eyes.  whatever.
