Leave your thoughts about Asylum.
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerPaula NechakA film that takes you by surprise, refusing to relinquish its grim, fascinating hold. Better yet, it has crept up on us without much advance promotional fanfare. The less known about its twists, the better. |
| Slant MagazineJeremiah KippAsylum tries telling similar tales (twice) and comes up pathetically short in the scare department, but the atmosphere and theatrics of the Amicus presentation make it a more than worthwhile trip down memory lane for die-hard horror buffs. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumDavid Mackenzie, who directed the remarkable Scottish drama "Young Adam" (2003), delivers another masterful, disturbing tale of illicit passion, erotic obsession, and sudden death set in the 1950s. |
| SalonAndrew O'HehirIt's one of the year's signature film experiences. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittPatrick McGrath's novel provides a solid and suspenseful story, even if it loses much of its bite in Mackenzie's hands. |
| Miami HeraldConnie OgleThe film, with its uniformly terrific cast, stern Gothic overtones and steady but measured pacing, is a crisp, old-fashioned delight, eschewing cheap tricks for repeated tiny pricks of unease that work up to a continuous gnawing dread. |
| The A.V. ClubNick SchagerAsylum was written by Robert Bloch, the author of the original novel Psycho, and produced by the U.K.’s Amicus Productions, which was responsible for a series of horror anthologies during the ’60s and ’70s. Asylum remains, by far, their finest offering, in part because of its pitch-perfect gothic mood, and in part because its stories present varied perspectives on the depths of obsessive madness. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovThe delectably atmospheric Asylum remains gothic to its morally maggoty core. |
| EmpireAnna SmithIt may not be as daring as Young Adam, but this is a well-performed adaptation of an absorbing melodrama. |
| The A.V. ClubKeith PhippsMackenzie's film could almost use one or two lurid touches in place of its stately distance. Then again, a more stylized approach might have allowed less room for Richardson, whose unsparing performance makes other elements almost irrelevant. |
