Insanitarium (2008 Video)
2/10
It deserves one star but Olivia Munn is in it
6 July 2008
So I got this thinking it was going to be a run of the mill "Disturbing Behavior" I'm crazy but not really film. Part of that is true, its a film. This film is hard to describe. It begins with a very brief introduction to our hero Jack's plight, in which you find out that Jack's sister has been put in an asylum for some reason other then the right reason. Jack hatches a zany plan to get himself committed so that he can enter the asylum and rescue his sister. This is a fairly standard b movie plot and how can you blame them for trying to ride the success of Prison Break. The movie pretends to have a plot until the point that Jack enters the Asylum. The audience is quickly introduced to the mad scientist running the facility and its population of nutty inmates. The mad scientist has created a "nano" serum that has a similar effect to "rage" in 28 days later. Like 28 days later, this movie is zombie flick but you'd never know it unless you actually sat through the first half of the film. Unlike 28 days later, this film is not enjoyable to watch. Imagine taking plots from several different awesome films like 28 days later, disturbing behavior, and the Andromeda strain blending it together and then taking out any elements of a plot and you essentially have insanitarium. I gave the film a two because Olivia Munn is in it and if your an AOTS fan then maybe you can fast forward the film to the parts that she is in to get a glimpse of our favorite host stabbing someone in the face. If you're not an AOTS fan and or don't know Olivia Munn leave this movie to the the abyss of bad b horror films.
