I first saw this in 2012 on a dvd which I own.
Revisited it recently.
This movie has plenty of atmosphere, tension n gore.
In order to make ends meet, three fellas from a musical band team, work in the cafeteria of an asylum for the criminally insane located far off from the city. The head chef, George, turns up for his cafeteria shift without sleeping the previous night and due to exhaustion, cuts himself and later loses his temper at his band mates. George is asked by his mates to take a nap when he shouts at Harry, an inmate. George somehow has the notion that Harry is convincing other inmates to spit out the pills. George is awakened later by his friend cos of a power failure and because the exterior doors are electronically locked, everyone is now trapped inside the building.
One of the best part is that inspite of the movie taking place during a power failure, none of the scenes are shot in the dark and the annoying flickering lights are zilch.
Check out for the character of Max.
The reaction of George when he sees Max's nose is genuine acting and the way Max gets dizzy n collapses, is top notch acting.
Also the scene where George sees the female nurse lying on the ground and the assumed sexual violation and George's reaction is top notch acting again.
Poor Max, first his nose gets bitten n severed off n later he gets the same fate like Mitzi from Rituals (1977).
