Asylum, directed by Ben Samuels, pulls you into the unsettling world of an abandoned asylum with a pretty haunting atmosphere. The film follows five young people whose summer boredom leads them to this decaying place, which has seen its share of dark, oppressive history. What starts as a curious exploration quickly escalates into a tense fight for survival. The pacing is effective, building dread as they uncover the asylum's traumatic past. Practical effects are used well, enhancing the eerie vibe without relying too heavily on CGI. Performances feel raw and visceral, capturing the emotional toll of their harrowing experience. It’s this blend of haunting atmosphere and psychological tension that really sets Asylum apart in the genre.
