Insanitarium

A girl goes insane and is institutionalized. Her brother decides to get her out by getting himself committed as well. But strange things happen inside. Some of the patients have changed iris color and are rather violent. One of the nurses sympathizes with the brother, a nympho patient is trying to get him into trouble in more than one ways. As it turns out some of these patient with the gray iris in the maximum security area go completely nuts at the sight of blood. They turn into animals. The good Dr. in charge (Peter Stormare, from...Prison Break) is developing his own compound that he thinks will cure all mental disease. His sidekick, a pretty female Dr., goes along with everything the Dr. does. When the sister is about to injected with the substance, the brother and a fellow institutionalized guy decide it's time to get her out. But by then all hell breaks loose. The patients turn outright into cannibals and for some silly script-required coincidence, our group of heroes has to continuously run through the dangerous maximum security area. Of course the brother knows everything about electronics, building layout, etc., he can disarm any security device with a kick and playing with wires. Overall, this movie has the right idea, but goes through all the clichés. It looks good although it is evident there wasn't much of a budget. Perhaps they could have put some money into better use by hiring less extras. There's some gore but little horror.

One of the worst flicks I've seen in a long time. A stolen plot from TV's Prison Break that even features actors from the show! Instead of prison it's an insane asylum and instead of saving his brother it's his sister. Shameful rip off with some incredibly poor acting. The rest of the "Plot" is stereotyped from every bad crazy people exploitation movie ever made -- including the sex crazed hunny with giant implants. It's an insulting mess. If if was done in a campy sort of way, perhaps there would be some funny moments to capture our interest, but it's not. It's done as a straight forward horror movie and it simply doesn't work in the slightest. Stay away at all costs!

I've seen a lot of horror movies, but this film gave me an unsettling feeling afterward, something I hadn't felt in years. The plot begins with a brother desperately trying to find his sister. He cuts himself up and starts shouting violently at a park, in order to get arrested. He gets thrown into a maximum security area which is a wonderful set. He soon discovers an experimental drug given to patient is turning them into cannibals. The result is gruesome, the patients who have "changed" are sliced with meat cleavers, knifes, and many other sharp objects. Not too mention falling down a shaft. There is a monster at every turn, leaving the viewer in constant anticipation This movie has the longest zombie chase scene I have seeing.making it worth a watch.

The first time I seen this masterpiece I new it was a great movie. Everything about this movie spews out horror and not a lot of movies do that now a days. This movie brings the horror film back to its roots, good bloody gory fun that in this movie is helped along by some twisted looks on how horror should be. Its one of my favorite horror movies and about the only one I can say that is even close to late release that I like enough to write about. I guess If I were to compare it to some other ones Id say a movie like 28 days later maybe, its really on par with it and 28 days later is a great movie, great great. This movie really deserves to be up there with all the other great horror movies like the ring, the scream movies and all of them. You will not want to miss this if your any type of horror fan and if your a B Horror movie fan then this is the best movie you could possibly imagine watching.

Movie is bad, the direction was poor, the plot was uninteresting. Initially it seems those who turn to zombie like are slow moving and by end they seem to turn fast. The movie is a copy of other many projects like 28 days later etc but was poorly made. It gets real boring and unwatchable after sometime. Those who don't watch much of horror movies might find it okay but the usual horror buffs wont like this sort of crap. Overall the acting was just okay, nothing more than that. The movie is over hyped. A disappointment. I wont recommend it, don't watch. I would give it a generous 3.

OK, forget the realism you are looking for. Its a zombie movie. Ain't no realism in there. Just like all the other zombie movies. The first 20 mins I really liked. I think it would have been a cool idea to have him committed and then the movie go from the crazy/mad/psyche kind of view, ending up along the lines of... maybe he is really crazy. But no, they went the zombie route, which was fine with me too, just they could have made this into a ...really maybe he is crazy kind of movie. Overall, this was a pretty good movie, definitely not for the ones that don't like blood and guts spraying everywhere, a few scenes of nudity, a corrupt guard, and an even worse doctor running the show, makes for a fairly entertaining movie. Don't take it too seriously, if you are looking for a regular movie, with a not so Hollywood ending, then this one is for you. This is definitely not a Romantic Comedy that you would want to sit down with your wife/girlfriend/partner/significant other with.

The only sister of Jack (Jesse Metcalfe), Lily Romero (Kiele Sanchez), tries to commit suicide after the death of their mother. Jack is in despair since Lily is sent to a mental institution and Jack is not allowed to visit her. Jack pretends to be insane and is arrested and sent to the same asylum with the intention of rescuing Lily from the place. Sooner Jack learns that the administrator, Dr. Gianetti (Peter Stormare), is a deranged scientist that is using the patients like guinea pigs, forcing them to use the experimental drug Orpheus. Further, the side effect is turning patients and staff into flesh-eating zombies. But Lily and Jack are trapped in the mental institution and there is no way out for them. "Insanitarium" has the absurd premise of a sane man that pretends to be lunatic to meet his sister that is institutionalized in an asylum. Jack does not seek the justice, but acts like a crazy man instead. Out of the blue, the plot turns into a gory and funny dementia, splashing blood everywhere like in the trash "Braindead" and other zombie films. In the end, despite the stupid story, I found it funny and entertaining for fans of the genre. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): "Insanatório - Quem Entra, Não Sai" ("Insanitarium – Who Gets In, does not Get Out")

I did not like the corny macho lines from a Scharzenegger movie as the hero kills the crazy cannibals, but this is a small problem because it does everything very well and is much much better than many more expensive horror. The actors look like they had a good time playing the patients in the hospital and they make an excellent job. The bad guys do not try to be too real, but take it seriously enough not to end up a a silly comedy. I like this. I think the director loves horror movies and watches them a lot. I expect he is very happy with this movie, and I like this also. I will watch out for this guy. Many modern ( and old) horror movies have some great scenes but have so many bad ones that the result is not good when you watch it all together. This is not true of Insanitarium, the story an old one but a good one and moves along fast. It is also very bloody with a crazy finale that tells you this is not a Hollywood type movie. In summary, Insanitarium is not original, but it is very entertaining. I give it 8/10.
