A terrible car crash leaves the driver, Mitch (Michael Rogen), horribly disfigured and a little bit deranged, and his girlfriend Judy (Patty 'Frankenhooker' Mullen) just plain dead. Ten years later, Judy's teenage daughter Kiki (also played by Mullen) and her obnoxious pals visit the supposedly deserted asylum where Mitch now prowls the corridors, looking for victims to hack up with his autopsy instruments.I can appreciate the appeal of an unintentionally bad horror movie, but really don't understand why anyone would go out of their way to make deliberately atrocious garbage like Doom Asylum, which knowingly serves up irritating characters, terrible acting, abysmal dialogue, and lousy spoof horror gags. All attempts at humour are absolutely pitiful, with killer Mitch spouting crap one-liners that make Freddy Krueger look like a comedic genius. The film also resorts to padding out the running time with lengthy clips from old black and white horror movies that the killer likes to watch when not out slaughtering teens.Working slightly in the film's favour are the cheap but delightfully grisly make-ups effects, with the goriest moments including a drill though the head, a victim drenched in acid, a circular saw in the face, and some nasty toe-snipping. There's also a fair bit of female flesh on display courtesy of Playboy Pet Mullen and a young Kristin 'Sex in the City' Davis as sexy nerd Jane, both of whom spend the entire movie in their swimsuits, while Ruth Collins, as screechy punk rocker Tina, briefly bares her tits.For the blood and the babes, I award Doom Asylum a rating of 4/10, which is probably more than it really deserves.

Finally I found this hard to find cheap Slasher flick. I watched it for the first time on USA NETWORK several years ago, and it stayed in my memory to these days. I explored the catacombs of a rare video store after digging and getting dust all over me, I found it under the title "The House Of Horror". "Doom Asylum" is a Slasher flick that you have to watch it with very low, (I mean VERY low) expectations because it offers the minimal entertainment for fans of the subgenre. You have to choices: The first is to watch it as a very low budget spoof of Slasher flicks or as a low budget straight Horror flick. You get gore, a deformed killer, sharp instruments to perform kills, hot chicks in bikinis, a cheesy soundtrack, and a very creepy asylum.The death scenes are as cheesy as you want, probably made by an amateur f/x artist. Although I love the drill kill(come on! in slow motion you can see how the drill has a tube that pumps fake blood as it makes pression with the guy's forehead) and the slashed face death; both scenes are extremely cheesy and laughable. I won't even get into the other death scenes because there's almost no production value or even decent fake blood. As a hint, check out when "Mr. Killer" cuts a guy's toes but before doing it, he smells his shoes.There's a lot of black humor in the parody scenes. For example, when the black guy finds the black punk girl both fantasize about running in a green valley and then start to make out and simulate sex. Other example is the scene where the (at the time) survivors go to a chapel and pray for their dead friends! while a maniac is on their hunt. Now that I think, the whole movie is a joke! every scene has some humor , involuntary or not.There are many goofs to laugh about. For example, on the beginning after the supposedly "fatal" car accident, you can see that the Mrs. La Rue's arm is hidden under grass! to produce a visual effect where the audience is supposed to believe that she lost her hand. Also, the killer doesn't seems to be badly burned and even moves without problem; seconds later he appears in the morgue horribly burned. The two main heroines are extremely hot! beautiful, sexy. I really cared for them. That could be a reason to watch the movie. Although there are many reason for not watching it. The killer spends almost 10 minutes of the movie watching black and white movies from Tod Slaughter! Also, the killer looks like a different person on several scenes. First, the make up makes him look like Leatherface, and then like Freddy Krueger (in half of the movie). Well I bet that filming lasted for 3 days. Something to notice about is that the movie's events take place ONLY in the day. There aren't any night scenes, no budget for lightning?! Anyways, I haven't seen that in any other Slasher flick. The movie has no plot. You just see the teens getting killed by the deranged coroner. What really got me about "Doom Asylum" are it's WEIRD dialogues. Check out for lines including Mickey Mantle, Ronald Reagan, the right to choose political preferences, incest, and the weird ending dialogue between the Coroner and his ex lover's daughter. The ending. Oh well, one of the worst in cinema's history. You need to watch it to believe it. I may be out of my mind, but I recommend "Doom Asylum" if you want to laugh about it because all of it's goofs and weirdness. Grab a pack of chips, coca cola, and enjoy this ultra low budget. A hidden gem and almost impossible to find.

i love doom asylum. i enjoy the concept of the abandoned asylum, and the characters remind me of "return of the living dead". even though the blood in the slashing scenes is so thin that i found myself REALLY wondering about their budget, it's fun.it hits almost every slasher stereotype dead on. if it isn't a deliberate horror parody, it can certainly be viewed as such. great friday night viewing.

After being in a freak car accident, the only survivor takes up residency in an abandoned asylum. When a group of teens with nothing better to do check out the place for a lark, they are killed off by its insane inhabitant. So bad, it's just bad. Even at about 77 mins. you can really feel the padding on this one. Lots of footage from other movies is thrown into the mix for no apparent reason and the characters are just about as dumb as they come. Filled with lots of noticeable flaws to boot!Rated R; Sexual Situations, Graphic Violence, and Profanity.
