Once there, however, he discovers that the man in charge of the institution is an even bigger lunatic than the patients in his care: he is using the inmates as guinea pigs in dangerous experiments that ultimately turn the poor crazy blighters into cannibalistic killers. I give it 5 out of 10 not Oscar material by a long shot, but not such a terrible way to spend 80 minutes of your life, especially with some friends.Ī young man pretends to be crazy in order to get himself committed to an asylum where he hopes to locate his mentally ill sister. I would recommend watching this after going down the pub/bar for a couple of drinks, then back to a mate's place to watch this at the weekend. The main features include: a doctor having her arm torn off, scalpel to the chin, cleaver to the face, metal spike through the head/mouth, a fair amount of topless female nudity & a couple of cheesy one liners! It won't rock your world by any means, but if you are a fan of this kind of film and you need a bit of escapism (no pun intended), you may find this appealing.
There are the usual huge plot holes such as people who are supposedly insane, suddenly becoming lucid and capable of defending themselves, perfecting motor functions and having sensible conversations (keep the bullets, we'll need them!). The make up is quite well done, considering that most of the meagre budget was probably spent on the two main stars. One of the redeeming qualities of this title was the gore, it has plenty to keep even the most ardent crimson fan happy. I thought it was a watchable film that does show some potential at the start, but about halfway through does unfortunately descend into standard slasher/horror cliché territory. I watched this last night with some friends, who all appreciate gore-fest style films. Title (Brazil): "Insanatório - Quem Entra, Não Sai" ("Insanitarium – Who Gets In, does not Get Out") In the end, despite the stupid story, I found it funny and entertaining for fans of the genre. 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. Jack does not seek the justice, but acts like a crazy man instead. "Insanitarium" has the absurd premise of a sane man that pretends to be lunatic to meet his sister that is institutionalized in an asylum. But Lily and Jack are trapped in the mental institution and there is no way out for them.
Further, the side effect is turning patients and staff into flesh-eating zombies.
Gianetti (Peter Stormare), is a deranged scientist that is using the patients like guinea pigs, forcing them to use the experimental drug Orpheus. Sooner Jack learns that the administrator, Dr. Jack pretends to be insane and is arrested and sent to the same asylum with the intention of rescuing Lily from the place. Jack is in despair since Lily is sent to a mental institution and Jack is not allowed to visit her. The only sister of Jack (Jesse Metcalfe), Lily Romero (Kiele Sanchez), tries to commit suicide after the death of their mother.
