PARANORMAL ASYLUM is a straight-to-video found footage horror flick made on a tiny budget. It doesn't have much sense and plays out just like every other example of the genre that you can think of. A couple of aspiring student filmmakers investigate the legend of a local 'Typhoid Mary' and soon find themselves pursued by her spirit in numerous cheesy scenes. This has a glossy look and feel to it which doesn't really match with the stilted performances and dreadful CGI effects. It's not the kind of film that you can get excited about.

Mark (Aaron Mathias) and Andy (Nathan Spiteri) decide to investigate a ghost named Typhoid Mary who was once a patient at a mental hospital. They appear to be conducting paranormal investigation, but also a documentary. Andy's girlfriend Michelle (Laura Gilreath) invites herself into the investigation.

The film is NOT a found footage film as most of the movie is professionally done. The first ghost appears 6 minutes into the film and there is no lack of apparitions. The acting of the three main characters was decent, but when you get past that it falls off a cliff with Grace Evans being a laugh.

The plot develops complexity with an ending that could have used a little more developing.

Worth a rental if you are at a lost for a horror film.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs, near sex. No nudity. Laura Gilreath in bra/panties.

Firstly, I will applaud that this film does have a great idea behind it, being based on a fact, but it wasn't executed in the best way. Other then the no scares at all, it was a very timid horror/ghost film, I've ever seen, which I did not expect from the title: Paranormal Asylum.

The film's quite obviously made on a budget, with obviously poorly done graphics, and special effects which makes the film scream fake. The storyline had so many holes in it, and was not fluent.

All in all, if I could I would not rate this film anything, surprised it's been given like 2 stars. It's not worth watching or taking the time out of your day to watch.

However if you do decide to watch the film, you have been warned! @RebeccaKLxo
