Rating (out of 5):

     A late night of movie watching and writing.  I absolutely love watching horror movies late at night and I love it even more when it's a movie I've never seen before.  I recently decided to dive into The WXIP - TC Channel 6 Triple Feature from director Dustin Ferguson.  The first two films, Wrong Side of the Tracks and Runaway Nightmare, were solid films which only fueled my excitement for the third film in the collection.

     The film follows a woman who awakens in an asylum with no recollection of how she got there.  The nurses are cold to her at first and then she meets the evil doctor running the place and his sinister intentions with her are revealed.

     I was hoping the charm of the first two films in this set rubbed off on the third but this final installment really misses it's mark.  Honestly, the movie feels incomplete and just tossed in at the last second to make this DVD feel like you are getting more bang for it's buck.  It's worth the price for the first two films but this one should have been left off.  The acting in this is the only constant between this segment and the previous films.  We get that awkward amateurish performances from the cast that really drives home that made for television tone the film is going for.  The story for this one has a solid start to what could be a pretty solid horror film but after the story is introduced it very quickly falters into a chaotic mess.  It is clearly evident that this segment was never properly finished and just added to this at the last minute.  Finally, if you want the red stuff then this collection is not for you.  This film, like the other two, is not a showcase for blood and gore.  Overall, Asylum of the Devil has an interesting premise but fails to follow up with it.  The short just exists with no real purpose.  Skip it.
