AR-0056: Ubiquitous 1990s DTV [direct-to-video] label Full Moon Pictures hit a noticeable slump once the 2000s arrived, so much so the studio's quality took a nosedive. In this particular example we have one of those "supernatural hitsa taking place during the making of a reality show" plots that were briefly popular on the B-movie market back then [oh, the horror!], with a shifty TV reality show showrunner mounting some crap precursor to the real-life "Fear Factor" but with the intention of rigging it so his girlfriend whom he recruited as a contestant will win the cash moolah prize, only to be unaware that the local abandoned asylum with a nasty reputation he chose as the locale for this asinine show is indeed haunted...
A pretty stupid movie typical of early-2000s el cheapo shot-on-a-camcorder jank that was VERY common back then, with an eye to be marketed to the teenagers and young adults of the day [essentially my generation] and while "Hell Asylum" doesn't have any nudity to speak of, it does have some seriously half-@ssed gore effects that look like the director decided to take the cheapest off-cuts he could get from his trip to the local butcher's...

My Grade: D [Bad]
