Reviews
Critically, "Dark Asylum" received largely negative to mixed reviews. On IMDb, it holds a relatively low rating of 4.1/10, indicating general audience dissatisfaction. Reviewers often cited the film's slow pacing, underdeveloped characters, and predictable plot as major drawbacks. For instance, some critics noted that the film failed to capitalize on its chilling premise, resulting in a less engaging experience. However, Paulina Porizkova's performance was occasionally highlighted as a redeeming feature, providing some depth amid the generic storyline. On horror-specific review sites, the movie was described as "atmospherically promising but ultimately lacking in scares". Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes do not have aggregated scores for the film, suggesting it flew under the radar of major critics and mainstream audiences. Overall, "Dark Asylum" struggles to stand out in the crowded horror genre but may find modest appeal among fans seeking a simple, low-budget asylum horror flick.
