When a group of horny teens wind up on the grounds of a creepy abandoned asylum, they think they’ve found the perfect place to party. Little do they know that inside the building’s crumbling walls lurks a freakishly deformed maniac, driven to madness by the tragic loss of his fiancée in a car accident. With an array of grisly surgical tools at his disposal, it’s only a matter of time before the youngsters begin meeting various splattery ends at the hands of the ghoulish Coroner. (Arrow Films)

The dilapidated titular asylum, a group of sexy teens and Dr. Phibes in an ultra-B-movie rubber mask, who spends the day cutting up the kids in cunningly gory ways (with a drill, angle grinder, wire cutters, acid and so on). All interspersed with watching old black-and-white movies on TV. A cheap synth soundtrack, recitation of unbelievable dialogue by non-actors, one WTF scene after another. Doom Asylum is a guilty pleasure for the most hardened viewer. The hellish experience of watching it doesn’t give off even a whiff of filmmaking standards or anything else to suggest that its creators knew how to make movies.
