Watch Doom Asylum

Doom Asylum is a classic horror-comedy film from 1987, directed by Richard Friedman and written by Rick Marx. The movie begins with a group of college students playing pranks on each other, which leads to a fatal car accident. One of the students, Jane, survives and is taken to a nearby hospital, where she is declared dead by the doctors.

However, Jane's body is taken to a deranged and abandoned asylum, where a mad doctor named Dr. Howell performs experiments on her, bringing her back to life as a monstrous creature. To make matters worse, the asylum is also home to a serial killer called The Phantom, who targets anyone who steps into his territory.

Meanwhile, a group of campers arrives and stumbles upon the asylum, unaware of the dangers that lie inside. They are soon met by The Phantom, as well as Jane, who is now a bloodthirsty monster. The campers must fight for their lives against the two villains, and ultimately try to escape the asylum before it's too late.

The movie is full of over-the-top gore, slapstick humor, and cheesy special effects that add to its campy charm. The performances of the cast are also noteworthy, particularly Patty Mullen in her role as the monstrous Jane. With her exaggerated expressions, her performance is both unnerving and comical.

Ruth Collins also delivers a memorable performance as The Phantom, whose creepy makeup and costume design add to the overall horror of the film. Kristin Davis, who later became famous for her role in Sex and the City, also appears in the movie in one of her earliest roles.

The story itself may not be particularly groundbreaking, but Doom Asylum is an entertaining and fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a perfect example of a cult classic that has gained a cult following over the years.

Overall, Doom Asylum is a must-watch for horror-comedy fans and anyone who enjoys classic '80s-style horror films. It's a fun, campy ride that will leave you laughing and cringing at the same time.

Doom Asylum is a 1988 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 17 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
