Bedlam

While some of the After Dark Horrorfest franchise and their AD originals have had some clunkers most have been above par for the usual overflow of horrendous horror movies flooding streaming sites and the internet. This entry, one of several involving an insane asylum, is not particularly scary but sets out to do what I believe it intended to do. This was more in the shock and torture category. Quite gory at times. Also not straying too far from the truth of what actually occurred in asylums of years past. The abuse, archaic medical/psychiatric treatment and overall barbaric conditions the patients suffered through. While some actors were stiff in their roles others played their parts very well. I never found it boring or disappointed in any way. If you like horror movies set in asylums and/ or the shock and torture type give This movie a shot. There also is some rather amusing "commercials " edited into the film.
