Assylum of Satan ***

[Scott]

ASSYLUM OF SATAN (1971) is one weird film, which is what  makes it watchable. The characters are so weird and the acting so bad that you may want to check this film out. It was a fun B-Movie. The film actually has some very creepy moments as well. The bugs, snakes, etc. The film has all the indredients of a good bad movie.

One of my top three favorite Girdler films. His 'style' is readily apparent in Asylum, and it sheds light on his approach to filmmaking.

Gender bending, plastic bugs, fire extinguishers ... Carla Borelli. And Nick Jolley -- the anti-sex symbol.

It's my Girdler obligation to point out the following:


Extended Asylum Summary: Lots of trivia info about Asylum at the end.

Grip of Satan Interview:  The most exhaustive interview about Asylum ever conducted.

There's a lot of other information on Asylum scattered on the site ... like I said, it's one of my favorite Girdler pictures.
