"From Jay Woelfel the director of the classic Beyond Dreams Door comes this fun as hell body hopping psychedelic mind fuck. He sure has a great cinematic eye. Tim Thomerson is a detective that grows huge testicles and we get Richard Hatch and Tiffany Shepis too so this is kinda of a must watch. So many extras too it's unbelievable. Great release."
"Wild Eye Releasing is on of my new favorite Partner Labels to release b-horror the Vinegar Syndrome website. Asylum of Darkness is a great practical effects horror movie that will please anyone into this genre. Packaging and presentation are excellent!"
"Enjoyed this film def worth adding to the collection"
"I came here for Tiffany Shelia, and stayed for the cheesy fun romp. Highly enjoyable."
"Love the slipcover and this movie is long and very all over the place at times but has insanely gnarly effects and the quality of the acting is pretty dodgy but it gives the movie and really weird off feeling and it works"
"A movie that occasionally creates a few effective moments, but for the most part it's obsessed with just being as obtuse as possible with little rhyme or reason for it, and runs far too long with its amount of no substance for its own good."
"Extra star for shot on film and Tim Thomerson, but already having trouble remembering it. Nice slipcover, extras and technical merits; it’s really as good a release as this film could hope for. Recommended for fans of independent horror who are a little forgiving."
"Another one I hadn't heard of but andalways had sweet slipcover and extras! Always makes my day to get a VS package!"
"A couple of people interviewed on the extras admit that they don't entirely understand the film and I get it. Not sure I do either. I liked it though. Definitely a unique concept and great if you like body switching, paintings controlling the future, weird makeup, which characters are real or ghosts or whatever kinds of things. A mixed bag if I'm honest. But what brings this up to 5 stars is the Tim Thomerson interview. This is a must purchase for fans of him since it contains a 90 minute + interview with him discussing his whole career. (Somehow never getting to my TT introduction and much loved film from childhood, The Wrong Guys. ) The always welcome Tiffany Shepis is another great reason to buy. Not a huge role, but she's great in it."
"Another pretty good movie made watchable again with restoration. Kooky but I loved it."
