Firstly, I will applaud that this film does have a great idea behind it, being based on a fact, but it wasn't executed in the best way. Other then the no scares at all, it was a very timid horror/ghost film, I've ever seen, which I did not expect from the title: Paranormal Asylum. The film's quite obviously made on a budget, with obviously poorly done graphics, and special effects which makes the film scream fake. The storyline had so many holes in it, and was not fluent. All in all, if I could I would not rate this film anything, surprised it's been given like 2 stars. It's not worth watching or taking the time out of your day to watch. However if you do decide to watch the film, you have been warned! @RebeccaKLxo

If you like watching movies like Grave encounters and come across this movie, DON'T WATCH IT!!!!!! It is absolutely one of the worst movies that I have EVER SEEN IN MY FREAKING LIFE!!!!!! The actors are HORRIBLE, the lines are so lame, the filming looks like you are watching freaking "Days of our lives", and there are no parts that I enjoyed. There are no twists in the movie, there is no suspense, and it has absolutely terrible special effects, which especially disappoints me considering the movie was made in 2013,this year, and I would highly recommend that you do not EVER EVER WATCH THIS HORRIBLE MOVIE!!!!!! I am begging you, DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE IT SUCKS SO MUCH!!!

The very first hint that this movie is not up to par is in the summary. The legend of Typhoid Mary is so easy to find any modern seven-year-old could look it up. Early on in the film, they make up a new, special story for Typhoid Mary that has only three points in common with the original story: Typhoid Mary worked as a cook, the approximate time line, and the fact she was an immigrant. I remember learning this story in grade school, so hearing the new and not so improved story was jarring. Then, near the end, they randomly change the time line.The dialog is, at best, awkward, and the characters are uniformly stupid in different ways. The leading male waffles between believing and not believing in ghosts, even in the last few scenes of the movie.The absolute best part of the movie is that it takes the best parts of found footage films and mixes it with asides from a non-shaky-camera perspective. The absolute worst part? It feels disjointed and lacks an element of fear. The scariest scene, aside from the very end, is watching the vegan eat meat.If you like movies based on actual legends, don't watch. If you like films set in asylums, don't watch. If you like ghost stories, watch with caution.

Paranormal investigations have long become a popular and well-respected horror sub-genre, attracting big budget Hollywood, micro budget and even documentary filmmakers alike, and the results ranging from the dead serious to the trashy to the utter spoof - and only the fewest filmmakers seem to get it right. Enter PARANORMAL ASYLUM: THE REVENGE OF TYPHOID MARY: Neither is it a big and pointless special effects fest à la big budget Hollywood, nor yet another crappy "found footage" exercise (even if the movie's story might suggest just that), but telling a proper, engaging story with plenty of interesting and unexpected plot twists, carried by fleshed-out characters and atmospheric images - and you simply can't ignore the perfectly creepy locations, either ...
