Definitely one of the cheesiest films of all-time. If the film was funny or had lots of nudity, then I’d be alright with the film. The film is just boring and the cheesy parts don’t excite me and sure won’t excite you! The Devil looks more like a creature ion a Godzilla movie and besides, have you ever thought if the devil did appear, he’d be about 5 feet 2 inches? And have you ever heard the word “Trapezoid” used in normal conversation, let along in the film’s storyline?

The answer to all of those questions is "Shut up and watch," apparently. Nothing in Aslyum of Satan parses. Losing that grounding in a consistent reality robs the film of its ability to scare us outright. However, the same lack of internal logic does boomerang back on the film and infuses it with an oddball creepiness. If we never know whose rules we're playing by, then what new deviation from the norm can we expect to crawl our way?

...

So, back to my inital question: if a horror director fails to tell a coherent narrative -- which is obviously his intent on some level -- but still manages to create a semblance of unease, can he be considered a success, if only a minor one? Should we consider the film on the same scale as deliberately avant garde works such as Eraserhead or Dante Tomaselli's Horror, or should we rate it against other schlock?

Oh , I'll have a piece of this cake allright ...
