Spend seven weeks in a London community where the lunatics literally run the asylum as filmmaker Peter Robinson and a sparse skeleton crew check in to the radical Archway Community of controversial psychiatrist R.D. Liang. Operating under the theory that the only way schizophrenic to truly recover is for them to live in an environment where they are free to do as they please but also held accountable for their actions, the Archway Community houses a tribal society of deeply disturbed souls.

One of the best anthology horror films ever made
not as good as monster club, but still quite interesting
Regardless of age, a mediocre movie is still a mediocre movie.
Though it is sometimes over-praised by aficionados of the horror anthology subgenre, Asylum is a fun, old-fashioned taste of post-mod, pre-1980s macabre in British cinema.
Asylum tries telling similar tales (twice) and comes up pathetically short in the scare department.
A great little gothic horror anthology. Track this one down if you can!
A new doctor arrives at an institution for the incurably insane and sets about the task of identifying which of the inmates is the hospital's former administrator. Along the way we're treated to four episodic tales of horror. A mistress who's lover chopped his wife up in separate pieces and stored her in a freezer.

This horror gem seems quaint by today's standards but it's still worth the rental. I love British horror from the early 70s and this one doesn't disappoint. It features several short tales told within the confines of a larger story, in which a doctor must figure out which asylum patient used to be the doctor running
