C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore May 7, 2019
4/5
Asylum Blackout is an especially effective little horror-thriller that has plenty of psychological terror in store for its viewers. Go to Full Review
Scott Weinberg FEARnet May 8, 2012
3.5/5
Precisely what the title implies, but it does get pretty rough. Go to Full Review
Brent Simon Shockya.com May 5, 2012
B-
A skillfully cobbled together little calling card of a film. If in the end it's a bit short on convincing payoff, its atmospheric spell should generally satisfy genre fans, and also augur good things for most involved. Go to Full Review

2/4

Abraham R Feb 4, 2019 Some movies are so horrendously bad, that I wonder how they got the funding to film it in the first place. This is one of those movies. See more
Finn R Sep 19, 2017 Nothing to write home about cause it's been done before.
Rey W Feb 22, 2017 It's so dark you can barely see what's happening once it starts to go down. *I know it's in a blackout, but still* And I doubt much of Mr. Zahler's script actually made it in. See more
Abraham M Jan 14, 2017 This plot has been done before, yet this one was a little better. The writing was good, the acting was good, and the story interesting. See more
