Asylum (1972) Rated PG - 1h 28min

When Dr. Martin (Robert Powell) arrives at the Dunsmoor Asylum for the incurably insane, he expects to be interviewed by asylum director Dr. Starr. Instead he is met by Dr. Rutherford (Patrick Magee), who explains that Dr. Starr had suffered a mental breakdown and now is one of the patients. Dr. Rutherford decides that if Martin can deduce which one is really Dr. Starr, then he will be given the position.

Is it Bonnie (Barbara Parkins), whose affair with a married man turns murderous? Is it Bruno (Barry Morse), a hardluck tailor visited by a mysterious stranger (Peter Cushing) with a blueprint and very special fabric for an unusual suit? Is it Barbara (Charlotte Rampling), accused of murdering her brother and her nurse but insisting that her friend Lucy (Britt Ekland) was responsible; Or is it Dr. Byron (Herbert Lom) who claims the ability to transfer his life-force into a mechanical doll?

Directed by Roy Ward Baker (The Vault of Horror) and written by Robert Bloch (Psycho)

Click to read about our staffI'm a huge fan of movies, but horror movies are my all-time favorites. I don't care for those half-baked remakes or gore-fest flicks that try to pass themselves off as horror. For my money nothing beats a good old-fashioned scary movie; and nobody made them better than Amicus.

Amicus Productions was a British film production company during the '60s and '70s, often mistaken for rival Hammer Film Productions, that dominated countless drive-ins and movie theaters with their unique brand of science fiction, thrillers, and horror films. You'll scream with delight as you relive Amicus's heyday with a trio of fright-filled flicks that are featured on the Amicus Collection on DVD!

This 3-disc set includes:
