Honestly though, the college is just not very believable. What kind of college has not a single heavy kid or pimply kid there, the freshman don't even have to move their own stuff into the dorms (huge and nice dorm rooms, I might add), and 6 totally different kids become friends on the first day? Seriously, I would have killed for a shower that nice in my dorm. Well, one without all the creepy stuff happening in it. But let's just call it a movie college and forget that it isn't very likely to happen in real life.
The group is three girls, Madison (Sarah Roemer), Maya (Carolina Garcia), and Ivy (Ellen Hollman), and three guys, String (Cody Kasch), Holt (Jake Muxworthy), and Tommy (Travis Van Winkle). They first find out that they have to contend with Rez (Randall Sims) as their RA. Then they find out that the dorm that they're all moved into has just been renovated, or at least half of it has. The other half is still boarded up, listed as to be completed next year.
Thanks to the world's greatest hacker in the group, the group finds out that the dorm they're living in used to be an asylum. It wasn't just an asylum though. Like every asylum in horror movies, it had a mad doctor in residence there. He apparently experimented on teenagers. Since his death (at the hands of the patients, no less), there have of course been weird things going on there. This group has to figure out how to stop them before they all die. Before they figure it out though, they'll have to contend with their own mental problems.
As far as horror movies go, Asylum is a pretty generic, run-of-the-mill movie. There's nothing really outstanding in it, but there's nothing that's so horrible that it totally sucks either. I would recommend renting it, because I'm sure you've already seen something very similar to it anyway, but I doubt you're going to be dying to see it over and over again.
