The 11 Best Insane Asylum Movies, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Insane asylums are undoubtedly among the eeriest places on Earth. Murderous psychopaths, cruel wardens, and dead hopes rest within their walls... It's no wonder mental hospitals have a bad reputation. The term 'asylum' immediately brings to mind ghoulish images of Victorian prison cells, tortured patients, and repressed frustrations. What better setting for thriller and horror movies? Of course, none of that's true of today's psychiatric wards, but a bit of imagination can make for some tantalizing thrills. And apart from the horror potential, insane asylums can also spawn colorful characters whom we'd never meet in normal, everyday settings. From cult classic films to coming-of-age movies, here are the best insane asylum movies set in mental hospitals that make the best use of their settings and characters." - whatnerd.com
