When called to an insane asylum for a job interview Dr. Martin has no idea exactly what sort of strange procedure he will have to go through to secure the job. For this job Dr.Martin will have to do a practical hands on interview where he must talk to all the patients in the asylum and pick out which one is the Doctor who originally offered him the job who has recently gone from Doctor to patient himself.

Asylum is another great anthology from Amicus telling four different tales from the perspective of four of the patients of the asylum each one leaves you questioning the very sanity of the storyteller and has you questioning if the person belongs in the hospital or have these horrific things been done to them rather than by them.

"Frozen Fear" Tells the tale of a man who will do anything to escape his marriage which has gone stale and elope with his mistress but his wife has plenty of money and walking away wont get him and of her money so he comes up with a more gruesome plan which backfire in a very bizarre but fantastic way.

The "The Weird Tailor" is a tale of a tailor whose business is struggling and he cannot afford the rent. When is landlord gives him is final extension he has only a few days to pay of his debt or he will lose his home and business. Shorty after he is offered a very strange job where he must tailor a suit from a very unusual material but only during the night at some very odd hours and he must not start a second before or work a second longer. But when the suit is finished things only get stranger from there on.

"Lucy Comes To Stay" Lucy returns home from a mental institute but it seems like her brother is doing everything in his power to make sure she is not cured and when her troublesome friend starts showing up to the her everything turns to chaos pretty soon as then plan to escape her brother and runaway together.

"Mannikens of Horror" this is the story that binds them altogether where the last patient is making dolls and putting parts of himself inside them in order to escape the prison of a hospital.

Each story is short and sweet and never overstays its welcome and they are all very interesting and engaging. They all come together nicely ending with a great little twist to finish it off.

Well i wouldn't of gotten the job because i couldn't of picked out which one was the Doctor

7/10
