I’ve seen worse from Asylum. This one had a decent story, and eerily (since this was from 2013) had characters talking about the virus as a global pandemic, and the big one back in 1917/18.

The producers were able to get several pretty well-known actors, which surprised me. All in all, it wasn’t terrible. The beasts kind of reminded me of the ones in The Killer Shrews from back in the day.

This was fun! Once again Marvel brings the quality—-the acting, the sets, effects, and music all meld to create what appears to be a topnotch-can’t-miss. Very engaging; I’ll be following this one.

Now THAT was a really creative episode! Very imaginative. There are some very clever writers behind this series:-D

Lots and lots (and lots!) of mayhem here. I love Adkins in everything, and he had a different kind of role in this film from his usual one(s). He’s still badass, though;-) There’s a closing-credits epilogue to watch for.

I loved this back in the day. The other poster is correct, Madsen killed it here. I look forward to a re-watch of the series.

This movie had many positive reviews, but I wasn’t quite feeling it. Others will certainly enjoy it. Lots of expert fighting sequences, but also lots of graphic stuff too. Adkins has a bit part; the main stars are Bauer and Vandenberg.

Sometimes this hilarious show just has me howling. There’s some top-notch writing here, establishing a series-long running backstory we’re following that then connects several witty skits all in each loaded half-hour. Since it’s on HBO, the language is often quite adult, seriously funny, and very true to life.

I only wish the great Amber Ruffin was in with this group too, as she has the comedic chops for it but is saddled with what I feel is a sometimes (but not always) tepid offering on Peacock. Ruffin would be great with Thede’s bunch.

Liked it! Lots of humorous lines in the film, especially in Adkins’s running narrative. He’s an excellent actor, and of course a phenomenal martial artist, and he’s selected highly skilled, dynamic costars to make this one of his best IMO. I have a real treat ahead, as I have his Boyka movies in my watchlist. Popcorn ready!

This is one from the 90s I’ve never seen before, and it’s quite good. The story takes place in West Virginia, a locale we don’t often see in films. Some powerhouse performances here IMO, and the musical score was lovely to listen to…lots of strings. I thought this was a surprisingly good watch.

only ‘one of the few’? (chuckling)I feel that way for most of them. Seriously though, do you have any recommendations for Lifetimish thrillers/mysteries/suspense where ya don’t want to slap them all?

This is one of a few Lifetime movies I’ve watched in which I’d like to line up nearly every single character and slap them repeatedly until they pass out. Particularly one of them, and if you watch this, I’ll bet you can guess who I’m referring to. Ugh.

These two make a quirky team, and experience a LOT of trouble in their line of business. So far there are two movies in the franchise; I wonder if they’re considering making more.

I liked this finale. Sets things up for a fascinating turn of events next season. The show has become one of my faves, due to Latifah, her team, and the cop who is trying hard to find himself. Well done.

I liked that it was difficult to suss out a villain early on in this one. Also, the movie was filmed in Oklahoma, not the usual Los Angeles or Vancouver setting.

Well I guess I’m forever hopeless too and I love it!!! We must automatically be in this invisible club for eternity (LOL)

Ooey gooey Asylum dreadful deliciousness!

“They’re coming to take me away haha hoho heehee!!!…to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time.” :-D

Me too, Ygraine! High five?

It’s a very dark comedy of sorts. Reminds me of something they’d do on “Into the Dark”—and IMO this film would have been stronger if they had kept the runtime to maybe 60 minutes instead of expanding it to an hour and a half.

A sequel to another recent movie (“Deceived by my Mother-in-Law”). Looks like they are aiming to make a franchise with this character, just as they’ve done with Eric Roberts’ fun “Dr. Beck” series. In fact, Roberts has a small part in this film, not as Beck but as a different doctor. And Hillis once more gets to go shirtless, which is always very nice;-)

Townsend sure can run his mouth. 🙄

A strange little low-budget picture. Not sure if others will like it, but I watched to the end, mostly out of curiosity. Watch for yourself and decide what you make of it

One particular plot point/twist fooled me - and that’s kind of unusual for a Lifetime thriller, so good on ‘em. Pretty interesting watch IMO.

I see some of the same names here in the opening credits that were in the previous craziness I watched just now (“Apex Predator”) so I’m guessing maybe the same outfit made these…?

I go bravely forward - we who are about to die (viewing this insanity) salute you! I’m going in; if my brain rots, this is definitely why. 😉

I knew better, but I watched this anyway. 😝 Very short runtime, non-actors all over the place, and side characters there for little to no reason all make for a really schlocky outing. Intentional though, I think. Someone please explain the conclusion to me.

Not great. Too many of the (usual) foolish choices propelling the plot along. Watchable if you’re bored, I guess.

So very convoluted now! Not even fun….

Ridiculous character, total waste of space and precious time on “the Keen’s eye view.”

So…a sequel will be forthcoming…? I guess?

I really like Latifah in this role. She sells it as the caring, concerned helper of the helpless, who brings her very special expertise to the streets to do good things. Her team is as skilled as she is, and their dialogue is well written and is fun to follow. Good show to look forward to each week.

I was warned, but I watched it anyway. Yikes!

Yep Asylum brings the loony fun once more:)

LOVE this crazy Dr. Beck franchise!! Eric Roberts is at his scene-chewing best, never taking it too seriously. So much fun! 😁

What a good episode and gut wrenching too and I can relate too. What happens to us as children can shape us into the adults we become. Some follow the same path that of their parent(s) or they go in a different direction. I, along with my brother chose a different path and are fighters and stronger adults.

My kinda craptacular:) Oh yeah I gotta watch this nutsiness lol

…and today’s Devious Lifetime Bitch Award goes to….

Another movie I’ve watched recently That makes some sense along the way, until the unnecessarily odd ending. Plot exposition drags a lot in the middle.

Great chilling story; leaves you thinking long after.

Meredith Thomas does top-notch Lifetime movie nuts. :-)

I could make sense of the entire story, until that ending.

So happy to see this is back!!

“…and that’s the bottom line, because Stone Cold said so!!!”

There’s no reason to compare this (“nothing of that caliber”) to the four somber mysteries you mentioned; it was apparent right away that this wasn’t that sort of show.

This is a cozy — a lighthearted murder mystery, like Midsomer Murders, New Tricks, Brokenwood, etc. It’s a totally different genre, so this needs to be judged by different criteria.
