Another stellar week for horror releases, quite a feat considering there is only one theatrical release in the bunch and it is likely the worst out of all of them. That said, I have not seen Asylum, Insanitarium, Steel Trap, or Trapped Ashes but "Shutter" was very mediocre. Not a terrible movie, just kind of blah. At least it was better than "The Eye," I'll give it that much. It is also worth noting that two of the horror releases are about insane asylum/insanitariums. There really haven't been all that many horror films of note about that topic ("The House on Haunted Hill" remake and sequel come to mind, along with "Madhouse" but that's about it) so to have two in the same week is very rare. I definitely plan on checking both out.
