Amazingly Boring.

Rating: 5/10 (26 September 2010)

I was seriously excited for this film. I like Martin Scorsese alright, and it looked genuinely creepy. However, this film suffers from being too boring and predictable. I don't want to spoil anything, but I guessed the ending before I even saw the movie. I wasn't expecting such an underwhelming and utterly unsurprising ending with a Scorsese picture. Now, the visuals in this film are downright beautiful, with certain images that will stay in your head for quite some time. It's hard not to have good cinematography when your film takes place in an Asylum, because it is IMPOSSIBLE to make mental institutions look boring. Not terrible, but not the best thing in the world either.
