Plus it gave us this gem that has lived rent-free in my head for the last 20-something years.

The first time I watched this, I didn't fully understand what was happening but it definitely stuck around in the back of my head all these years. I think I found it on a horror movie list this past Halloween and knew I had to watch it again.
It's slow and unsettling the entire way through. At times it was hard to tell what was worse, the horror or the asbestos. It was definitely worth the re-watch after all those years.
I remember one of the folks who made this movie saying that it was written with this particular asylum in mind, but they didn’t expect to get permission to shoot there. They were stunned, and ecstatic, when they actually did!
I watched this on Showcase.....20? years ago. It fucked little Sturgs up a bit.
10/10 would trauma again.
I was going to post on this today! Wife found it on my JellyFin server, had no idea what it was, watched it last night. Wild ride!
Recently re-watched it, a great movie, one of those hidden gems of horror.
