Where the cure is worse than the affliction.
About this list
The asylum is horror's perfect trap: a place built to contain madness that instead concentrates it, where the people in charge may be sicker than the patients they've locked away. From crumbling Victorian sanitariums to clinical modern wards, the genre has long used these corridors to ask who really belongs behind the door. This is a list for films set inside the psychiatric hospital, where the line between patient, doctor, and monster dissolves.
