Do you like urban exploring? Do you like abandoned asylums? Well if so, you are in luck because Night Explorers: The Asylum is just for you and provides a decent summertime popcorn flick perfect for streaming at home on a quiet, boring night. Written and directed by John K. Webster (A Haunted History series), and released on July 25, 2023 through Level 33 Entertainment, the film is your typical fare in urban exploration flicks.
Featuring production from DJonny Chen, Leigh Cattermole, as well as Ausman Khan, the film also features a cast that includes Hannah Al Rashid, Craig Edwards, and Charlie Rich. Among a slew of similar settings in the Horror world, Night Explorers: The Asylum is hardly any bit original competing with the likes of 2018’s Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum or 2008’s The Strangers. That in mind, this flick follows a group of YouTubers trying to get their tired trope of the ‘one last big score and we never have to do this again.
Don’t let these clichés sway your decision not to give Night Explorers: The Asylum a standing chance. As noted, there is still much to be seen plus… old haunted and abandoned asylums and hospitals will never get old! The film follows a group of two separate exploration teams who go into what is considered one of the most haunted asylums in the world. Adding more intrigue, this will be their last chance to uncover its mysteries before it is destroyed for their chance at urban exploration fame and fortune.
If you are already familiar with urban exploration and ghost-hunting television shows/streamers, you will feel right at home with all the gadgets and tricks used to try and capture those ever-elusive spirits either on audio or video recording. However, naturally things are not always what they seem. A decent mix of jump scares plus twists and turns, you follow these two groups of explorers as they discover the old secrets this ancient building hides which include patient abuse, and of course, satanic rituals.
Overall, Night Explorers: The Asylum is a solid, fun watch not to be taken too seriously. So, do you dare watch to find what secrets the walls of this old asylum hide? Furthermore, do you think Could you survive a night in the world’s most haunted asylum? Give this a watch and find out! For production value, acting, and an engaging pace that will keep you following along, Cryptic Rock gives Night Explorers: The Asylum 2.5 out of 5 stars.
