Summary: A husband picks up a job as a janitor at an insane asylum scheming all the time to be close to and free his wife from the institution where she recently attempted suicide. A score was added when in 1970 the reels were unearthed after they were considered lost for decades. The director approved and subsequently repudiated this version.

Fascinating that the film should have survived for so long under such conditions and still be so watchable. Has it been restored?

I might be alone in this, but I love 1997's "Asylum" starring Robert Patrick and 2010's "Medium Raw: Night of the Wolf".

Will have to watch that soon, looks amazing. More surrealist than horror, but 'Buster's Bedroom' by German artist Rebecca Horn it's a quirky film about a woman obsessed with Buster Keaton going to an asylum where he was treated for alcoholism starring Amanda Ooms and Udo Kier plus a great role for midnight movie queen Mary Woronov. Very hard to find unfortunately but if you get a chance to see it you should.

I love Val Lewton's Bedlam, with Boris Karloff as the sadistic keeper and Anna Lee as Nell Bowen. It's very well made (of course) and I always like spotting Elizabeth Russell, who was the woman saying "Sister...sister..." in Cat People, in other roles.
