Doom Asylum is a 1987 slasher movie. It was the first film role of Kristin Davis, who later went on to notably portray Charlotte York in the television series and film Sex and the City.
Mitch Hansen and his fiancée Carla are involved in a car wreck. Carla is severely wounded and Mitch pronounced dead. During Hansen's autopsy he wakes up and kills the medical examiners. Ten years later the murderous Hansen still inhabits the asylum.
A group of friends, Dennis, Darnell, Jane, twins Judy and Kiki, Mike, and Tina have a picnic near the asylum where Hansen was institutionalized. Simultaneously a punk band with members, Spike, Talc, Shark and Red, are planning to use the asylum as their band practice space.
lesbians, Rapunzel and Godiva, have sex in the asylum and are killed by Hansen. The band members pick a fight with the picnicking friends. Shark goes off to look for Rapunzel and Godiva while the rest of the band members setup their musical equipment,
During the picnic, Tina and Darnell sneak into the asylum to have sex, but Shark finds them. Tina runs away in embarrassment while Darnell confronts Shark. Hansen kills Shark and chases Darnell through the halls while his screams are drowned out by the music. Hansen finally catches and beheads Darnell.
The picnicking friends become annoyed by the band's punk rock music and walk to the asylum to complain. Tina looks for Darnell and the band members and the friends get into a fistfight, which abruptly stops when Tina finds Darnell and Shark's bodies.
Hansen kills Dennis and Spike and chases the rest of the people deeper into the asylum. Mike sacrifices himself when he, Judy, and Kiki are cornered. Red and Jane try to barricade themselves in a room with Rapunzel and Godiva's bodies. Hansen smashes through the barricade and impales Red with a guitar and electrocutes Jane with a speaker. Judy, Kiki, Tina, and Talc meet up and attempt to escape out a window. Hansen decapitates Tina, slams his axe into Judy's chest, and throws Kiki out the window they were attempting to use to escape.
The movie reveals that Talc's real name is Calvin Hansen and he is Mitch's son. Calvin tells Mitch that Carla is still alive and their family could be reunited if Mitch left the asylum. Mitch ignores Calvin and chases him out of the asylum.
