Interesting facts

Sanitarium is a 2013 horror anthology film that was directed by Bryan Ortiz, Bryan Ramirez, and Kerry Valderrama. It received its world premiere at the Miami International Film Festival on March 1, 2013, and was released to DVD on December 31, 2013.

Production

Valderrama began developing Sanitarium around 2011 and wrote the segments Figuratively Speaking and Up To the Last Man with his writing partner C. M. Bratton. He approached Ramirez and Ortiz with the intention of each of the three directors directing one of the film's stories. Ortiz liked the film's concept, as it reminded him of the 1973 film, Tales That Witness Madness, and the 1980s horror series, Tales from the Crypt.

Valderrama experienced some difficulty while shooting his segment, Up to the Last Man, as the filming location was on "the second story of a warehouse in between a highway and a train station, in July, with no air conditioning." Valderrama also researched doomsday preppers for the segment, as he wanted the actions of James Silo to seem realistic.
