Asylum films suck, I get it. But it's not like you need high budgets to make something memorable, or even with deeper social commentary.
Thing is the villian could still be terrible, scary, psychotic and have the plot of blowing up the house.
But the brunt of it could be the banks screwing someone over than a family. It was the bank that took his house. The family just moved in. He could harass them, but the brunt of it could be him going after the institution which makes it more nuanced, especially for an asylum movie.
But they didn't do that. THey just had him bother the famly and be crazy. Nothing more.
