Minds of Terror (2003)

Three college students head out into the country to investigate the abandoned Stone Ridge Hospital, which used to be an insane asylum.  On the way their car breaks down and they end up stuck at the asylum where they discover someone has been living there since it closed.

Jeffrey Vandoren claims to be a former staff member, but that is called into question when one of the students finds a hospital file on him.  The students split up to investigate the hospital and start seeing things which may or may not be real.  
In the middle of all this, Jeffrey tells a story about being in a car crash and wandering into a farm house owned by Joe Estevez.  This goes on for so long that you start to forget that this was originally a story about investigating the old hospital for the school paper.

More confusion follows as Jeffrey is way too belligerent to the farmer who has graciously helped him after his head wound.  Probably the best way to sum it up is by this line from the film, "I'd think it was funny if my head didn't hurt so much."
