Madhouse Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
jadflack-22130 Truly weird and quite nightmarish and at times disturbing film.There are a lot of holes in the plot, like who in their right mind would decide to work in a Mental hospital like the one portrayed here?You wouldn't last five minutes in it. Is it all a dream or just inside the mind of an insane murderer? Film sort of answers that question.Interesting,fascinating but uneven.
silverbillings Okay I checked the spoiler button, and I truly truly mean I'm going to be writing spoilers, like the entire ending out because I am having such horrible issues with the way they ended it.I watched this movie the way I watch every other movie, camped out in the middle of the night in my dark living room, sitting in my rocking chair just a few feet away from the flat screen TV so I can hear it but not disturb my sleeping housemates. As a horror fanatic I critique horror movies very close-knit, much more strictly then I would any other genre. The movie was very easy to follow along with, and despite the initial aggravation I had with the psychiatric hospital (I've spent well over my share of time in psych hospitals, and they are NOT as "crazy", "misguided", and "dark" as this one) I thought that the set up of the movie was pretty good. It was an obvious call that when Clark started talking to the mysterious prisoner in the bottom of the psych ward that there wasn't really a prisoner there. And if the mystery of him not coming out into the light didn't give you enough hints then the voice echoing in a paranormal way should have. The little boy running around the psych ward that he kept seeing was dressed in rather old fashioned clothing, which had me suspecting that it was either Clark as a child or the run-away psych patient as a child - I guess either way I was right(?). But I guess I should stop rambling and get on to the ending, the letter that said Clark had died and the file that said that he was suffering with MPD. First of all, Multiple Personality Disorder was re-diagnosed as Dissociative Identity Disorder in 1994, however it's not clear just how old Ben is, but my guess would be that at the time of his diagnosis they would have filed it as DID instead of MPD. Ben's inability to recognize Clark as a person, or even as a personality, is very common with DID patients, however he had said things throughout the movie - especially at the end of the movie while with Sara in the bottom of the hospital - that would suggest he HAD in fact recognized Clark as a real person. And it's obvious that Clark knew who Ben was, which is usually a mutual thing with DID patients, either all personalities know about each other or none of them do. This small detail really made the ending of the movie hard for me to find believable and probably ruined the entire movie for me. However I rated the movie 6/10 for the beginning of the movie, their way to pull you into the film.
allenpoe17 Right Out I Give It A 25 Out Of 10 I LOVED IT!, I Have Read Other Reviews On Here, And They Are Crap, They Say The Movie Had Loopholes In The Plot, Well What Were These Mysterious Plot holes!? They Don't Tell Us, And The Acting Of The Crazy People Was Overacted, I Thought It Was Perfect For How Crazy People Act It Was Genius, And Then Apparently According To One Reviewer The Ending Was Unncessary, Your Just Mad You Didn't Guess It, You Blowhard. And Lets Not Forget The The Actors Were To Good For There Roles, Yes Lets Find A lot Of People Who Cant Act And Cannot Play A Nurse Or A Head Doctor, Fantastic Idea! The Damned Fools, I Strongly Stand By It Was Well Written, BEAUTIFULLY Well Shot, The Opening Was Creepy As HELL!, I Loved All The Actors, They Played There Parts Perfectly, Every Dollar On The Budget Was Used To Perfection, Watch And Enjoy
Lord_Strhad Maybe is just me. The movie seems fine 90% of it. Great suspense, fine photography (for an horror film), nice deaths not too gory, some classic horror clichés, obligated sex scene, and turn of events. But the end is disappointing. No, it is not unavailable (well, it is to me) but still seems forced, like the producer said "Oh no, we are out of money.¡Caesar, invent something and finish the movie right now!" Any way, it is a fine movie for a weekend. The actors seems fine, but nothing exceptional. Even Lance Henriksen looks a little bored trough the story. I believe the director could work a little more in his subplot.
