    Actually kinda freaky. Not scary like you are all terrified, but the images they show are pretty messed up. Good gore anyway.

    Looking at the modern horror movies i wasn't excpecting much of madhouse. But i was surprised! the mpvie was even worse than i ever imagined. As usual the screenplay makes no sense at all.

The c...( read more)inematpgrapher works ib lights to give the horror atmosphere of the movie but ends up giving it the look of an animated one. And the acting is of course as bad as you want. So looking for a dumb bad horror flick this is the perfect one.

Even the killings and the gore (which at a c...( read more)ertain point became my last hope) dissapointed me.

    36/100

    the story is about the patients in the mental asylum and no doubt the production did a good job they're crazy and scary... an intelligent thriller film that you should watch if you want to be in scared. Overall this is an entertaining movie..

    This isn't the kind of movie that you scream at, it's the one that haunts you for weeks after.
