Overall rating: 2 out of 5

Once a respected mental health facility, Cunningham Hall is now a decaying relic with too many patients and too few dollars, but when an eager young medical student named Clark Stevens accepts an internship in the asylum to finish his degree, he soon finds himself reporting for duty in a MADHOUSE. Clark also meets Sara, a lovely young nurse who gives him a tour of the facility, including the dreaded basement, AKA The Madhouse. Clark soon grows concerned with the condition of the patients, including Alice's horrifying hallucinations and Carl's suicidal tendencies. But Clark begins to question his own sanity when he sees the haunting figure of a young boy, who appears to be trying to warn him. Clark turns to Sara for help, and becomes increasingly attracted to her, but finds that even she has something to hide.

Most helpful review Madhouse

Not great but not that bad

By KChawgo from London , 04 Jan 2005

[Highly rated reviewer]

Leonard (Blair Witch Project) is a training psychiatrist who does his internship in a mental institution which is not what it seems.

The film is interesting in its delivery and approach and the gore is quite high for a 15 film and quite well done. There are a few surprises and the film does not take an easy way out which is quite nice to see in a film of this ilk.

If you’re a horror fan then you may find this enjoyable. It is not great but it has its moments.

Predictable

By jonny (210 reviews) from Norwich , 22 Nov 2009

Predictable and reasonably dull for something that has lots going on. When's Lance Hendrickson going to get back into the Aliens/Terminator/Milennium vibe?

Just Less than Adequate

By a customer from England , 11 Nov 2006

In the scheme of things, the film was not bad per se. The premise was intruiging but the acting was below par and there were too many cliche horror movie moments. However, it does make you think a little unlike some of your standard gorefests.
