All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Madhouse (1974)

Starring: Vincent Price, Peter Cushing
Director: Jim Clark

Premise:
At the height of his career, a horror movie star suffers a mental breakdown when his fiancee is murdered. Years later he is talked back into the role and murders start up again.

My Take:
I like just about any movie with Vincent Price. This flick has a good story and top acting from some of the genre's best. Plus iconic makeup.

Rating: In the middle (but in a very good way)
