I have just finished watching this and struggle to work out exactly what I thought of it.
The first 3/4 of this movie is sooooooooooo slow and dull, I found it very hard to maintain an interest. As with a previous movie, it felt like some of the scenes were actually never going to end. The ending of the movie however does kind of make up for the dragging nature of the rest of the movie.

Madhouse - Wills Review
Right off the bat I'm going to tell you I enjoyed this one. It's a slasher, which puts me on 'home turf' as were, so I may be a little biased, but I really enjoyed it.
Don't get me wrong, it can drag a little in the first two acts, but once things start to unfold... The last 20 mins is more than worth the price of admission; not because of any over the top gore (worst luck) but what it lacks in the red stuff in more than makes up for in batshit insanity!
And it has a really bad glove puppet dog in it too!
The trouble is that the good stuff all happens after a twist at around the hour mark, so if you read any further you're going to have it spoiled.
Go away right now, and don't come back until you've seen the film!
Oh, and make sure it's the one from 1981 - there are about a million (well, 6) completely unrelated films all called "Madhouse".
GO!
