Madhouse (2004)

Madhouse: Directed by William Butler. With Joshua Leonard, Jordan Ladd, Natasha Lyonne, Lance Henriksen. A young psychiatric intern unearths secrets about the mental health facility in which he works.

“The horror/thriller is about a rookie intern who checks into a mental health facility and discovers its darkest secrets as well as his own ones. Excellent sound effects, above average photography and smart script filled with plenty of shock moments make this film real fun to watch for fans of this genre. Joshua Leonard, a veteran in such films, acts quite well as the lead character.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut there are loopholes in the plot. One can clearly see them after a single viewing. The ending is catchy, but utterly unnecessary. Jordan Ladd hardly looks like any medical personnel. But most of all, the actions of the patients are very much exaggerated and overtly dramatic. Apart from these points, u0026#39;Madhouseu0026#39; is worth renting, because the u0026#39;thrillu0026#39; element is in right proportions in the film.”
