I remembered this one from my my teens (where I watched as many horrors as I could get hold of). It had an Italian feel to it, and as the Italian horrors were my favourites, I rented it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was only remembered today for the rather gross dog head drilling scene (which I got through by being convinced it wasn't a real dog, but a very cardboardy fake). Though I would have thought the scene during the opening credits was pretty memorable, gore-wise, also.
I must warn anyone about to buy this DVD of (a) that dog scene - if you like your horror to only involve humans, or if it has animals, to not be graphic at all, to gloss it, this will seriously offend/upset you, and (b) the sound quality of this DVD version is really, REALLY bad. I was turning the sound up and down the whole way through. The characters were either whispering, drowned by the music, or screeching loudly - not in actuality, but because of the very dodgy sound transfer. (If anyone has been similiarly irritated by the 'Suspiria' DVD, where the music drowns the conversation in many places, you'll know the sort of problem I mean.)
Apart from that, I thought this wasn't too bad - worth a look if you like 70's/80's horror (before all the ironic self aware stuff that passes today), and especially any horrors made with Italian crews.

"Madhouse" is one of the better films that was previously on the "banned" list of so-called video nasties in the UK. It didn't really deserve it's place on the list, but it's easy to spot the scene that probably put it there. Built around a slasher/crazed relative plot, the film stands above it's rivals due to some really good cinematography. The story tells of a young teacher named Julia (Trish Everly) who has lived under the shadow of her abusive sister Mary since childhood. Her adult life has been relatively peaceful until news reaches her that Mary is suffering from a disfiguring disease and wants to see her. Julia's visit to the hospital is one among several scenes that stayed in my mind. As she walks through the ward, the atmosphere is quite dreamlike, with the room seeming like a huge white theatre, festooned in curtains. Mary makes for a rather belligerent and ungrateful patient however, and Julia's life is turned upside down by this encounter with her cruel sibling, and in the days following the visit, people around her start dying.
The film is enjoyable and capable of sustaining interest throughout it's running time. Trish Everly makes a very likeable heroine, and a lot of trouble is taken to gain the viewers sympathies for her, especially in the early scenes set in the school for deaf children where she works. She's rather timid, but armed with a fairly good script, she makes for an appealing heroine. Another good character is the fiesty girl friend who agrees to sleep over in Julia's apartment when events start to take a more sinister turn.

Very atmospheric, creepy and morbid slasher film. Made by Italian director/writer/producer Ovidio G. Assonitis (Beyond The Door, Tentacles) in America, Madhouse is as stylish as any Italian horror film, but doesn't suffer from post dubbing. The gore is pretty good and very brutal. The score is great and the film is easily amongst classiest Video Nasties. One of my all time favourite 80s horrors.

FILM 2000:very poor and a bit dodgy
The most widely reviewed release of Madhouse is the Film 2000 version. It has poor sound, a fuzzy picture and freezes in places. It is almost certainly the main reason for the film's current low standing and is best avoided.

DARK SKY FILMS: good
Dark Sky's region (1)release is actually very good. The sound is vastly improved and the picture has an aspect ratio of 2.35:1. This is the version to buy and it is not that expensive. It even has a bonus interview with Assonitis and stills gallery.
