Review of Madhouse

Madhouse (1974)
6/10
Madhouse (1974) **1/2
1 September 2004
It's always a treat to have Vincent Price and Peter Cushing together in the same horror show, and there's even Robert (Count Yorga) Quarry thrown in the mix for good measure. Other than that novelty, there isn't anything terribly fresh or fantastic about the movie. It's quite reminiscent of things we've seen before, especially from Price. MADHOUSE unspools like a mystery, but the killer's identity isn't very hard to figure out. Still, it's fun to see Vincent in his maniacal makeup as "Dr. Death," and there are a number of well-staged death scenes to savor along the way. Not bad, though it's nothing fabulous either.
