\"\"<\/a>Madhouse<\/em><\/strong> maybe has a modest following, but being this my first viewing, I found it awfully tedious with little to no thrills not to mention no scares whatsoever, and add in some below average performances, even by 1980s slasher standards, it makes for just a bad movie.<\/p>\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Julia (TRISH EVERLY), a young teacher for deaf children living in Savannah, Georgia. Julia has horrid memories of her childhood, which was scarred by her sadistic twin sister Mary (ALLISON BIGGERS). At the urging of her uncle, Father James (DENNIS ROBERTSON), Julia visits Mary, suffering from a severe skin disease, in a mental institution. The meet does not go well, and Mary vows to make Julia \u201csuffer as she had suffered\u201d. As their mutual birthday approaches, several of Julia\u2019s friends and neighbors begin to die gruesome deaths, some of which committed by a mysterious Rottweiler dog that has some sort of connection to Mary. But is Mary really the\u00a0killer?<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review:<\/strong> No doubt this movie has a following, but my first viewing of this 1980s-era horror film an Italian production shot in Georgia, might have an interesting premise but falters with tedious scenes that seem to go on forever, some shoddy performances, even shoddier practical effects (even by low budget standards) and scares that are non-existent. Some of the gore scenes involving the Rottweiler were decent but not enough to save it until the ridiculous finale.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
