Madhouse (1974)
6/10
Poor Screenplay and Conclusion
25 July 2019
In Hollywood, the successful actor Paul Toombes (Vincent Price) performs the character Dr. Death in a franchise written by his friend Herbert Flay (Peter Cushing). When his fiancée is murdered the same way one of Dr. Death´s victim, he has a nervous breakdown and is sent to a mental institution. Years later, he is recovered and Herbert invites him to move to London to shoot a TV series with Dr. Death. But the murders of Dr. Death restart and Paul is the Scotland Yard´s prime suspect.

"Madhouse" is an entertaining horror film with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing in the lead role. There is also a tribute to the early career of Vincent Price. However the poor screenplay and conclusion make inconsistent parts of the story and flaws. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Madhouse"
