Let just say that this movie should not be considered your "flashy" type of horror movie. This movie is an old-fashioned, perhaps low in budget one (to be blunt) The plot is well, pretty simple and got explained at the end despite leaving some rather confusing questions. The plot seems rather rushed though. The actors were great at their roles (what to expect from Price and Cushing). The scenes were well done and the music was great absolutely. Conclusion, I enjoyed this movie throughout actually. It was a joy to watch. Despite being an old fashioned movie, I believe that this is much better than some contemporary movies these day. Had a charming aesthetic and atmosphere surrounding it but was frightening as well. This movie is not totally a " ten/ten" at the plot but I believe it is definitely worth the watch. A short and nice movie, Hurrah!

I thought this might be a good example of the great classic Vincent Price horror movie. Given the fact that Peter Cushing was also in it, I was definitely on board. The two do great jobs, but it was just a bad story. The direction was good at parts, for some I had to wonder what the director was thinking. It's as if he made the movie for grade-schoolers. It's full of plot holes, convenient occurrences and things people would never do. The ending was uninspired and predictable, but also confusing. At the end of the day, I can't recommend this movie - even with the great actors in it.I'm only giving it 6/10 out of respect for Price. Otherwise it would be lower.

Madhouse with Vincent Price was actually pretty good. There were some moments where I think the story went dry but everything else was OK. The acting was good, the sets were cool looking, and the eerie music just had me on edge for the most part of the movie. But lets add something else awesome to the pot, Peter Cushing! What can I say about Cushing, he's a terrific actor. From his roles as Van Helsing in Dracula to Grand Moff Tarkin in Star Wars. Now take that and add Vincent Price and what do you get, the greatest acting duo in a movie. Despite some mediocre moments, the movie was well worth it. I got this movie in the Vince Price 5 movie pack and that's saying something. Its an average horror, and replay value for me is average as well. Overall this gets a 6 out of 10.

"Madhouse" bears a lot of resemblance with the previous year's "Theater of Blood", and actually that movie was already some sort of multiplication of the 1971 hit "The Abominable Dr. Phibes". General conclusion: throughout the early 70's Vincent Price's successful career largely relied on playing the same flamboyant character over and over again, but who cares seriously, as all his films are hugely entertaining and worth tracking down. "Madhouse" even features another rewarding bonus, as Vincent Price shares the screen with fellow horror legend Peter Cushing. Here in this film, Price wondrously (of course) depicts a horror actor named Paul Toombes who has practically converged with his fixed movie character Dr. Death. When his future wife is found savagely beheaded on the morning after numerous house guests witnessed a verbal dispute, Paul Toombes is led to believe that years of identifying with Dr. Death has driven him to madness and actual murder. Toombes retires for twelve long years, until his good friend and manager Herbert convinces him to reprise his legendary Dr. Death role in a TV-format. As soon as the series begins filming, dead bodies start piling up again. Is Paul Toombes really a maniacal killer or is there someone, dressed in his horror movie costume, trying to make him look guilty? Director Jim Clark, usually a respectable editor, clearly intended to make an amusing and tongue-in-cheek Grand Guignol effort, rather than a serious and indigestible thriller. The film features clippings from previous Vincent Price highlights, including "The Haunted Palace", "House of Usher" and "The Raven". Perhaps Clark borrowed this idea from Peter Bogdanovich, who did something similar with Boris Karloff's career in "Targets". The murders in "Madhouse" are extremely imaginative, although incredibly over-the-top, like the crushing bed sequence. Dr. Death's outfit and make-up are deliciously macabre and there are some bonkers sub plots, like a crazy woman in a basement and the ravishing Linda Hayden as a over-enthusiast fan-girl/stalker. Recommended, but only if you're a fan of Vincent Price and his career.
