SP - Deconstruction of Madhouse

Madhouse (William Butler, 2004)

Budget: $3 million
Remake of a 1974 film.


  • High amount of narrative enigma.
  • Flickering light.
  • Blue writing dripping like blood.
  • White corridor could be a hospital.
  • Jump cut to a baby (dead maybe?)
  • Quick shots used frequently to add intensity.
