For a slasher movie nobody's ever heard of, "Madhouse" actually has a decent budget, and it's surprising to see how believable the scenes within a school for the hearing impaired are. I wonder if one of the filmmakers had some sort of involvement with such an institution in real life.
Unfortunately, they don't really do much with either positive. The plot is really hard to follow, and there's not much to remember or recommend about "Madhouse".
A strange thing is that some of the kills feature a rottweiler. Something I don't think I've seen before in a slasher, is a killer with a pet who does the killing for them. "Madhouse" perhaps provides a reason why that isn't done too often: it doesn't really work.
The story is something about a teacher at a school for the death who has an evil, deformed twin sister, who breaks out of jail. Some people start getting killed by the rottweiler, and maybe by someone in a mask, and you know we're poised for a reunion between the two sisters.
The movie does have one surprising twist, and at least one scene that was almost scary, so it's not a total waste.
