The Mansion of Madness

This is a 70s low-budget version of a Poe tale by the director of Alucarda. A reporter goes to a famous asylum only to discover that it is being run by a madman, It feels a little like an episode of The Prisoner but there is no visual flare. It’s shot in a really flat, boring way and is completely lacking any energy. The actors (all filthy hippies) look like they raided a community college prop room and each put together a “crazy” outfit. On top of all that they plot is not very good and the score is terrible. I wanted to like this one, but alas it is not very good.
