Title: Very Promising Effort by First-Time Director
Review: Madhouse is a low-budget movie by first-time director William Butler. But don't let that fool you, or scare you away. The movie's creepy atmosphere, solid script and direction will leave you satisfied and looking forward to future efforts. Butler is able to get strong performances from his entire cast. Among the most notable actors/actresses are Jordan Ladd (Cabin Fever, Club Dread), Lance Henriksen (Alien series) and Joshua Leonard (Chronicles of Riddick). Butler's sets are genuinely sinister and creepy, which is critical for the subject material. Definitely give this one a chance.....any horror aficianado should be introduced to Mr. Butler's first work. My guess is that we will be seeing a lot more from him!
