Melissa L @Agent99 Aug 7 This is very underrated here. I thought it was a great movie with a happy ending. Recommended viewing. See more matthias s @Thescreenasvor 11/15/2023 "I, Madman" is a rollercoaster of a horror film, with some ups and downs that left me both thrilled and a tad frustrated. The movie starts with a bang, offering a premise that had me hooked right from the beginning. The jumpscares were on point, and the execution of the horror elements is commendable. The standout here is the brilliantly portrayed villain, who oozes malevolence and adds a spine-tingling dimension to the story. The acting is decent, and the overall concept is intriguing. However, the CGI effects were painfully outdated, which often pulled me out of the experience. While the movie maintains a strong start, it stumbles towards the end, leaving a feeling of disappointment. The narrative seemed to lose its way and left me wanting more closure. Despite these hiccups, "I, Madman" serves as a decent horror flick for those who can overlook its shortcomings and enjoy the chills and thrills along the way.

I still find the whole thing quite disturbing but its also, clever, inspired and entertaining. The movie centers on a young woman working at a book store whom picks up an old, pulp novel entitled I, Madman. It scares the crap out of her and begins to manifest itself as it brutally murders the people close to her. The movie is wonderfully creative and to this day there still hasn't been anything like it. Jenny Wright has Virginia leaves much to be desired in the acting department but all these years later everything just works. It's got that really cool 80s retro feel making for an overly entertaining watch. 7.5/10 See more 10/26/2019 Definitely an interesting plot. Unlike most audience reviews, I thought Jenny Wright's portrayal of main character Virginia, was not very good. To me, she was really terrible. Also the scripted is pretty bad. Some of that could be do to the Comet channel editing n splicing n dicing scenes. Like when the Madman confronted her at the police station. She never mentions the incident. I understand it is a "low budget" slasher film but overall it doesn't look and appear to be low budget quality from scenes, props and filming. What comes off as low budget is Jenny Wright's acting and the poor script. Improve those two things and it could have been a lot more successful than it was n is. Overall I, Madman is entertaining but disappoints with Jenny Wright's acting. Yes, she was nominated for a Saturn award for best female actress in a sci-fi, fantasy, horror genre but there was such a lack of films 1989 was combined with 1990 and had a total of nine nominees for the two year period when by then the standard was six nominees per year. It seems her nomination was more out of the lack of choices than her performance. She definitely didn't win. It is a shame that a movie with that much potential was ruined by bad writing n Jenny Wright's performance. See more 08/22/2018 This movie in creepy and exciting!!! See more Read all reviews
