Jesse Hassenger AV Club 08/05/2019
C-
But as bodies pile up and Mewes becomes more frazzled, the movie's already-modest sense of gravitas slips away in favor of overacting, smirky violence, and a misplaced sense of amusement over men acting in any way effete. Go to Full Review

2/5

4.5/5
The film somehow manages to fulfil its own legacy as we see Mewes take on an unexpected and scene stealing role and you could draw comparison to this recent trend in films challenging stereotypical casting such as Uncut Gems & Mandy. Go to Full Review

Brad P 03/06/2023 It may be more of a comedy with some gore than a true horror film, but Madness in the Method still presents an unflinching depiction of the darker side of the Hollywood lifestyle. Anyone dreaming of being an actor needs to watch this. See more jamie m 09/22/2022 Good movie for Jason Mewes first try at directing I love how he basicly makes it about himself in it! See more 11/09/2021 I really root for Jason mewes . On a side note this was a good movie too 3.6 See more 07/31/2021 This is a silly dark comedy where most of the people play themselves. If you like Kevin Smith, then you will like this directorial debut by Jason Mewes. See more 02/13/2021 The best movie I've ever seen. See more 02/11/2021 Absolutely loved it!
