WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

SMG3D This is really about a sadistic doctor in a mental hospital who rapes his patients. One of these patients commits suicide on visiting day in front of her very young daughter, who later, as an adult, admits herself into the same hospital under the pretense that she has sexual-oriented problems. Really she is just there for revenge. With the help of an orderly who is also disgusted by the doctor's behavior, she sets it up to look like the doctor accidentally murdered her while trying to rape her. Then her "body" mysteriously disappears and reappears despite the doctor's best efforts to conceal his crime. She "haunts" him until he looses his mind and ends up a mental patient himself.While this is certainly not a masterful film by any means, it's not really that bad, and if you are a big Malcolm McDowell fan you may even love it-- despite the general mediocrity of the movie, he shines. Whoever wrote the other review must have the attention-span of a doorknob. For a B-movie, it's really not that bad at all, and even has some charming and amusing moments (candy-gram, and I'll say no more).

heethcliff I first saw this film a few years ago when I was viewing Dom d Louise's early works, and became interested in other actors who had once had their names written in the stars, but were now little more than B-vehicle and up-staged stars of bad sit-coms.Malcolm, of course, was one of the first to make the leap from a rather desperate film career to mediocre sit-com, and has since been followed by such lights as: Cybil Shepherd (Cybil), Joan Cusak (Joan), Bette Midler (Bette), and Courtney Cox (Friends).I hadn't realised this was his first film sporting the future-villain hair-style, but this only adds to the value of my ex-rental copy of the film.Much has been said of the camera work in this film, as a sort of a chart of a man's descent into madness, but few people mention the shot that, I feel, is the key to the entire film. When one of the patients exposes himself to a nurse, we get a - filmically - rare penis POV. I have never seen such a thing attempted in a movie, and if you add this to the tremendous whirling tracking-shots, you end up with a film that I think proves beyond doubt that Scorsese owes more to Winkler than he dares reveal.Brilliant, and standing up to multiple viewings, I have seen it several times, and truly covet my copy of this obscure American classic.BTW, watch out for the genuinely "disturbing" scene, after the closing credits, where Malcolm "interferes" with the camera, raising all sorts of philosophical questions on the nature of madness, the truth of film, and Crossing The Line (on several levels). Once again, Brilliant!

John Warner The importance of this film must not be underestimated. It was the first EVER time that Malcolm McDowell sported the 'futuristic' spiked hair-do. It has since become his acting trademark. It is the 10th anniversary of the famous hair-style, and you should show your respect by renting this film.

Xq_Smee Listen to me. I must say that this movie was absolutely horrible. I had no idea what the point of this entire movie was! It starts with this incredibly stupid scene with the "doctor" injecting his patients, knocking them out to "experiment with them". It all takes place in an insane asylum. Eventually, the doctor gets this patient that is "attractive". He decides to "experiment" on her. Well, he ends up killing her. She was DEAD! And then the rest of the movie, her "ghost" haunts this doctor. I usually don't write to describe movies like this. But I feel it is my solemn duty to warn you NEVER to waste your time with this unimaginably horrible film. If you are watching this film to see the actor Malcolm McDowell, who is a fabulous actor, you are wasting your time. Go see A Clockwork Orange, a much better Malcolm McDowell film, MUCH better. Please, skip this awful movie. Start a petition in your community to have this movie burned and anyone who disagrees locked up. God be with anyone who decides to watch this movie despite my imminent warnings.
