"Madhouse" aka "There Was a Little Girl" is an Italian slasher from 1981 that is part of UK's famous list of "Video Nasties".

Directed and produced by Ovidio G. Assonitis, the real director of the disastrous "Piranha Part Two: The Spawning" (which stains James Cameron's professional credits to this day) and producer of several other cheap B horror movies, "Madhouse" is a surprisingly competent slasher with touches of…

Dylan Minnette goes through the entire film alternating between two facial expressions: boredom…

What a wicked and sick film. I loved it!
