This movie has a great title that unfortunately is never lived up to by the actual film. It sounds like we're in for something along the lines of BLOODSUCKING FREAKS but what you get is a lot more of a subdued tale of inmates running an asylum. It's barely even a horror film despite being marketed that way. The movie was made in Mexico by director Juan Lopez Moctezuma who also was a producer on EL TOPO. This movie has sort of a similar feel to that epic but in a very watered down way. Sort of a surrealism-light situation. You get a pretty mild rape scene thrown in, a little nudity, people acting crazy(including an amusing chicken-man) and endless scenes of talking which make this mostly a big snooze-fest. This has also been released under the title of THE MANSION OF MADNESS which is apparently uncut but I've never seen that version and can't say if it's any gorier or more exciting than this cut American release.
