I, Madman

About This Movie

I, Madman is an interesting blend of horror and thriller that really plays with the idea of fiction bleeding into reality. Set in a claustrophobic bookshop, we follow this clerk who’s drawn into a dark, twisted narrative as a killer from her vintage pulp novels starts stalking her. The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the practical effects, especially for the disfigured killer, have a gritty charm that adds to the unsettling vibe. The pacing is pretty deliberate, allowing the tension to build. You can feel the love for the genre in its homage to 1950s horror, but it's not just a throwback; the film explores themes of obsession and fear in a really unique way. Plus, the lead performance is solid, grounding the whole bizarre premise.
