Loosely adapted from the 1940 play and 1941

Loosely adapted from the 1940 play and 1941 film, Ladies in Retirement, The Mad Room is a slow building, sinister thriller that explores themes of insanity and mistrust. Stylistically, it combines traditional, noir-ish cinematography with occasional new wave elements like jumbled, overlapping dialogue and splashes of paint-red blood. Unfortunately, the creepy story is ultimately somewhat undermined by a campy plot device and abrupt ending.

The movie info is wrong, They never tried

The movie info is wrong, They never tried to bury Gladys, the dog got the hand when she was still in the attic. Just wanted to clarify.
