Tales That Witness Madness

1973 · 90 min

A creaky, deadpan British portmanteau that mixes drawing-room absurdity with sudden nasty shocks, like a fever dream told by a very calm lunatic.

Tagline: An Orgy of the Damned! It happens beyond madness - where your mind won't believe what your eyes see.
Overview: Enigmatic asylum owner Dr Tremayne houses four very special cases. Visited by his colleague Nicholas, Tremayne explains his amazing and controversial theories as to why each patient went mad, be they a ritualistic 'luau', a time-travelling bicycle, a toy tiger, and a tree stump.
How it feels: Eerie, absurd, dark and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Madness, obsession, betrayal, death
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
