Madhouse Mecca

I really enjoyed the dark atmosphere and camera work done by the film makers. Director did a great job capturing the characters emotions and state of mind. Very much enjoyed the film. Great job!

This film had my attention from beginning to end. I wanted more. What happens next? Kids? Divorce? Another try at a love triangle? If you haven't seen it yet check it out. True life stuff.

I have to admit my expectations were not all that high when I selected MM on Amazon Prime late one night. Boy, was I in for a surprise. The story involves the states of mind and relationships intertwined between two very different yet similarly conflicted women. One is an exotic dancer with much baggage, while the other is a housewife with disappointments and conflicts with her marriage. They two meet via a shared circle of friends and go on to have a brief tryst which changes both of their lives. The acting is professional and well done, and I give a particular nod to Tera Patrick who does a very credible job of playing the strip-club manager.

The atmosphere in Madhouse Mecca is like a character onto itself. Moody and uncomfortable, it gets under your skin. Good character development as well. Certainly not an uplifting story...but still makes you want more!

An alluring threesome almost breaks the bones of marriage between the protagonists.

On the similar theme of dormant psycho sexual thrill I recall THE HUNGER: THE PERFECT COUPLE (2000) The use of subtle colous adds to surrealism and imparts dreamlike atmosphere to brittle human relationships.
