WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
girlfightmovie Mad Mad House Format: Reality Time: 9:00-10:00PM (Finale was 2 hours) Rating: TV14 Channel: SciFiMad Mad House is a reality show from the SCIFI Channel, about 10 ordinary people who become roommates with a wiccan, a naturist, a vampire, a modern primitive, and voodoo priestess to learn about alternative lifestyles and vie for $100,000. Guests are challenged in-house by tests and rituals pertaining to each alt's lifestyle and then are voted off by the alts, choosing who to vote off by placing a necklace around their necks. The purpose is to allow the guests to open their minds to alternative lifestyles and such person who meets this match will win. This is one of the few reality shows where the hosts are the stars and the guests are pawns in their game to add to our entertainment of already being shock-value.The AltsFiona Horne, Wiccan Don Henrie, Vampire Art Aguirre, Modern Primitive Avocado, Naturist Iya Ta'Shia Asanti, Voodoo PriestessGuestsEric Lindquist Tim McGhee Noel Shankel Kelly Keefe, Campaign Manager Hamin Phillips Jamie Ethridge, Exotic Dancer Bonnie Dobkin Brent Ellis Nichole Ferrera Loana HuynhSeason: 1No. Episode Air Date Prod 1 The Madness Begins! 3/4/2004 101 2 Kelly's Barking Mad 3/11/2004 102 3 We are Goddesses, Damn it! 3/18/2004 103 4 The Alts Get Even 3/25/2004 104 5 Hanging Around 4/1/2004 105 6 Don Drinks & Drains 4/8/2004 106 7 Blood Guzzlers 4/15/2004 107 8 Thee Shall Hang! 4/22/2004 108 9 Mad Finale Mad 4/29/2004 109This show was cancelled but has appeared on other networks, namely the Reality TV Network on DishTV, for example, years after its untimely demise.Features:The hosts lost site of their role in the last episodes but revived themselves in the end. - Extremely dangerous stunts that focus on the concept of death and other morbid elements.Cons:You can't expect anyone to take a show on alternative lifestyles seriously if it appears on the SciFi channel, especially before a show like "Tripping the Rift," which was a modernized version of several failed shows before it, like DuckMan, a show on USA (which owns SciFi) from the 90s. - If you are the hosts and do not know what you're doing, how are you qualified to be in such positions?
B_V_Smirk This is the best reality show, in my opinion, by far. It's not just about doing strange stunts to win some cash, but it's about opening yourself to new ideas.Some of the contestants were kicked off, not because they did poorly at the games, but because they refused to accept a vampire, witch, voodoo priestess, primitive, and a naturalist as hosts and friends.It showed how some people are truly closed minded and can not accept religions beyond the mainstream or how they can not handle nudity. It really shows the little things about people that in usual society, you'd never see.If you can watch it, I definitely recommend it.Like they said in the show, "This is so much more then a game"
orangegoby The Sci-Fi Channel's attempt to attract higher ratings with a "reality TV" show was a decent one. Other reality shows have been boring and mostly unimaginative. Manufacturing the next pop sensation, eating gross thing after gross thing, and competing for some random guy or girl just doesn't intrigue me. The Sci-Fi Channel knows its viewers don't want that invading their sanctuary from popular TV programming, so they add an appealing spin to the idea.The best aspect of the show is that it takes the guests out of their comfortable, familiar lives and puts them in an environment where they have to experience the lifestyles and values of five "freaks". Challenging what the contestants might think and then using their responses and openness as criteria for elimination was a nice break from the fastest, strongest, and most popular advancing.But of course, it is a reality show. Drama, plotting, unusual situations, and a big prize are part of it. Putting people through all of that just for the sake of viewers' twisted amusement and no other purpose gets kinda boring. At least find a real (or an almost real) reason to have guests drink blood and stand waist-deep in unpleasant stuff. Sci-Fi did well enough with that. My biggest qualm is that the prize details should have been played down to the guests or even kept secret until the end.Despite my qualms with the show I enjoyed it. Unlike some, I don't feel the need to discredit and trash the Alts. I still think they are genuine people after watching . Anyway, people really do live those sorts of lifestyles. It's nice to be able to get a glimpse into them. Sci-Fi scored points with a lot of disappointed viewers who have been waiting a while for something decent to watch.
matron820 In an attempt to create a Science-Fiction'esque reality show, Sci-Fi has come up with a brand new ground breaking series called "Mad Mad House". This series places 10 total strangers in a house with a vampire, a witch, a modern primitive, a voodoo priestess , and a naturist. All of the "alts" as they call them all are really what they claim to be, they are in no way actors, even the vampire. The alts control what happens in the house, and who gets to stay, and who goes home. There are trials in which the guests do things ranging from stripping down totally naked, to drinking blood. Although plenty of the ideas in the show may be borrowed from other reality series, the show really is extremely different from a lot of the other reality series out there, and deserves a chance.
