Haunts me still after 25 years, 5 June 2000
10/10
Author: N.L. from Philly

I saw "A Page of Madness" in a silent film course at Wesleyan University and it haunts me still after 25 years. Truly ahead of its time - perhaps even still - this gem of a film reveals both the frightening and attractive aspects of madness.
