I like the movie quite a bit. I admit some of it is a little confusing at times, but the atmosphere and erratic movements of the characters does an excellent job of emphasizing the point that the place is unhealthy, and that the occupants aren't quite normal. If the place were bright and the people perfectly functioning the movie would have been far more confusing. The costume choices and the diologue also added to the effect. The characters have strong personalities, and their connection to each other is well demonstrated. There are also some interesting quotes, that could go a long way towards getting the viewer to really think about what they are seeing, and what their life is like. I thought it was an excellent movie overall. Very well done.

Inventive, hysterical, and strangely beautiful, Rene Daalder's intelligent, never less than compelling psychodrama vividly brings a disturbing verisimilitude to the age-old adage of 'The lunatics are running the asylum!' Daalder creates a stylish, ballsy, and fiendishly clever descent into a tightly choreographed maelstrom of deliciously distracting dementia! This artfully staged British-Canadian Co-production has a rousingly wonderful score, a sardonic, thought-provoking text, and the uniformly fabulous cast deliver visceral performances as the increasingly outlandish patients who eerily share one squalling group consciousness, with their impish, gimlet-eyed ringmaster, Patrick MacGoohan, being on magisterially mental form, charismatically portraying the illuminated lunatic Dr. Harvey Langston with a barely controllable glee! And the sultry, raven haired, distractingly limber beauty, Emmanuelle Vaugier is positively magnetic as the volatile, darkly fascinating, but dangerously psychotic, Veronica Bloom! This jittery,frequently erotic, excitingly off-kilter Sci-horror gem proves itself to be an eccentric, enticingly Cronenbergian 'Shock Corridor' that is manifestly worth the visit!

A fun, weird and trippy movie, set in an asylum where the shrinks are as insane as their patients (and some even more). I like mostly the tone of the movie, the atmosphere, and the sometimes very grotesque, weird performances and scenes. Hysteria - not a movie for everyone, but if you like stories about insanity, crazy docs and their works, this one will just do - just don't expect a horror gore feast, it's a mix of fantasy, science, thriller and drama.

The ending of this is just a polling and so is the sixties free love vibe that surrounds it. The old doctor seems to be some miracle worker and can cure any disorder and it turns them into an entertainment group. This dragged on for way to long that at times I thought I was watching a musical and I was waiting on some sort of revolt that would end it all. Finally the young doctor leaves the place but after a few minutes decides he was better of at the asylum?!. The first part was interesting but the second part totally blew it. This movie has way to many inconsistencies for it to truly work. A 4 over all. And that's me being kind.

Hysteria is sort of a combination of Heart of Darkness and the old mad doctor type horror films. Patrick McGoohan is wonderful as always as Dr. Langston, a psychiatrist who is trying out a new radical form of therapy on his patients. When another doctor (Michael Moloney) brings a patient of his to the institute, he finds out that it is hard to leave once you are part of the group mind. Fans of fantasy and new age will enjoy this film, as well as the casual viewer...but it is definitely not for all.

Well this is quite a strange movie, British/Canadian film set in an asylum where the doctor/mad scientist in charge is as crazy as his patients, in whom he has implanted electrical devices so that he can create the perfect being (or something, I found it rather confusing to say the least). "Welcome to the last good old fashioned madhouse" he says to a new arrival. Only thing is I doubt that many mental institutions stage musical numbers and accompanying dance routines, performed by the patients, they are very frequent in this film and I found it to be too much. At one point they sing "One for all and all for one" over and over, no doubt inspired by the classic "Freaks" (1932). One of the main characters is Veronica, a beautiful patient who - along with a few other women - sheds her clothes throughout, Hysteria was directed by Rene Daalder, a protege of the infamous Russ Meyer, so the nudity is hardly surprising. Most of the running time takes place in the dimly light old building, the picture is quite dark though in fairness the print that Talking Pictures TV (UK) screened was poor, VHS quality. It looked like it was from 1987, not 1997. Hysteria is described as a psychological thriller but it is also a horror that has a dose of black humour. I didn't really enjoy it, the plot isn't easy to make sense of and I found the dance numbers too repetitive, at 103 minutes it was too long. It is an unusual movie and while it is far from being instantly forgettable it is not one that I would want to watch again.

I really still don't know what this movie is all about. Described as a "psycho thriller", its about Patrick McGoohan as a mad scientist running a hospital for mentally disturbed patients and doing psychological experiments with schizophrenia and paranoia effects. Now it's the turn of a doctor to find out about this mad experiments of his boss. That's the whole story, and it's even difficult to fin a plot within this weird and confusing b-movie psycho drama. I guess there was no real script involved, as the pacing, the logical story and the acting all seem completely pointless. Only Amanda Plummer's performance as a paranoid wheelchair patient is at least interesting and unusual. There are martial arts fights, seducing sexploitation, horror elements, crazy zombies just walking around and even modern dance theater scenes, but the whole senseless mixture of weirdo elements cannot bring light into the darkness but only leave the watchers confused about this very strange film that nobody really needs.
