C-

But as bodies pile up and Mewes becomes more frazzled, the movie's already-modest sense of gravitas slips away in favor of overacting, smirky violence, and a misplaced sense of amusement over men acting in any way effete.

2/5

Much like Mewes' career, the film is stuck in a sort of arrested development in which jokes about smoking joints and Vinnie Jones are automatically hilarious.

4.5/5

The film somehow manages to fulfil its own legacy as we see Mewes take on an unexpected and scene stealing role and you could draw comparison to this recent trend in films challenging stereotypical casting such as Uncut Gems & Mandy.

Messy, tonally inconsistent, offensive, and ultimately pointles

If anything, fans of Kevin Smith's View Askewniverse can use this as something to hold us over until Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

It seems that in this sense, perhaps Mewes would have been better off in making his debut about someone other than himself...

It may be more of a comedy with some gore than a true horror film, but Madness in the Method still presents an unflinching depiction of the darker side of the Hollywood lifestyle. Anyone dreaming of being an actor needs to watch this.

This is a silly dark comedy where most of the people play themselves. If you like Kevin Smith, then you will like this directorial debut by Jason Mewes.
