Interesting facts

After a series of murders begin to happen in a similar fashion to how Doctor Dark's fictional murders. Dei defends herself against any criticism of the violence in her comics and later finds that the murderer is leaving the eyeballs of her victims in her apartment.

Production

As with the film's director Bruno Mattei made in the early 1990s, Madness was a low-budget effort aimed primarily at foreign sales. Screenplay author Lorenzo De Luca stated the scenario and script were written in one week and that Mattei "left me plenty of room to do what I wanted, as long as the movie did not cost too much and there were not too many characters. I had lots of fun, although being a low-budget film, I was paid very little."

Madness was shot with the same film crew who had previously shot Mattei's erotic thriller Dangerous Attraction. The film's music is credited to Flipper music, which is library music as well as borrowing from film scores of films like Lady Frankenstein.
