Madness

Madness (Vacanze per un massacro, 1980) is an Italian crime thriller directed by Fernando Di Leo — watch online on iFILM. Joe Dallesandro plays Joe Brezzi, a convicted killer who escapes custody and drives straight to a remote country cottage where he stashed stolen cash before his arrest. The problem: a family of three has moved in.

Brezzi takes them hostage and settles in to wait. Di Leo keeps the action locked inside that single house, letting the pressure climb without a break. Lean, brutal, and unapologetic, the film sits firmly in the tradition of tough Italian genre cinema from the late 1970s. Watch Madness (1980) online on iFILM.
