Domingo plays Shane, a successful businessman whose life is turned upside down after he witnesses a horrific event. Plagued by paranoia and hallucinations, Shane becomes increasingly isolated and suspicious of those around him. As he struggles to make sense of his reality, he begins to wonder if he is truly going mad or if there is something sinister at play.

The trailer effectively conveys the film's unsettling atmosphere and Domingo's gripping performance. The protagonist's descent into paranoia is both disturbing and empathetic, making the audience question their own perceptions of reality. The cinematography and editing create a sense of disorientation and heightened anxiety, immersing viewers in Shane's fragmented state of mind.
"Domingo gives a tour-de-force performance as Shane, perfectly capturing the paranoia and desperation of a man who is losing his grip on reality," said film critic Roger Ebert Jr.
Psychiatrist Dr. Sarah Jones commented, "The film explores the complexities of mental illness and the devastating effects it can have on relationships and one's sense of self."
"The Madness" has the potential to be a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant thriller. The film's exploration of mental health and the nature of reality is sure to generate discussion and reflection. Its release on Netflix will make it widely accessible, potentially reaching a large audience and sparking conversations about the importance of mental health awareness.
