The Madness Within has a lot of problems with a few interesting bright spots along the way. The biggest problem is Russ' character arc is more of a flat line instead of an actual arc. As bad things happen to him, his reactions to them are just not strong enough (if there's a reaction at all). It's like the character jumps out of a two-story building (which is terrible), but we really need him to fall at least five to ten stories instead.
