MadS

Although the story seems simple and usual, this is a very interesting movie in how it escalates and how it chooses where to focus and what to leave unexplained. In other words we have seen this before but not in this way. Also it is important to point out the different interpresentations that one could extract in general. Drugs related the most important. What it leaves, is a feeling of unease which is very important from the beginning. If you choose to watch this movie searching for allegorical meaning or not, you will be satisfied in the end. Very promising acting from Laurie Pavy and a big hope for the future.

I'm American so this french film with subtitles going to the top of my horror list for 2024 independent films is a pretty big feat. It wastes no time which is spectacular and seriously warranted with all these drawn out tv halfway horrors. It's very well filmed even with the handheld steady run & gun style Cinematography, I loved every scene. Definitely a film you can have fun watching with other people. Hearing them scream in french "s'ilvous plait" over and over was like music to my ears. It was choreographed to be chaotic and yet it was incredibly smooth and sharp. It didn't beat around the bush with dumb responses or poor acting it seemed very logical and crazy all at the same time. The dialogue had just enough info without being extra wordy while reading subs. From start to finish I have no complaints. The last scene was hell-fully picturesque. I see the similarities of all young people no matter where your from trying to figure out life getting dealt some life changing anguish 😧 and having nowhere to turn no where to hide and only thing u can do is lose your mind and scream. I love artful simplicity even the movie cover was a good clue to all who watch will be in for a disturbing fun ride.

This is an incredibly well executed film.

The beginning is intense and very well directed and feels credible.

The story does follow a drug addict.

So might not work for those with strong stigma. But shouldn't be a problem for a reasonable viewer.

The film follows an intense night of partying that turns into something else.

It's a very well acted film. And well directed.

A great achievement to so skillfully direct a movie with one take.

The stream of events is engaging.

This is one of those film to watch with as little knowledge as possible.

Well worth it.

I can't say much more. But this movie is well directed and very engaging. And feels fresh.

But in the end, it is very much style over substance which is it's weakness.

But a great ride to take.

This movie was without a doubt one of the best horror movies of the year, in my opinion. It is basically a non-stop action thrill ride within the first five minutes of the movie.

They claim that this movie was shot in one take, which as you know is impossible to do....but it does seem as if it is shot in one constant take.

The actors did an excellent job, I have never seen them in any movie before, but maybe they are more prominent in France. But bravo to the all.

If you take one thing away from the movie, that message is, don't do drugs kids. It can really mess you up and you never know what's in the drug you are taking.

9/10 - highly recommend it if you like action/horror movies.

I'll be the first to admit, Shudder has a habit of dumping a lot of questionable content on their platform, but MadS is a real gem. The French director David Moreau brings a fresh take on the zombie genre with his frenetic, one-take style that plunges you straight into the madness. The only thing better than a single-take film is a single-take horror, and MadS uses this technique to perfection, creating a claustrophobic and tense experience that feels both chaotic and masterfully controlled.

David Moreau's take on the zombie genre is frenetic and totally refreshing. The French just know how to make horrors that get under your skin, and MadS does exactly that with its claustrophobic atmosphere and tense pacing. If you're into inventive, pulse-pounding horror, this is definitely worth checking out.
