About twenty years ago were fashionable ironic horror movies, this sub-genre titles principles of the various "An American Werewolf in London", "Fright Night" and "Vamp", but it was a fairly short, as we know the fashions but sooner or later return. "The mad" belongs to this new line of horror late ironic that had the highest peak in recent years with the British "Shaun of the Dead" and "Severance-staff reductions." In this case, nothing glaring, but still a funny show schiacciapensieri paying only a ridiculous budget that can not fully develop the look more grim film. The "Mad" in the title is a gentrified family man, a former leader of a band of the '80s rock music, despite his will to fight against a horde of corpses hungry for human flesh. A highlight of the film dialogues manicured and quotes already cult debate over whether our heroes are being found in front of the living dead plague victims or the mad cow disease. Many find them to remember including a tango between the protagonist and a zombie with a helmet over the shot or the rash of bad luck happening to the younger boy (foot eaten by a dead man, shot in the back, the cannibal burgers face and finally succulent meal of the Dead). "The mad" is not as it seems apparently a play on the living dead, but a story of generational conflicts in the background of ornamental apocalypse of the undead. Directed by John Kalangis is pure routine, but the interpretation of Billy Zane is phenomenal, confirming that the comic actor of "Titanic" had shown us in "Demon Knight". Since we released directly on DVD: A vision however is, you never know who might become a cult midnight.
