Having unwatched many zombie movies over the years since they all seemed the same, I took a chance on "MadS" having heard good buzz about it. The French have certainly turned the horror genre on it's head over the past few years, "MadS" is no exception here. Skipping the plot reviews, this movie is worth watching for actress Laurie Pavy as Anais. Her section of the film, especially in the scooter ride sequence, is a total physical assault. To say that she gives it all she's got is an understatement, especially since the the continuous shot technique would have demanded continuity from all the actors. Pavy is exhausting to watch, as well as being very disturbing. Hearing her scream "I'm going to eat your f*ing face" as her friend Julia escapes her (briefly) is really chilling.
Also a mention of the title reveal is called for here.
