The Mad (watched 8/5/09)
First off you have to understand we enter schlock night with low expectations, however it was a unanimous decision that “The Mad” was by far the most painful movie of schlock night. Don’t let it’s 5 minute quirky song intro get your hopes up, like it did ours. The intro was simply so it could break the 80 minute barrier. It was a dialogue-fest, and it’s writer and special effects budget was blown on Billy Zane. Had we researched any further on IMDB we might have found this “A Father-Daughter Feel Good Zombie Film”. Unfortunately this wasn’t tongue in cheek. In retrospect it’s funny to describe the movie, but really you could discuss the whole film having watched the trailer.
Highlights from the movie do include a discussion on how to kill zombies, and the closing credits.
Suggestions for improvements: replace Billy Zane with Henry Rollins, have a sex scene with anyone but cows
Spare yourself. .5 (that’s half)/5 Brains

For the first time in my life, while watching a zombie flick, I thought to myself: “I would rather zombie-out and eat these assholes than try to survive with them” and let me just say that I’ve never gone for brains…excluding that girl from philosophy class sophomore year… I understand why the boyfriend dove headfirst into the horde, you know, all seven of them…foaming at the mouth…which, by the way, probably had nothing at all to do with their dead/alive status but instead stemmed from the number of antacid tablets they took to swallow Sutter’s, all too obviously, glowing, mobile and murderous, patties. Or maybe we should just blame that on the budget as well. Yeah, that sounds about right. I’m not one for fascist book burning type activities but if there was anything to wipe off the face of the earth for the sake of posterity… -gw.
