I can't believe people actually like this bullshit I'm not going to write a whole review, the movie isn't worth it it simply sucks, I usually like these stupid zombie movies, like house of the dead it's total crap, it's meant to be a seriously good movie, but it's so lame it's funnythis isn't the case here because I could tell that even the actors were thinking; why did i sign this damned contract, my movie career will be overit's just lame, there's hardly any gore, the most annoying movie scenes ever, I mean, there were like 50 of the same scenes just popping in randomly, I guess it should've frightened me or something i don't knowI watched it because i was in the mood for a cheap bad zombie movie, which would make me laugh because it's good, or because it's just that bad but it's neither, i would've been more entertained watching my TV on stand-by mode for over an hour

"The Mad" is without a doubt meant to be bad. There can be little doubt that both the cast, the director, and most likely the screen writer foreordained this to be a laughably bad film. There are time in which Billy Zane's performance not only breaks the forth wall it shatters it into a thousand pieces, leaving the viewer in a vortex of both confusion and pure hilarity. If it's not zombies, who's only zombie like aspect is alka-seltzer driven mouth foam, it's seemingly omniscience beef patties that attack the characters in-mass. The full affect of this leaves one with more per-zombie-giggles than "FIDO". If you happen to have a group of pro-zombie minded friends and what a movie to put everyone in stitches try "The Mad".

~Spoiler~ The Mad is a movie that came late to the party. Shaun of the Dead showed us how to make a zombie comedy and became an instant classic. Dead and Breakfast was a perfect midnight movie that became an instant cult classic. The Mad will be instantly forgotten. And that sucks because I really love Billy Zane. He just picks the wrong projects. I had been excited for this movie since it was first announced. That announcement made no mention of comedy. It was supposed to be Billy Zane and his daughter fending off zombies at a gas station. Imagine my surprise when 2 months later (literally) the movie came out direct to DVD and it was touted as a "zombedy." Flags went up after seeing how soon this came out, but I decided to give it a chance anyway because I love zombies and I love Zane. Let me say after viewing it they could have called it The Bad. It was just blah; not funny, not gory, certainly not memorable. This is a classic example of trying too hard. If a joke doesn't work, no amount of zaniness (pardon my pun) is going to fix it. Believe me when I say The Silence of the Hams was funnier.

I like zombie films and all manner of B horror and science fiction shows. But this thing is simply too bad to put into words. It tries to be a fun campy zombie flick but fails miserably. The funny parts and not even remotely funny. The only thing I can think of to compare this to is Napoleon Dynamite. It just has no substance to it at all. The acting and production values are good and it obviously was made with some kind of budget but the direction, feel, atmosphere and plot of this movie suck. I urge everyone in the strongest possible language to stay as far away from this movie as possible
