In this episode of Fear & Wine, we delve into the world drugs and horror in the unique French film MADS, which is an 88 minute tension filled trill ride, shot in one continuous take. We discuss our favorite French films and films based in France, the dynamics of character relationships, and the psychological effects of drugs on perception in horror narratives. The conversation highlights the importance of sound and visual storytelling in creating tension, as well as our personal experiences with horror films and their impact on viewers. The conversation explores the chaotic dynamics of a party where personal boundaries are tested, leading to escalating tensions and substance use. As relationships unravel, characters face transformation and violence, culminating in a military intervention that forces them to confront their survival instincts. The narrative concludes with a haunting revelation about the consequences of their actions and the nature of the infection that spreads among them.
