Don’t do drugs, kids! That’s a lesson, I’m assuming, from the French horror movie MadS, where a guy swallows a pill of unknown origin and, if the trailer released today is any indication, things get bloody and completely off the rails.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Eighteen year old Romain has just graduated and makes a stop at his dealer’s place to try a new pill. As he heads off to a party, he sees an injured woman on the side of the road and decides to help her, but when she gets in his car, she suddenly smashes her own head against the dashboard, bleeding out until she dies. Is this a bad trip? Or is it something else? One thing is for sure, it’s only the beginning of the night.
The trailer also boasts that the entire movie is one single long shot, something that writer-director David Moreau did to convey what a mindf*ck of a night it is for Romain.
“The fundamental choice to shoot this film in a single shot stems from the desire to make this hallucinatory journey as authentic as possible,” Moreau said in a statement. “By closely following Romain, Anaïs and Julia without interruption, the camera becomes a direct witness to this descent into hell, capturing every moment without filter or escape. This single shot thus becomes the common thread of a realistic, immersive sensory experience. Through this seamless continuity, the viewer feels the characters’ progress through this psychosis in an almost physical way. Every scene, every emotion, is experienced in real time, with no possibility of escape, creating an unparalleled plunge into this altered state of consciousness.”
The film stars Milton Riche, Laurie Pavy, and Lucille Guillaume and will premiere on AMC+/Shudder on October 18, 2024.
Check out the trailer below and take your own guess as to whether the events are real or all in Romain’s mind. [end-mark]
