In this episode of Horror Hour with the Hanna's, we plunge into MadS (2024), the frenetic French horror-thriller that unfolds in a single, unbroken take. Directed by David Moreau and streaming on Shudder, the film throws viewers into a nightmarish descent as teen Romain’s trip spirals into a viral outbreak unfolding in real time 

We break down what makes MadS technically astonishing—its one-shot execution, immersive camerawork, and pulsating sound design praised by critics as a “thrill ride that never lets up” But we also scrutinize its drawbacks: the thin character development, narrative that dissolves into chaos, and pacing that some viewers found sluggish and disorienting .

Join us as we weigh the impressive momentum and visceral tension against the story’s emotional disconnect. Is MadS a groundbreaking showcase of immersive horror—or does its formal bravado overshadow its substance? Tune in for a heated debate on style versus story in one of 2024’s most divisive thrillers.
