From Google.com:
The Mad is a 2007 Canadian horror-comedy film that puts a zany, satirical spin on the "mad cow" disease scare of the early 2000s. The film follows a doctor (Billy Zane) and his family who stop at an idyllic small-town diner, only to realize the organic beef burgers are turning the locals into flesh-eating zombies. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Details
Reception and Vibe
The movie is best known for its B-movie aesthetic and ridiculous, over-the-top gore. Critics and audiences widely agree that the film's strongest asset is Billy Zane's comedic, self-deprecating performance as a former drummer going through a midlife crisis. It’s a very goofy take on zombie apocalypse tropes that leans heavily into the absurdity of killer hamburgers. [1, 3, 7, 8, 10, 12]
