  • Meth to Madness follows the fast descent of a naïve young woman down a spiral of experimental methamphetamine use and wholesale slaughter. Enter Zoe, a pretty young woman on a first date eager to impress. When offered the chance to try methamphetamine for the first time by her date at a drug dealer’s house, she simply replies “why not?”.

    This fast paced romp through the world of crystal meth, crack pipes and gore tackles the issue of drug addiction and the consequential moral abandonment of the addict through the genre of Zombie Horror.

    Featuring some of Australia’s premier emerging young actors including Bella Heathcote (Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows), and Penelope Mitchell (Eli Roth’s Hemlock Drive) Meth to Madness pays homage to horror classics including Evil Dead alongside drug exploitation propaganda original Reefer Madness.
