Mad Max..Good Horror?
I just watched Mad Max again, I realized that there is
a complexity about this film, about horror from both spectrums of good and evil, being shelled out at one another. plus, the end reminds me of the first SAW...Mad Max.. Good Horror?

Um no. Mad Max isn't a horror film, it's a post apocalyptic sci-fi/action film. This is the fist time I've ever heard anyone remotely consider it horror.

I can see what he is getting at. the funny thing is, most people say "Post-apocalyptic" when referring to Mad Max. trhe original was not. it was mildly futuristic, but not end of the world by any stretch.
however, he has a point. think of it in relation to TCM or devil's rejects. A roving band of sickos wander the countryside, killing and raping innocent people because they like it. Then they over react to someone trying to get away from them and end up murdering a cop's wife and baby. He then gets horrific revenge on them. It actually almost qualifies as a "revenge horror" if you squint a little. it didnt become post-apocalyptic for real until the road warrior.

well, if murder is the qualifier then the horror genre sure just broadened up ... i think they are completely oposite in feel and theme. although not quite apocalyptic, society is in the begining throes of a breakdown on a large scale (and they always say australia will be the last to go. saw was mostly indoors - confined spaces - mad max is all outdoors.. Mad Max compares to The Fast and Furious far more than Saw

No, the first was set in the futre if u see it enought times you will read it like a book, i saw it a lot as a little kid in australia, and watched all three again this year, it is definatley set in the future from the start. in my opinion

Okay, you are both right.
urge, i had forgotten about the SAW comparison. although i see the horror connection, it could not be farther away from saw, so i definately agree with you there. Saw was methodical, the villains in Mad Max were just nuts. Maybe even poo nuts... But not Poo wang... that is screech's arena.
