Gather around the campfire, and hear the tale of Madman Marz – an ill-tempered farmer who, one dark night, chopped up his wife and two children into pieces. When the locals learned of his heinous crimes, they exacted revenge – sinking an axe into his head and hanging him from a nearby tree. But the next day, Marz’s body was gone...
Thus the camp counsellor finishes his tale, closing with the warning never to say Marz’s name above a whisper, lest the hideously-deformed farmer comes looking for them. Naturally, the first thing that one of the young campers does is calls out Marz’s name – precipitating a terrifying night of murder, mayhem and sexy Jacuzzi vignettes!
Inspired by the same Cropsey urban legend which informed 1981’s The Burning and starring Dawn of the Dead’s Gaylen Ross (appearing under the pseudonym ‘Alexis Dubin’), Madman stands as one of the finest offerings from the golden age of hack ‘n’ slash.
'One of the All-Time Drive-In Movie Classics!'
On the last night of summer camp, the story is told of 'Madman Marz' - a berserk local farmer who butchered his entire family before disappearing into the woods forever. You must not say his name above a whisper the legend says, because if he hears you, he will come for you. But when a cocky young teen ridicules the tale and calls the madman's name out loud, the maniacal evil is unleashed. Summer may be over, but the ferocious bloodshed has just begonè
A long-time favorite of hardcore horror fans, 'Madman' stood out from the pack of '80s 'body count' films by delivery scary suspence, gruesome effects and sheer nastiness including its infamous 'head under the car hood' scene!
