Any self respecting slasher fan would be MAD to give this gem a miss
"They'll never go out in the woods alone, ever again!" Madman is the tale of Madman Marz, a farmer who one night butchered his family. He was hung up for his hideous crimes but the following day his corpse had vanished. Say his name and, like Canyman a decade later, he will appear! And that is exactly what happens, over the course of a single night Marz stalks and slashes a summer camp group. Made in the Golden Age of the Slasher Movie Madman ticks all the boxes, though sadly the nudity is of the blink and you'll miss it variety. The pace is good and the film boasts plenty of splattery deaths, gory practical effects, none of that horrible CGI crap. The film starts off with campers sat around a camp fire, telling spooky tales, and ends with a Final Girl, nothing original in that sense. There are obvious comparisons with Friday the 13th and The Burning, they are both much better movies but Madman is good fun, I own it on DVD, VHS and now Blu-Ray, it looks great on the latter. Like The Burning Madman has no sequel. Some of the acting is rather weak (though not terrible), I liked the synth musical score though the soundtrack does feature a couple of really cheesy songs. Watch this late at night with the lights out and with a few beers, highly recommended.
