THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE ALONE. Gather around the campfire and hear the tale of Madman Marz: an ill-tempered old farmer who one dark night chopped up his wife and two children into pieces. When the locals caught wind of his heinous crime they meted out 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 of course the first thing that one of the young campers does is to call out Marz’s name – precipitating a terrifying night of murder mayhem and sexy Jacuzzi vignettes! Inspired by the same Cropsey urban legend which informed its slasher peer The Burning Madman stands as one of the very best of the camp-based terror flicks and was a clear influence on Hatchet Adam Green’s love letter to the slasher genre.
