Summary: BEWARE OF MADMAN MARS!!
Review: Overall,it was a pretty good movie,but there were a few things that annoyed me.First of all,that dorky kid in the beginning who was yelling,"madman mars,come and get us",never got killed.Second,the girls in this movie were really stupid!! The one scene that really got me was when they were on the bus and were being chased by the killer,this one girl told the bus driver to stop the bus because she wanted to get out to see if anybody else was dead!! Are you kidding me? Is anybody really that stupid? Anyway,it was a very entertaining movie and I would recommend it.

Summary: Worthy edition beside your Friday the 13th collection
Review: Takes place at a camp with counselors that are told about a story about Madman Mars and if you yell his name loud enough, he will come to get you. One loudmouth counselor does just that and all hell breaks loose. Mars is kind of creepy, but he is no Jason V.
A worthy edition to your slasher/horror collection.

Summary: Madman works, but...
Review: the acting is pretty bad. If it was better, this could have been a really scary film, but unfortunately the acting took away some of the films atmosphere, but it is still pretty spooky. Not a Friday the 13th rip-off, for one thing, instead of hormone driven teens, we have hormone driven 40 year olds, and that is frieghtening enough. It's kind of like The Fog, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Halloween (sort of), and Friday the 13th. To get scared in this movie, you do have to take it seriously, and try not to crack jokes about it. If you do that, then I'mn sure this will be an experience you won't forget anytime soon. Watch this one alone in the dark. The extra features on the disc are pretty good, and I'm surprised because a film like this usually doesn't get very good extra features. I hope my review has been helpful to you, and I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did.

Summary: The forgotten cult classic
Review: The first time I saw Madman was on a bad quality VHS release from a South African backdoor video store. It scared me then and it still scares me now, twenty years later. This is a sound horror flick with creative art direction and cinematography. From homage to direct creative theft, this motion picture is a best-of compilation with the most effective cinema tricks beautifully orchestrated to create a truely horrific motion picture. The down side is the "pornographic" acting and very weak dialogue. The characters all seem a little like clubbed seals and by the end of the flick, you are cheering the villain for putting them out of their misery. In parrallel to the cult classics, bad acting never seems to hamper a film's success or bottom line- especially in the Horror genre. This is a DVD any self-respecting horror fan should own. I would have preferred a better remaster and possibly more special features. The sound quality is fair as is the picture. Hopefully the studio can get it together for a more impressive 25th Anniversary edition.. I'll buy both.

Summary: MADMAN IS A CLASSIC CAMP FIRE MOVIE!
Review: This is a very origional movie. It has a great plot! Some of the acting is okay and some is very bad! But thats what you have to expect when you watch a stalker in the woods movie. It starts out around a campfire with 7 camp counselors and about 8 kids telling stories. the oldest counselor Max starts to tell the legend of "Madman Marz". It's about a crazy farmer who murdered his whole family with an axe while they were sleeping and then disappearing into the woods forever. Legend has it that if you say his name over a whisper he will come and hunt you down. Then a cocky teen says his name and the body count begins to rise. One by one the counselors begin to disappear. The best death scene is when madman marz cuts of a counselor's head while they're head is under the hood of the truck! Don't bet on who will live or die because you will be supprised. This is a great buy for those of you who enjoyed the Friday the 13th series.

Summary: Hilarious and Scary at the same time!
Review: This movie, like April Fool's Day, and Evil Dead II all had a perfect mix of scares and laughs. Some death scenes are funny, while others are rather shocking. It doesn't rip-off Friday the 13th that much, and I wonder why there wasn't a sequel, so someone better make one or else MADMAN MARZ will get you. Also try Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, and Bloody Murder. If you haven't seen Friday the 13th, see that first, alone in the dark, then watch the other ones the same way.

Summary: God save us from zombie farmers.....
Review: This was probably the most fun I've ever had with a bad movie. It starts off around a camp fire, where the enigmatic "T.P" is singing a pointless song that mentions dripping blood about fifteen times. Then, Max (evidently the camp sage) settles back and begins to tell the story of the Madman Marz. The Madman, it seems, is a big fat zombie farmer that butchered his own family, was hung for his crimes, and eventually rose from his own grave. His name is never supposed to be uttered above a whisper, blah, blah, blah. Well, of course, the camp pimple-head, Richie, screams the name of the Madman, thus summoning the devil of the campfire pantheon. I must also note that both Max and Richie, the two dorks responsible for the Madman's rampage, emerge unscathed at the end of the film.Everyone else gets croaked by the Madman, Friday the Thirteenth-style, though I suspect that Jason Vorhees was sitting somewhere off camera and shaking his hockey mask in disgust. There is no spuspense, because you already know who the killer is, and every appearance of the Madman is immediately preceded by the nefarious Madman Theme. The most noteworthy scenes: T.P. and Max both straining like a couple of sissies trying to get an axe out of a tree stump. The hot chub chase, where T.P. spends about twenty minutes chasing his less-than-lovely girlfriend around a hot tub. This scene is embellished with the worst "ballad" I have ever heard. The fireplace scene, where a profoundly unremarkable cast slouches around and spews desultory dialogue that makes me nestalgic for the ballad from the hot tub chase. The bus ride, where the one remaining protagonist has managed to get all of the camp kids on the bus, on their way to safety, and she actually gets out again to make sure that "everyone is dead." If you like watching bad movies, as I sometimes do, then this movie is something like the Holy Grail. Its full of clumsy, manufactured gore, horrible dialogue, and acting just a little shy of Manos: The Hands of Fate. I think this movie is great, I've seen it like thirty times. And it never fails in putting a smile on my face.
