It knows exactly what it is and who it’s for and it never pretends to be anything else. Go to Full Review

With absolutely no pretensions that it’s anything but one big joke, the makers of "Mad Heidi" take the beloved character from children’s literature and turn her into a figure of vengeance. Go to Full Review

A wink-of-the-eye film like Mad Heidi benefits from familiarity and claustrophobia. Go to Full Review

7.5/10
A crazy film that deserves to garner a cult following - it’s bonkers, it's big, it's brash, and it’s definitely not perfect but it is a lot of fun (and who doesn’t like seeing the fascists get their comeuppance?) Go to Full Review

All in all, it’s a fun romp. You’ve got great acting, great visuals and absurd scenes like execution by Toblerone, so it’s easy to recommend. Go to Full Review

Dan 06/23/2023 Enjoyed it alot the exploding heads and ripped open chest was excellent See more pradoa76 06/22/2023 It was a dumb fun ride. The only thing I wish it used 50 gallons of blood and not 25 lol. If you like low budget movies from independent companies, then go watch this one. See more George E Booker Tandy 06/22/2023 It was bright, fun, social and political statements made in an entertaining fashion. See more M. Eberly 06/22/2023 The Swiss Cheesiest Movie Ever Made. All the Swiss tropes and all the over the top gore you can take. If you spend the movie wondering where this Ultra Swiss Cheese comes from then you sill not be disappointed. See more Joerg G Jun 2 MAD HEIDI hardly try to be funny and grindhouse style but most of the time its not. Yes the idea with that cheesy Hitler is nice but the fx and the whole plot is cheesy and badly too...sorry See more Craig B @Boundsy 09/19/2024 Mad Heidi is absolutely bonkers. This is a crowd-funded movie which is a actually quite enjoyable. Ridiculous, gory action, with a smoking hot heroine (Alice Lucy as Heidi) and an over the top performance from Casper Van Diem (Starship Troopers) as a ruthless dictator. Don't take it too seriously and you'll probably enjoy the campiness of this crazy film. See more Read all reviews
