Madman is a much better Slasher film than most people would care to admit. Sure, the film is derivative of other backwoods slashers such as Friday the 13th and The Burning, but this film is still a very entertaining, and fun Slasher with great kill sequences. Madman is an underra... read more

There is a grand total of 1 shot in this movie that I found effective, and that has a lot to do with smoke and back-light. I've seen EVERYTHING in this movie done before and done better. For complete-ists only.

Not a bad Friday the 13th rip-off, with some decent kills, even if they do lack a bit of blood. Beware the cheesy, cringe-worthy hot-tub scene though LOL! If you enjoy killer-in-the-woods slashers than this is well worth seeing. It also has a crazy but catchy theme tune too that'... read more

It's pretty ridiculous, but hey, it IS a slasher film. This is decent entertainment only if nothing else is on.

Fairly lifeless and uninteresting. Well shot, but not worth going out of your way to see.

Incredibly dumb, pathetic acting in the whole cast, bad editing, and rather boring at times, but earns extra points thanks to the spooky atmosphere, some cool death and funny moment but this is not enough to watch it.

B quality maybe, but still a good old fashioned horror flick. Kids at camp (no explanation) and a killer on the loose! Death, murder, mayhem and a touch of sex!
I enjoyed the show myself! -

First off it's a maniac in the woods flick "my favorite" .I liked the premise of the movie.
Does Madman Marz look cheesy ? a bit, yes, but that's ok the kills are good and its suspens... read more -

An okay pass at the slasher genre, but Madman Marz never quite gels as the killer, and the low budget atmosphere is pretty laughable at times.
Rental or cable at best.
Critic Reviews
Frightfully inept fright film. Full Review
Fits the '80s slasher blueprint to the letter. It's only adequately made, but it happens to feature a handful of scenes so knee-slappingly bad that the film ranks as a party favorite. Full Review
