«An entertaining mix of splatter, horror and western, dripping with blood and fun!» – Süddeutsche Zeitung
In a dystopian Switzerland that has fallen under the rule of a cheese magnate, Heidi lives as a simple young woman in the Alps. Grandfather Alpöhi does his best to protect his granddaughter from the dictatorship, but soon her yearning for freedom causes all hell to break loose. The naive girl must transform into a fierce fighter before setting out to liberate the country from the cheese fascists.
Mad Heidi is the first Swissploitation film! An exploitation flick that turns Switzerland’s most iconic cultural symbols into a violent, absurd action spectacle. Inspired by the tradition of grindhouse and cult cinema, it exaggerates alpine clichés, national myths, and the figure of Heidi into a rebellious story of resistance and unapologetic gore. The film blends satire, action, and over-the-top brutality to create a deliberately outrageous reimagining of a classic Swiss icon.
Starring Alice Lucy as Heidi, Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers, Sleepy Hollow), and David Schofield (Gladiator, Pirates of the Caribbean)
