Considered by some to be an unsung slasher classic, MADMAN follows the lives (and gruesome deaths) of six counselors working at the North Sea Cottages for Gifted Children during the chilly month of November. After hearing the tale of Madman Marz, the local psycho who murdered his family and who will supposedly appear if his name is called loudly enough, one unfortunate victim tempts fate by doing exactly that.

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.

Standard summer camp slasher stuff. Genre fans might dig the gore.
