Fathom Events, Raven Banner Releasing and Swissploitation Films are excited to present the premiere of the modern grindhouse epic Mad Heidi coming to theaters nationwide for a special one-night engagement on Wednesday, June 21 at 7:00 p.m. local time.
Mad Heidi is the feature film debut from Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein. It boasts plenty of gorgeous sets, disgusting gore effects, and more, making it the perfect tribute to grindhouse filmmaking.
Read the full synopsis:
In a dystopian Switzerland that has fallen under the fascist rule of an evil cheese tyrant (Van Dien), Heidi (Lucy) lives a pure and simple life in the Swiss Alps. Grandfather Alpöhi (Schofield) does his best to protect Heidi, but her desire for freedom soon lands her in trouble with the dictator’s henchmen. When pushed too far the innocent Heidi transforms into a kick-ass warrior who sets out to liberate her country from the heinous cheese fascists. Mad Heidi is an action-adventure exploitation extravaganza based on the popular children’s book character Heidi and the world’s first Swissploitation film.
Alice Lucy, Casper Van Dien, David Schofield, and Kel Matsena star in the film.
This limited screening also includes an exclusive introduction from Van Dien and Lucy, as well as co-directors Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein.
Mad Heidi will open on screens across the United States from Fathom Events. The film will also be available across Canada at select Cineplex locations. Get your tickets here.
