Madman (DVD)
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. Soon enough, the inevitable happens, and bloody, axe-grinding mayhem ensues.R"

A documentary crew is fascinated by the charismatic, unrepentant serial killer whose crimes they set out to objectively chronicle. But as the violence escalates, they become more and more complicit in his shocking actions. A disturbingly low-key satire of the connection between violence and the media.
