Five years in the making with a massive ground-up effort led by film duo Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein are calling on everyone who loves a good exploitation thriller for the upcoming release of Mad Heidi, a “Swissploitation” spoof of the classic childhood book character.
The first teaser is already making the rounds, prior to festival screenings at Brussels and Zurich, and now looks toward theatrical releases in Switzerland, Germany, Austria and France from November 24, before rolling out its full feature beginning December 8 at its official website.
In a dystopian Switzerland that has fallen under the fascist rule of an evil cheese tyrant, Heidi lives the pure and simple life in the Swiss Alps. Grandfather Alpöhi does his best to protect Heidi, but her yearning for freedom soon gets her into trouble with the dictator’s henchmen. The innocent girl transforms herself into a kick-ass female fighting force who sets out to liberate the country from the insane cheese fascists.
Mad Heidi hails from distribution banners A Film Company and Swissploitation Films and stars Alice Lucy, David Schofield, Casper Van Dien, and Max Rüdlinger. Catch the teaser above and the most recent poster below!
