Why you simply have to love this movie. *SPOILERS*
Okay...so we all know that Madman is not a great film. It's not even a particularly good film. It is this awfulness that makes Madman a classic. I personally think that there should be an entire genre of film composed of movies that you have to get drunk and make fun of. If there were such a genre, Madman would definatly be at the top of the list.
Think of all of the amazingly ridiculous elements to this film:
1. A group of students and councelors are away at a summer camp in the middle of November.
2. Said camp has almost a one on one ratio of councelors to campers.
3. They tell the story of Marz on a night "just like the night he murdered his entire family...in fact it was this exact night 12 years ago" Come on....I've read stories written by 3rd graders that are more original than that. No only that, but the house that it all happened in is quite literally a stone's throw away from the campfire.
4. The horrible (ghost story?) song that TP sings.
5. Ritchie sneaking around in the dark all night, completely unafraid. I don't know many adults, let alone a teenager, that would be brave enough to follow a large hairy man with an axe into an abandoned house.
6. The weird scene near the fire, where the councelor Doug asks them how they are so sure that he isn't a homicidal maniac. Creepy Doug.
7. The fact that Ellie has no upper lip and her boyfriend probably starred in a few gay porns. Gaylen Ross could be a stand in for a pug and TP has possibly the hairiest a*s I've ever seen.
8. The simian love scene in the hot tub. I now know what it looks like when a monkey gets turned on. And the corresponding music. Absolute Perfection!
9. The fact that each of the councelors goes into the woods, one by one, to search for the last councelor that went into the woods alone and never returned.
10. Interrupting two people that are having sex in a tent, and telling them not to "rush...but hurry." What the hell does that mean?
11. The same girl getting her head chopped off by the hood of a car. The amazing special effects.
12. The sound of the car that can't turn over because the same girl's head is stuck in the engine. Porn boyfriend telling no upper lip not to look. No upper lip looking and screaming like a b**tch.
13. The slow speed car crash that somehow manages to open up the passenger door of the car and eject no upper lip.
14. Hiding in a fridge is dangerous, you could suffocate. Not finding the person that has thrown the food from the fridge all over the floor in front of the fridge, priceless.
15. Gaylen Ross blowing no upper lip to pieces with a shotgun!
16. Abandoning a group of young kids while being stalked by a homicidal sasquatch, to go find your friends.
17. The fact that Marz looks less like a person and more like big foot.
18. The closing credits.
And the list could go on and on. Who else agrees, and what is your favorite thing to make fun of about Madman?
