Mad Heidi is out for vengeance in trailer for ‘Swissploitation’ splatter fest

May 27, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Raven Banner has released a trailer, poster and images for Mad Heidi, the world’s first ‘Swissploitation’ movie, and based on the character Heidi from author Johanna Spyri’s classic children’s books.

Directed by Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein, the film centres on Heidi (Alice Lucy), a young woman living a simple life in the Swiss Alps who is forced to defend herself when she is abducted by brutal government troops, and sets out to take down the tyrannical regime and free her country from the heinous cheese fascists. Watch the trailer below…

In a dystopian Switzerland that has fallen under the fascist rule of an evil cheese tyrant (Casper Van Dien), Heidi (Alice Lucy) lives a pure and simple life in the Swiss Alps. Grandfather Alpöhi (David 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.

Mad Heidi arrives in US cinemas on June 21st.
