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.

Critics Consensus

Solid entertainment for viewers with twisted tastes, Mad Heidi is a midnight movie classic in waiting.

It knows exactly what it is and who it’s for and it never pretends to be anything else.

2.5/5

With absolutely no pretensions that it’s anything but one big joke, the makers of "Mad Heidi" take the beloved character from children’s literature and turn her into a figure of vengeance.

I loved Mad Heidi. This could be a classic midnight movie.

A wink-of-the-eye film like Mad Heidi benefits from familiarity and claustrophobia.

7.5/10

A crazy film that deserves to garner a cult following - it’s bonkers, it's big, it's brash, and it’s definitely not perfect but it is a lot of fun (and who doesn’t like seeing the fascists get their comeuppance?)

All in all, it’s a fun romp. You’ve got great acting, great visuals and absurd scenes like execution by Toblerone, so it’s easy to recommend.

It was a dumb fun ride. The only thing I wish it used 50 gallons of blood and not 25 lol. If you like low budget movies from independent companies, then go watch this one.

The Swiss Cheesiest Movie Ever Made. All the Swiss tropes and all the over the top gore you can take. If you spend the movie wondering where this Ultra Swiss Cheese comes from then you sill not be disappointed.

It covered BLM, Fascism and TikTok cat ladies, but nothing about Climate Change, Palestine, and Covid. How dare they/them?

As someone from Switzerland, I confirm that this documentary is 100% accurate. No but seriously, great watch.
