Mad Heidi

[Screens Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. during the Screamfest® Festival that runs Oct. 11-20 at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles; for information, log on to screamfestla.com.] When a revenge-fueled, beautiful Swiss woman (Alice Lucy), who lives with her grandfather (David Schofield) in the Alps, witnesses a crazy, ruthless Swiss commandant (Max Rüdlinger) kill her cheesemaker Black lover (Kel Matsena) in Johannes Hartmann and Sandro Klopfstein's silly, absurd, groan-inducing, cliché-driven, gruesome, over-the-top acting, intermittently funny, violent, 92-minute satire highlighted by gorgeous scenery and unique costumes, mayhem ensues as she defends herself against a bunch of threats, including a psychopathic, tyrannical, cheese-loving president (Casper Van Dien) who hates lactose-intolerant people and a wacko warden (Katja Kolm), after being arrested and thrown into a prison with other inmates (Almar G. Sato, Julia Föry, et al.).
