⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
A likable group of camp counselors run afoul of the super human psycho Madman Marz in this wonderful piece of campsite slasher horror. Mean as hell farmer Marz murders his family and is lynched by the locals shortly after. His body vanishes from the hanging tree and now local legend holds that he’s still lingering around his old stomping grounds. A song and a story about the legend inspires one cocky young camper to lunge a rock through the Marz estate window and shout out some challenges. Sure as hell, the madman returns and begins picking off the counselors. Is he a demon? A ghost? Some sort of zombie monster? It doesn’t matter because he has his own damn song and a big-ass axe. It follows the basics of the genre but for some reason has always felt a bit off which would explain why it’s a personal favorite. The lovely Gaylen Ross (billed here as Alexis Dubin) makes for a fine lead and the rest of the cast are memorable enough to not be wastes of space. The shadowy beast that is Marz is one memorable villain and the film follows a familiar yet strangely refreshing path. There’s also a death by car hood, so that’s pretty fantastic.
