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.

8/10

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.

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?)

3/5

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.
