Lumberjack Man is a 2015 American comedy horror slasher film, written and directed by Josh Bear. The film was part of the 2015 After Dark Films "8 Films to Die For" line-up.
As the staff of Good Friends Church Camp prepares for a spring break filled with "Fun Under the Son", a demonic logger rises from his sap boiler to wreak his vengeance and feast on flapjacks soaked in the blood of his victims.
Prior to the release of the film, a viral marketing campaign was launched, which was reported by ShockTillYouDrop.com, now known as ComingSoon.net, and Internet personality and filmmaker James Rolfe. The marketing featured the sending of packages in the form of file boxes from the Shirtcliff Wellness Center, marked as classified by Dr. Peter Shirtcliff, a character in the film played by Michael Madsen. The packages contained a box of pancake batter, a torn shirt cloth, a trophy for a 1919 flapjack festival, a newspaper clipping about a mass murder murder incident taking place in 1919, and promotional photos.
The film premiered in Los Angeles, California on August 11, 2015 and in theaters on October 16, 2015.
Dread Central's Ari Drew gave the film three stars, considering the film fun but lacking in writing and technical capabilities. Slasher.Club writer McConnaughay condemned Lumberjack Man as a "nonsensical, ultimately bad film with occasional charm dispelled by terrible characters."
