You smell that? There's nothing quite like Troma in the morning! Let's check out the delightfully disgusting:
I love Troma films. Absolutely love them!
What is it about starting my weekend mornings off with blood baths, breasts, guts, sex everywhere, flying limbs, scathing and witty social commentary, body juices all over the place, fire, exploding body parts, and just general chaos.
Who knows! That's between me and my therapist, I guess.
Here we have the classic tale of a small budget film crew and a serial killer on the loose. Everything goes bad. That's all you need to know, it's just nonstop bedlam, roll with it.
It's disgusting, it's so wildly disgusting and so wildly whip-smart - I found myself in laugh attacks while simultaneously recognizing the very real social commentary as body parts are flying around. In IMDB, there is a Trivia statement:
"This movie is also known as "One giant Tribute to all Troma films" as this film has many similarities to other Troma movies. Some actors with small parts in this movie were the leading characters in other Troma movies."
I couldn't agree more. It's a love letter to Troma films. It's a love letter to society misfits, outcasts, artists, the chaos of independent film making, and how we're all bonded in our love for the unusual, absurd, and calling out the hypocritical.
This film somehow reminded me of my days as a stage manager for a small independent theater company and I had to shout to the actors, "Could you please put some clothes on!" as I'm trying to wrangle them up for rehearsal and they're just running around half naked. Fond memories <3
That's all I'm going to say about this film. Walk into it blind, first thing on a weekend morning, like I did. If you are new to Troma films then there is absolutely nothing I can do to prepare you. It's a horror right of passage that must be done on your own.
Best watched on Sunday mornings. Pairs with friend eggs and hair of the dog of your choice.
I watched this film on Kanopy, or use the Find It! Watch It! links on Horror Habit's side bar to see where else you can catch this beautiful disruption of normality.
