When directors Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman set out to make a sequel for The Toxic Avenger, they wound up with over four hours of footage. Knowing that even the most die-hard Toxie fan might not survive the barrage of B-movie insanity, they decided to split the film...

Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman return with the follow-up to their dauntingly successful cult classic, The Toxic Avenger. Unfortunately, the satire isn’t as potent, the plot nearly as engaging, or the film nearly as satisfying as its forerunner. Aside from a handful of...

Troma Studios, a.k.a. the House that Toxie Built, is the renegade brainchild of Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman, the latter being the face of the company and, in appearance (as well as spirit), the lost brother of Mel Brooks (whilst housing serious strands of Cormian...

Here’s a pleasant surprise continuing the run of stand-out British horror films of the past few years (it’s OK, SPIRIT TRAP, we haven’t forgotten how shit you were). It’s a brisk, funny, riotously mean-spirited British taken on 80’s American supernatural slasher...

I saw the original Toolbox Murders a few years ago when it was first released on DVD and I enjoyed it. I figured if this so called "remake" (Which I can reassure you it's not a remake.) would probably be good. Well the movie is good for the most part. Do I like the...

There are obvious influences apparent throughout TOKYO ZOMBIE, from 80’s American horror comedies (the bickering male leads sometimes recall the comedy morgue workers in RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) to SHAUN OF THE DEAD. It’s a peculiar mix of throwaway character...

Destined for (and deserving of) major cult status, this insanely energetic, barely definable follow-up to MACHINE GIRL for uber-inventive make-up effects genius Yoshihiro Nishimura (here taking directorial reins for the first time) displays more deranged imagination...

Alright so Troy is not a Horror or Sci-fi film, and some can argue that it's not a fantasy film either, but the reason for my review is that it has an ancient fantasy feel to it. I loved every second of Troy, so of the best fighting scenes I've ever seen, and some of...

Just because I might have a film signed with the same company that got Tropix it's distribution does not mean I have to like the film. Right? Well opinions are like assholes like every knows and this asshole (me) has one about this film. Tropix reminded me of a bad...

There are hundreds of bad movies produced each year. In the horror genre this is always a problem. Every year we are faced with more bad horror flicks, most of them are direct to DVD that plagues our video stores and online rental houses. However, there are some films...

The true work of genius is the simultaneous creation of something that is both intellectually engaging as well as entertaining. However, if a filmmaker is attempting to do just this, or even the slightest portion of both, it is best to set one’s foundation with the...

Who would of thought that a film about a serial killer who not only is obsessed with Ronald Regan but dresses just like him would be so dam good. That's the case with The Tripper. Directed by actor David Arquette (Scream, Riding the Bullet) whom also co-wrote the film...

Here's a film where my explanation of why I liked this film and disliked it might confuse some people. TRILOQUIST is a film that at some points its good, other points it's really bad and then at some points it's so bad it's good. Does that make sense to you? Well if...

Dumped by its studio (Warner Bros) following an abandoned original release date of October 2007, this marvelously atmospheric old-school horror anthology from Bryan Singer collaborator Michael Dougherty (he wrote SUPERMAN RETURNS and X2 ; Singer is a producer here)...
