If Hugh Everett ever stumbled upon a parallel universe where Tiffany Ray had married Dolomite instead of Chucky then he would probably find that, on that universe's equivalent of Earth, Black Devil Doll would be the notorious gender-confused Glen/Glenda terrorising the masses. That would be an exceptionally more entertaining reality in which to exi... Click to read more "Black Devil Doll"
The title conjures up images of a vampire movie but, as with any Troma flick, you rarely get what you expect. Bloodsucking Freaks (aka The Incredible Torture Show) is not a trademark Troma slapstick comedy horror but an extremely depraved and embroidered exploitation flick that is not without it's very darkly humorous charms. As expected the movie ... Click to read more "Bloodsucking Freaks"
The Cabin in the Woods is a rarity in modern horror in that it gets a lot right. Directed by Drew Goddard (who also wrote the movie alongside Joss Whedon), it is apparent that his time writing and producing TV was well spent, mastering the art before delving into film. Whedon's influence is also very noticeable within the execution of the film, the... Click to read more "The Cabin in the Woods"
You have to give credit where credit's due, so fair play to Troma Entertainment: they have been trolling the mainstream Hollywood model for an impressive 35 years now. Whatever industry values, or suggested budgets, or base-line values of any kind mainstream cinema has tried to instill, Troma have been right there – quick to show that not only do ...

It is a rare occurrence that a comedy movie combines the correct ingredients to slip comfortably into the horror genus. British director Paul Andrew Williams manages to do this impeccably with The Cottage, and manages to take what starts as a bumbling crime caper seamlessly into a more traditional slasher movie without relying on lame humour so oft...

There are two words that can instantly grab my attention: Nazis & Zombies. And if you have both of these things in one movie, you have my UNDIVIDED attention.There's one thing you need to know before you watch this movie - it doesn't take itself very seriously. If you're looking for some underlying theme on the atrocities the Nazi committed or sold... Click to read more "Dead Snow (Død snø)"
It is a common occurrence for movies to be confused about their target audience. Having said that, it is not often that a movie's "target audience confusion" covers an entertainment spectrum spanning pre-teens, gore lovers and creepy perverts. Erotibot falls foul to this level of confusion but is able to run with it in a manner that will provide li... Click to read more "Erotibot"
Some so called film critics may regret having been so harsh on The Eye 2 after having seen The Eye 10 (Gin gwai 10). This movie is actually the third film in the "The Eye" series and is known as The Eye 3 in some parts of the world as well as The Eye: Infinity in other parts. It isn't officially known as The Third Eye in any parts of the world whic... Click to read more "The Eye 10 (Gin Gwai 10)"
Blasphemy, incest, butt rape, penis mutilation, drug use, excessive gore, superfluous titties, baby splattering and homosexual prostitution are tricky subjects to add a comedy angle to at the best of times. Troma is the obvious establishment to turn to when needs like this must and when the crazies at Astron-6 are holding the writing and directoria... Click to read more "Father's Day"
Charles Band's 2005 horror comedy, The Gingerdead Man, is a very typical, very insincere slasher with the bad guy quite literally falling out of the slasher flick cookie-cutter. From the offset it becomes obvious that this movie is not going to take itself seriously, the story is almost instantly ridiculous, the characters are quite exaggerated and...
