The Movie:

A low budget anthology film made on 16mm in the late eighties on location in Florida, giving it that quirky local film flavor that makes so many low budget oddities as interesting as they are, Where Evil Lives hasn't ever been easy to see. For better or worse, Troma has picked it up for distribution and now Claude Akins (this was his final film) swansong picture can finally be viewed in all its cruddy, fullframe glory!

When the movie begins, a wealthy man named Blake Rutherford II (James Coffey) meets a female real estate agent in front of an aging mansion called The Spencer House whose history dates back over a hundred years. As she deals with some business he strikes up a conversation with the friendly caretaker, Jack Devlin (Akins), who relays to him some of the horror stories that surround the origins of the building.

The first storyline tells us of one...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Chillers is one of those movies that brings back memories, so forgive me ahead of time while I indulge myself in the first person and stroll down memory road. The movie, as low budget and goofy as it is, had one of those VHS covers that used to leap out at me as a kid while roaming the horror section of Jumbo Video in Niagara Falls. It stuck in this young viewer's mind and made a much stronger impression than it would have if viewed as an adult. Nostalgia is a powerful thing and it does tend to let us revisit certain movies and TV shows as an adult through, shall we say, rose tinted glasses. Chillers was an anthology film that, in my younger days, successfully scared the crap out of me and the half a dozen or so friends who had all gathered in a basement, VCR humming away, to watch it. Revisiting it recently made me realize just how bad my taste was in films whe...Read the entire review

The Movie:
One would think that a film with the monosyllabic title of Kill would be a simple, straightforward film. And this barebones, micro-budget Canadian horror film is certainly that. Unfortunately, the combined strains of its miniscule resources and cast of mostly first time actors cause it to be, though a creditable effort, ultimately a failure.

The premise is basic and familiar: six young people, three men and three women, wake up in a strange house, with no memory of how they got there. All are dressed in white tee shirts and slacks, with no shoes. At first they are bewildered, unsure of what is going on. Soon, however, they begin to realize that they are trapped in the house, and the subjects of an insidious game in which they must attempt to kill one another. The survivor is promised their freedom, and to be reunited with their loved ones.

While it doesn't take lon...Read the entire review

Thanks to geek culture, references to the things you love has become the most boring element of film. Like a snake eating its own tail, every bit of popular culture that catches the eye of the public at large is consumed and regurgitated to the exact same people. Filmmakers who want nothing more than to recreate the experience of seeing something new and wildly inventive end up robbing future audiences of that very experience by trying to emulate it, without any of the invention or flair that went into the original creation. And B-horror fans have it the worst: not only is horror already a genre that lends itself to amateur filmmaking, given how cheap it is to mix up a batch of fake blood and shoot something in the woods, but now even the potential that someone might d...Read the entire review

The Movie:
Let's face it, clowns are creepy. Even with no John Wayne Gacy associations or murderous intent, the average, walking around clown gives a lot of people the willies. And when you present a fictional world in which, rather than being a tiny percentage of the population, most people are clowns, who never take off their makeup or floppy shoes, and then add in a serial killing clown, the ante is upped considerably. That's exactly what the producers of Klown Kamp Massacre have done, and as fans of the slasher genre might be able to surmise, they do it with lots of boobs and blood, but almost no subtlety.

Klown Kamp Massacre has a large ensemble cast, but if anyone could be identified as the main protagonist, it would be Philbert (Ross Kelly). Philbert is a classic, goofy clown, with big shoes and fright wig, and along with his compatriots, he signs up for a grueling...Read the entire review

The Movie:
Jessicka Rabid can be difficult to watch at times. There's rape, forced incest, more rape, brutal violence, and the constant degradation and humiliation of a mentally retarded young woman. On the other hand, the filmmakers clearly have talent, and have put together an exceptionally authentic looking paean to the grind house exploitation films of the seventies.

Jessicka (Elske McCain, who also produced and helped with the story) is the mentally challenged, but surprisingly beautiful young woman in question. She lives with her cousin Brad (Jeff Sisson) and Marley (Trent Haaga), also apparently a relation, who lock her in a dog cage in the garage when they don't want to be bothered with her, and generally treat her as if she were a semi-annoying pet, complete with dog collar and leash and relieving herself in the back yard. Except that they also each have sex with her wh...Read the entire review

The Movie:
With a name like Not Another B Movie, one would expect the film to be a lowbrow spoof of B horror films. And it is, sort of. But it is also (or at least, tries to be) a thoughtful dramatic meditation on the seamier side of exploitation horror production, and the people who are involved in it. These two themes, literally jammed together by the film's unique presentation, don't mesh very well, and leave us with two disparate halves that don't work as well as they should.

Byron (Byron Thames) is a talented screenwriter who has been forced by circumstance to write horribly clich d exploitive dreck. He is joined in a restaurant to do some brainstorming on his latest feature by director Larry (Larry Thomas, most famous for playing the Soup Nazi on Seinfeld) and producer James (James Vallo). The film proper is just these three sitting at their table discussing the new project...Read the entire review

The Movie:
Psycho Sleepover, as one might be able to deduce from the title, is a film long on blood and breasts, and short on substance. That doesn't mean it couldn't be lots of fun for the right audience, but the low budget and schlockiness will tend to restrict its appeal.

Poor Debbie Dicky (Rachel Castillo). First, she has to kill her boyfriend, who turns out to be a serial killer who tries to add her to his list of victims. Then her dad dies, and it turns out he was a serial killer too. She is generally shunned at school after this, and goes slightly goth, but thinks she might be turning a corner a year later when three of the most popular girls in school invite her to a sleepover. But Ginny (Emilia Richeson), Sally (Ariel Teal Toombs) and Ugly Jen (Frankie Frain, a man) might not be as friendly and innocent as they first appear.

The three girls also invite their boyfriends o...Read the entire review

Lloyd Kaufman's Produce Your Own Damn Movie!:
Troma Entertainment presents this third installment in the Your Own Damn Movie DVD series, which can be augmented by a series of books, or even purchased in book and DVD boxed sets. It should be clear these materials are intended to educate Troma fans in the ways of making their own damn movies. As a building block in a nicely packed bag of educational forms, Kaufman's contributions can't be minimized, but even for casual fans of indie films, this 2 Disc DVD set is quite entertaining.

Having not read the books, I can't comment on their content, but I can say that this voluminous collection of interviews with producers and directors - both established and upstarts - is jammed with useful information and inspiration. From David Cronenberg to Roger Corman, and to the Duplass Brothers, with stops on the way for visits with guys like H.G. Lew...Read the entire review

Debbie Rochon Confidential: My Years in Tromaville Exposed:
It's hard not to approach a Troma DVD without at least a little gee-whiz cynicism. Head Honcho Lloyd Kaufman practically insists on it during his 'Crazy Larry' introductions, or most any other time he appears on camera. But how does this forearming play out when watching something like Debbie Rochon Confidential: My Years in Tromaville Exposed? Can you be Tromatized by a Troma career retrospective? Well, of course you can!

Since 1974, Kaufman and Michael Herz have been New York's answer to John Waters, sorta. Producing and distributing independent horror films, mostly, the company has been known for pissing all over every possible taboo, and pushing the envelope by cramming it with 10 pounds of stinking pig intestines, before shoving the whole thing into an orifice on some poor, underage Southeast Asian sex slave. But Troma ...Read the entire review

The Movie:
It's difficult these days to put a fresh spin on the tried and true slasher genre. Independently produced Killer Yacht Party makes the attempt, but other than being set on a yacht, as the title implies, there's not much that's original here.

Lacy (Becky Boxer) is an experienced L.A. party girl, wearing the right slinky dresses and stiletto heels, knowing the right people, on the right lists. Her frumpy friend Jane (Maggie Marion) is an aspiring song writer who has just moved to L.A. from the boring Midwest. Lacy wants to show Jane the ins and outs of the party scene, and drags her along to every party she can think of. While at one of these soirees, Lacy catches the eye of club promoter Brock (Eric Clark), and gets the pair an invite to an exclusive shindig on a yacht the next night. There is something of a problem, however. On the yacht's maiden voyage, there was a fire, ...Read the entire review

The Movie:
A name like Eyes of the Chameleon calls up images of the Italian giallo genre, with its blood drenched serial killers pursuing oversexed young women. While its title hints at such a relationship, and there is indeed much blood and a few oversexed young women, Eyes of the Chameleon doesn't really do justice to the genre, and ends up rather weak.

Sara (Ann Teal) is a Las Vegas bartender who seems lost in the world. Her relationship with boyfriend Steve (Danny Countess) isn't going anywhere. She's listless and bored, perhaps tired of life. On a lark, she goes to visit a fortune teller with her friend Rachael (Laurie Zetts), and somehow manages to get cursed. Things begin to decline from there, and Sarah's life really goes off the rails.

One by one, Sara's friends start to get murdered, slashed with a knife, sometimes tortured prior to death. And Sara is strange...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Piotr Uzarowicz's Killer Yacht Party started life as Dead In The Water, a better name by anyone's standards but Troma has picked up the title and released under the more sensationalist moniker on DVD. The film follows Jane (Maggie Marion) who relocates from a small town in the Midwest to the bustling metropolis of Los Angeles where she hopes her burgeoning music career will get the shot in the arm that it needs. Here she hangs out with her friend Lacy (Becky Boxer), a party girl who knows all the clubs and who is determined to use that knowledge to get her friend a man. Jane's not all that interested in being set up, but Lacy isn't taking no for an answer and when Lacy is invited to a fancy party by one of the club owner's she knows that's taking place on his yacht, there's no way she isn't dragging Jane along for the ride.

The girls arrive at the destina...Read the entire review

There's a fine line between greed and business savvy, and Lloyd Kaufman is a man who knows how to walk that line. In the grand tradition of DVDs starring recently deceased actors immediately materializing in Wal-Mart $5 bins and selling commemorative plates, Kaufman has unearthed an obscure 1989 drama by Adam Rifkin called Tale of Two Sisters with voice-over narration by the one and only Charlie Sheen. Designed to capitalize on his fifteen minutes of fame (in the truest sense, too -- has anyone risen and fallen from the top of pop culture faster?), the DVD cover art is nothing but Sheen's face, despite the fact that the movie really is a tale of two sisters reuniting for the first time in years.

Digging a little deeper, the boastful claim that the movie is "from the mind, poems, and DNA of Charlie Sheen" is actually slightly less dishonest than it sounds. Although Sheen never appears on screen...Read the entire review

REVIEW
When a DVD has the names "Troma" and "Herschell Gordon Lewis" on the cover any seasoned film fan should have precise and clear-cut expectations of what the content will be like.

Troma consistently provides a maniacal catalog of subversive films awash in blood/gore/boobies and Mr. Lewis, well he's an icon, a genre god known reverentially as "The Godfather of Gore" responsible for some of the most memorably twisted films of the 1960s and early 1970s (The Wizard of Gore, anyone?). The required lather-rinse-repeat formula of blood, gore and humor - seemingly shot as cheaply as possible - will be the order of the day. There is a faithful film cult that naturally gravitates towards this kind of specialized material, and if it's not you then I'll come right out and say that The Chainsaw Sally Show: Season One from director Jimmyo Burril is not for you, nor will it ever ...Read the entire review

The Movie:
The revenge narrative is one of the most powerful archetypal stories in literature. Variations abound, and if done well, there are few tales more emotionally satisfying. Writer / director Adrian Santiago tries his hand at the genre in the low budget, Texas produced film Grim, but handles it clumsily, and fails to achieve anywhere near the impact it could have had.

Nicholas Grim (Christopher Dimock and Jack Pinder, who plays the young Grim) saw his parents murdered before his eyes by members of the United American Brigade, a group thugs who take it upon themselves to restore order in Texas after an economic apocalypse has collapsed the government. Mostly, they just pimp and fight and carouse, and extract protection money from the hapless citizens. Grim is taken in by Alan and Emma Rose (Todd Gable & Mary Winchester), and raised as their adopted son, teaching him ab...Read the entire review

As far as true crime stories go, it's got a good hook: it's 1988, and a naked man wearing a dog collar is found wandering the streets of Kansas City. When questioned, the man, Chris Bryson, leads them to the home of Bob Bedella, a serial killer who kidnapped, raped and killed several victims before one managed to escape. The documentary itself has a good hook as well: true crime writer James Ellroy, the author of L.A. Confidential and The Black Dahlia will be the host. Sadly, the end product, Bazaar Bizarre, is hampered by a schizophrenic tone that stems from indecisive waffling between graphic re-enactment footage and solid documentary thrills.

The film opens with Ellroy, coldly talking about the psychology of serial killers and psychopaths. Ellroy's contributions are almost hilariously bombastic, insisting that the viewer have no remorse for Berdella in an almost insistently pu...Read the entire review

The Movie
True story: Two months ago, I joined nine friends on a weekend getaway for the New Year holiday. We headed to a semi-secluded cabin in the woods, nestled in the outskirts of the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. It was a destination I had no part in choosing, my reasoning made clear as I commented upon entering the rickety wooden house for the first time: "Which one of us gets slaughtered by a machete-wielding murderer first?"

It drew laughs from my friends, but I was actually half serious. My fear was personified at night when I had to sleep on a couch (my reward for being single), which faced the giant window by the pathetically "secured" front...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Benjamin Meade probably had the best of intentions when he set out to make a film about a serial killer named Robert Berdella, famous for raping, torturing and killing at least a half a dozen men in Kansas City, Missouri in the mid eighties. The facts surrounding the case are certainly salacious enough to make for a pretty interesting movie and given that, unlike certain crimes, it hasn't been done and done again in the movies, there was ample opportunity for a low budget filmmaker like Meade to put together a pretty interesting movie on the subject. Getting famous crime writer James Ellroy onboard also seemed like a plus, but the decision to basically just shoot him on the couch rambling kind of takes the excitement out of his participation.

When Berdella was caught by the cops, they found all manner of evidence in his possession that linked him to a whole lot of other nas...Read the entire review

The Show:
The Chainsaw Sally Show isn't exactly high art, and it isn't intended to be. Barely sketched plots, mediocre acting and silly dialogue aren't considered important when there's gratuitous nudity and arterial spray to showcase.

Based on an earlier film, the show consists of eleven episodes of around twenty minutes each, and one "very special episode" that runs at fifty two minutes. Written, directed and edited by Jimmyo Burril and starring his wife April Monique Burril as the eponymous Sally, and the couple's daughter Lilly as Poe, Sally's assistant at the library. Yes. Chainsaw Sally, multiple murderer and scourge of tiny Porterville, Maryland, is the town librarian. Of course, she brutally killed the previous librarian, essentially for rudeness, in order to get the job. She is Chainsaw Sally after all.

The series chronicles the shenanigans and violent fun that Sall...Read the entire review

The Movie:

This micro-budget 16mm feature from director Rolfe Kanefsky was made for peanuts and released in 1990. It originally appeared on DVD from Image Entertainment back when that label was a hot spot for cult related oddities but has been out of print for some time. Enter Troma who have stepped up to the plate just in time for the film's twentieth anniversary and released it once again, this time in an extras-laden two disc set with more supplements relating to this film and its director than any one sane person could actually really want. But what's the movie all about? Let's start with that.

Like so many horror movies before it, There's Nothing Out There tells the story of a group of young people, seven of them in total, who decide to head out to a cabin in the middle of nowhere for some rest, relaxation, drinking and copulation - you know, all those things that teens i...Read the entire review

The Movie:
Australian vampire film A Nocturne strives to be a meditative and thoughtful yet sexy addition to the genre. Its sparse storyline is weighted with deep meaning and implication. Unfortunately, that meaning is largely hidden from the audience, and leads to at least as much frustration and tedium as entertainment.

The film mainly focuses on a vampire couple Z (Alex Spears) and X (Vanessa de Largie), which if the credits didn't identify the audience would be hard pressed to deduce. Like most of the other characters, their names are never uttered on screen. Conveniently, Z has a letter "z" tattooed on his neck, and X has sports a similar marking. They are apparently very old, and quite a bit world weary. They do little besides wander around the city, stare meaningfully into space and kill people. (During one killing session, they strip nude, but not during other killings. ...Read the entire review

For the most part, I use the DVD cover artwork and synopsis provided by Amazon (which is included in every DVDTalk listing) to determine what titles I should take, but in the case of Pep Squad, I'd just seen the trailer on Troma's YouTube channel. The premise seemed pretty simple: a girl doesn't get nominated for prom queen, gets angry, and starts picking off everyone who does. Confusingly, the feature film manages to complicate this idea beyond recognition, adding in a second through line that rendered a story I already understood hard to follow in terms of motivation and logic. Writer/director/producer/editor Steve Balderson (one of three Baldersons who played major parts both in front of and behind the camera) may have a laser-precision-like grasp on tone and at least four perfectly-cast actors, but everything else here is a little...vague.

The film opens with Cherry, the slighted girl in q...Read the entire review

The Movie:

Made in 1999 to cash in on Baz Luhrman's theatrical release of Romeo + Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Troma's Tromeo And Juliet is another in the studio's long line of crasstastic films chock full of sex, violence, humor and gross out moments. Directed by Lloyd Kaufman and co-written by James Gunn (who would later write Scooby Doo and the Dawn Of The Dead remake in addition to directing Slither) it's equal parts clever social satire, base exploitation and bizarre juvenility but somehow it manages to all come together.

Set in the New Jersey of the late nineties, the film tells the story of two families, the Ques and the Capulets who, after a dispute over some sex film distribution rights, wind up in a nasty and ongoing feud. In the middle of this family feud is Tromeo Que (Will Keenan), a young man who loves pornography and spends a lo...Read the entire review

The Movie:

It's Bay Of Blood (or, by default, Friday The 13th if you prefer) meets Long Weekend in this slow burn, atmospheric horror film from Scotland. Directed quite skillfully by Marc de Launay, this isn't the type of film that surprises you with jump scares or flashy gore but rather one that creeps up on you with subtlety and unsuspected menace.

The film follows a family headed up by a middle aged woman named Jane (Vanya Eadie) and her two kids, a snotty teenage daughter named Chloe (Imogen Turner) and her younger brother, Sean (Callum Warren-Brooker). They're joined by Jane's meek boyfriend, a tall gangly guy named Alex (Len McCaffer), and it's obvious that Chloe isn't keen on mom's new man even if Sean seems okay with him. At any rate, the four are off for a stay at their grandmother's Oceanside home, a beautiful stately old stone manor on a remote section...Read the entire review

The Movie:
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's released by Troma. Dark Nature is a subtle, thoughtful film. A slasher film, yes, but a subtle and thoughtful one. It moves at its own pace, which might be annoying if one is looking for a whiz bang, explosion filled thriller. But this low budget offering does quite well enough without them.

Jane (Vanya Eadie) is a middle aged divorcee with a couple of kids and a new boyfriend just trying to have a relaxing weekend with a trip to her mother's isolated coastal home. Things are complicated by the decidedly difficult daughter Chloe (Imogen Turner) and Jane's lackadaisical relationship with boyfriend Alex (Len McCaffer). Oh, and her mother was murdered by her stepfather in the first scene, and he himself was subsequently murder a few minutes later by an unseen person. Ignorant of her parents' death, Jane and family arrive to an empty house...Read the entire review

The Movie:

The brainchild of one time Troma editor Richard W. Haines, Class Of Nuke 'Em High was originally going to be directed by him as well, though when the fledgling filmmaker found himself in too deep, head honcho Lloyd Kaufman came on board to help out. As such, the film has Kaufman's stamp all over it, meaning that those who appreciate the sense of humor and style of filmmaking that made The Toxic Avenger the classic that it is should find much to love about this film.

Set, like most of Kaufman's films, in Tromaville the film begins when a leak from the nearby nuclear power plant infects the water supply of Tromaville High School. As the waste infects the area, strange things start to happen, beginning with the transformation of a previously meek, nerdy student into a slathering maniac who eventually jumps out the window of his classroom to his death.

The Movie:

Jack Sullivan (Todd Cox) has recently come home from the service. His wife has left him to try her luck as an actress and his father has passed away, so he takes his young daughter, Charlie (Brooke Beckwith) to live in the home that his father left him. They drive to the small Ohio town and soon meet up with Jack's old pal, Bob (Bob Gray), now the town sheriff. As they get reacquainted and Jack and Charlie settle into their new digs, strange things start to happen. After Jack drops Bob off from a night of drinking, he sees a giant hairy creature that looks like bigfoot hanging out on his front lawn.

Jack tells Bob about it but the sheriff isn't so sure that his fears are real. Thankfully the cute park ranger in the goofy brown pants, Sandy Parker (Liza Foster), has got no shortage of mangled deer and animal carcasses to support Jack's story. It does seem that there's somet...Read the entire review

At one point, in one of his commentary tracks, filmmaker Yakov Levi notes that he never wanted to be Kubrick, and that he wanted to be John Waters. Thus, he never shoots for art when making his movies, he uses prostitutes and drug addicts instead of actors and he never tries too hard. The results speak for themselves, as you have a collection of films that are slapdash and unusual, with a healthy dose of WTF.

Troma's War:
Hailed as and quite obviously Troma's highest-budgeted feature, (possibly even to this day) Troma's War is one weird, misguided exploitation movie. Well, it's not that misguided; released in 1988, the movie's a cheeky denouncement of Reagan-era warmongering. It looks pretty relevant today, too (with the added strange twist that it also eerily resembles ABC's series Lost) - but considering the US has been at war with somebody or other since 1941, this is not a difficult connection to make. What is difficult to understand is the tone, delivery and reasoning behind Troma's War. Obviously Troma isn't known for making serious art, but this half-hearted attempt at legitimacy is constantly hampered by its 'Tromatic' elements. It's weird, confusing fun, but probably only for serious - and seriously forgiving - Troma aficionados.

The Movie:

Directed by Philippe Mora and starring a feisty, young Dennis Hopper, Mad Dog Morgan (originally release as, simply, Mad Dog which is what the title card for this release reads) cast the actor in the lead role during a strange time in his career. After The Last Movie flopped, he went and did some odd low budget and foreign projects, this being one of them. That said, this quirky Australian film set during that country's gold rush and based on a true story is one of Hooper's best efforts as an actor.

Set during the mid 1800s, we meet an Irishman named Daniel Morgan who has joined plenty of other people in heading to Australia from his homeland to hopefully make a fortune panning for gold. Morgan is a bit of a hothead, however, and after getting on the wrong side of the law, after smoking a lot of dope and committing armed robbery. He winds up in a pr...Read the entire review

Full disclosure: I haven't seen Aiden Dillard's 2006 Meatweed Madness, and while it's probably not essential that you do to understand the film (relatively speaking), it probably couldn't hurt as there appears to be some continuity in regards to that earlier picture.

So yeah, Aiden Dillard made a film a few years ago called Meatweed Madness and shortly after followed it up with this sequel, Meatweed America, a movie filled with enough sex, drugs, and wackiness to send any puritanical viewers running to the hills. As over the top as anything else Troma has put out (and that's saying something), this isn't a movie that's in the least bit concerned with appeasing a mainstream audience so much as it is with flipping them off.

The plot, such as it is, follows a young woman named Jessie Bell (Carey Sveen) who lives at Meatweed Manor where a w...Read the entire review

Recently, I volunteered to review the indie comedy Creating Karma for Boxoffice.com. The press notes boasted that writers Jill Wisoff and Carol Lee Sirugo decided to give up trying to find comedic roles for women and take matters into their own hands by writing one themselves, a cause I thought I might be able to get behind. Unfortunately, the film turned out to be a serious competitor for the worst movie I've ever seen. Over the course of seven or eight grueling hours, I slowly, forcibly dragged myself to the end of the 90 minute film, often groaning out loud at each painfully exaggerated facial expression, each amateurish Windows Movie Maker transition and each excruciatingly unfunny joke.

One week later, I started watching The Sexy Box, a collection of early Troma sex comedies (pre Toxic Avenger!), and a confusing cloud of d j vu settled over me. The four films in this set --...Read the entire review

It's tough being negative on what was obviously a labor of love for those involved with its release, but The Hanging Woman (1973), a Spanish horror-mystery featuring beefy genre heavyweight Paul Naschy in a supporting role, is a big disappointment. This Troma Retro release is crammed with the kind of extra features one usually associates with Blue Underground or Mondo Macabro, but the heaping helping of mostly good supplements is let down by the poor transfer, a mediocre effort that seriously damages the viewing experience.

Details about the film are sketchy, to say the least. A Spanish-Italian co-production, it was released in Spain as La org a de los muertos and Italy as La orgia dei morti (both titles translate as "Orgy of the Dead") but, possi...Read the entire review
