Subversive to the nth degree, Troma Entertainment has made a name for itself by gleefully exposing filmgoers to all manner of gory, lewd and, above all, silly merriment since 1974, and the company has carried on with reckless – some would even say tasteless – abandon throughout the subsequent decades to cement its status as the forerunner in shlocktastic offerings that shock the masses and delight the company’s loyal followers.

Just watched it. I hold a lot of nostalgic love for Toxie and the Troma family but not enough to avoid wondering how they hold up to adulthood and more than a generation passing. I will place the credibility of my Lemmy account on the line to say: « Not only did they do justice to the original, I really enjoyed them in a similar way. Great tone, similar humour and gore, acting punched way above its weight class, supporting messages held up. Was a pleasure and so weird to have the opportunity to experience in a theatre. »

Great to hear it! Unfortunately, I haven't seen any cinemas around here showing it, I'll probably wait until it comes out on streaming.
