★★★1/2 out of ★★★★★
A sad and bleak little independent coming-of-age story of a would-be little urban vampire, whose pushes back against his miserable life in the New York ghetto in a very strange and sociopathic way.
If yer' anything like yer pals at the Scariest Things Podcast you've got a broad cinema palette and an ever broader tolerance for the profane, the vile, and the fart joke. Good news! There's now a streaming service that seamlessly blends all that gory goodness together in a horrifying smoothie called TROMA NOW!
An absolutely brutal looking movie to "look forward to" in 2019. The big takeaway: If you are a crime scene cleaner, make sure the criminal has been caught before you start your work.
★1/2 out ★★★★★ If you have a conventional sense of social norms.
★★★★ out of ★★★★★ if you are a Troma fan and appreciate trashy and depraved satire.
Inensity: 🩸🩸 for scatalogical nastiness
Lloyd Kaufman and team Troma return to their Shakespearean roots and turn this loose-bowel take on The Tempest into a skewering of the social norms of today's culture. This is the strongest, funniest, and most consistent Troma film I have seen since the '80s Troma glory days but it also pushes the censorship limbo bar so low that there may not be room to go more lowbrow than this.
