A nerdy janitor, Melvin, is always annoying a group of bullies at the Tromaville health club. These bullies dont like nerds, and Melvin is the biggest of them all. One of the bullies girlfriends devises a plan to play a joke on him. the joke works like a charm and everyone in Tromaville is there to humiliate him. Melvin can't take it, so he runs away from the crowd and out of a window. He falls into a pit of toxic waste and changes from Melvin to THE TOXIC AVENGER!
 The Toxic Avenger hates crime and criminals, naturally. he manages to save a police officer from death, save children from speeding cars and even save a blind girl, who will later become his girl friend, from a group of robbers. The town of Tromaville loves the monster hero. but not everyone loves the Toxic Avenger. Corrupt town officials and the original band of bullies who caused the toxic avengers transformation better watch out.

This movie isn't for everyone. The Toxic Avenger has tons of gore for the horror fans. It also has alot of truly funny moments also. But what may be funny to me (such as two guys beating an old lady with her own walking stick, in a cheesy manner) is a riot, but others may be turned off by it. So, if you like Troma movies youll love this one, but if you're offended easily, find something else to watch.

For 20 bucks, this DVD, like most Troma movies, is well worth the price.

The Park Plaza Mall just introduced a state of the art new security system. Instead of security guards, this mall has "protector series 101" robots than patrol the mall after hours. All goes well till a storm rolls over the mall and lightning strikes the main computer system for the protectors. to make things worse a few employees of the mall decided to have a smal party in the mall this very same night. The protectors, thanks to the lightning bolt have become "Kill Bots" killing anyone in the mall.

If you want a fun b-horror movie, this is one that wont dissapoint. Nothing about this movie is serious at all. From the premise of Kill Bots to the actual musical score itself! If you want a serious horror movie go rent Salem's Lot, but if you want to have fun for 77 minutes this is the one. The special effects are less than great, as is the acting. The gore is not alot, but there is a "Certain" scene in the movie that won't dissapoint gore fans. This one scene is so good it gets replayed in the end credits!

A museum of natural sciences recieves a box of old artifacts from a recently murdered old woman. inside the box is a 3000 year old genie lamp.
The museums curator's daughter is in the museum with her class on a field trip. She and her friends decide to sneak back into the museum after it closes and spend the night.
in the process, the daughter unknowingly unleashes the genie from the lamp and begins its reign of terror in the museum.

I almost didn't watch this whole movie, because the first 50 or so minutes are so unnessisarily long, I couldn't take it. We only see a few murders and even they are less than stellar. I decided to continue on and boy was I happy I watched the whole thing!
The last half of movie is great, creative deaths, a good amount of blood and an awesome looking genie. However, all the blood and gore can't totally redeem the whole movie. Your generic teenage characters who you couldn't care less about, and most of the movie plays out like a bad teen drama TV show. It isn't till the kids sneak into the museum, that the movie actually entertains.

A thick creamy white goo bubbles out of the ground near a mine, and a worker decides to taste it. He likes the taste of this goo and has an idea that he could market this stuff to people and the rest is movie history.
This goo is named "The Stuff" and its the fastest selling dessert in North America! Stores can't keep it stocked and people keep eating it and eating it.
A rival ice cream company hires an ex-FBI agent named Mo to find out the secret of The Stuff. Mo comes to The Stuff factory and uncovers the horrible secret of The Stuff.
The Stuff takes over your body and makes you a zombie-like person, craving more and more of The Stuff!
Can mo stop The Stuff from taking over all of North America?

This is a great movie! Great believeable characters who you actually like and better than usual acting (for a horror movie anyway). One thing this movie gets right is the incorporation of humor. Most horror movies that have comedy in it go too far and it seems cheap, but all the humor (which isnt a large amount) works perfectly. The special effects used for some scenes with The Stuff are kinda cheap and you can tell blue screens were used, but what do you want for a '84 low budget horror movie?

A film crew of a low budget horror movie are in the making of their new movie "Terror Firmer" and being directed by a blind director played by Lloyd Kaufman himself!! All the meanwhile, a female serial or is that "cereal" killer is stalking over-sexed male victims. and its only a matter of time till terror firmer becomes reality.

The best troma film to date, even though to some that means nothing. This movie is their most offensive, graphic movie ever. In just the first 2 minutes of the movie we see limbs being pulled off bodies and fetus's being ripped out a mother womb. Oh man!!
With cameos by Ron Jeremy, Lemmy from Motorhead and those two guys from South Park. This movie has more gore, nudity and laughs, its almost too much for one movie!!
As with The Toxic Avenger, if your offened easily GO NO WHERE NEAR THIS MOVIE, BURN IT IF YOU SEE IT ON THE SHELF.
But if Troma is your bag buy this masterpiece right now!! if you thought The Toxic Avenger as offesive and sick this is 100 times worse (or better in this case :) )

THE BURNING

PLOT

A group of kids play a prank on the mean camp counselor, "Cropsy", but the prank goes wrong and Cropsy is set on fire. He is in the hospital for months with severe burns all over his body, Eventually he is released from the hospital. Years later, no one remembers Cropsy and camp goes on as usual. A group of older campers go on a canoe trip by themselves. That same night, Cropsy comes back for revenge.

REVIEW

An obvious Friday the 13th ripoff, but unlike other Friday ripoffs, this one is entertaining. Lots of gore, crappy acting, awesome killer and a young Jason Alexander. What more does a slasher movie need?
If you can get past the unoriginality of the movie, its worth viewing. The makeup is done by Tom Savini and that only helps. This film is also Holly Hunter's screen debut!

BAD TASTE

PLOT

Lord Crumb and an army of aliens have landed on earth for human samples to bring back for their own fast food chain in their home planet. The government finds out about this and sends in "THE BOYS" to find out more about these aliens. Can crumb and his army be stopped?

REVIEW

Not to heavy on plot, but really heavy on comedy and gore. While this Peter Jackson film isnt as bloody as his later movie, Brain Dead, Bad Taste can still hold its own. Nonstop action leaves very little time for explanations but very enjoyable to watch. Dont take this movie seriously and you"ll have a blast, since many things are illogical, but hey this isnt Silence of the Lambs and it isnt trying to be. If your familiar with Peter Jackson, you'll know what to expect.

REVIEW

I've heard so much about this movie before I actually saw it, I had low hopes for it. I was wrong. This is one of the best, and first slasher movies. there is almost no gore at all, but all the tension and suspene makes up for that a hundred times over. I'm not easily frightened by movies,, but this one did give me chills!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYONE.

LEGEND OF THE CHUPACABRA

PLOT

The legend of the chupacabra, translates into "goat sucker" is it foklore, consipracy or some weirdo in a suit? When the mutilation of her uncles goats (and her uncle) by the brutal chupacabra is caught on tape, Maria vows to find out despite local fear. With her crack team of students, and an ex-marine, Maria manages to make a ghastly revealing film / documentary.

REVIEW

More Troma goodness! bad acting, bad effects and one cheap looking chupacara mean only one thing, a fun movie. This is a Blair Witch ripoff that is more entertaining in the first 10 minutes than the "Witch" was in both movies. Although this movie does have its extended unnessisary parts. Unlike the majority of Troma movies this one takes itself seriously thoughout, and that kind of makes it more cheesy.
