Terror Firmer (1999)

Troma film in which Lloyd Kaufman turns his own autobiography into a Troma film where the results emerge as something akin to Ed Wood as remade by John Waters
Lloyd Kaufman
Comic Book: The Movie (2004)
Apr 21, 2008Comic-Book Fandom Mockumentary
An hilarious mockumentary directed by Mark Hamill set at the San Diego Comic Con, this spoofs various aspects of comic-book fandom and includes assorted celebrities sending themselves up
Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006)
Jul 13, 2010Zombie Chicken Mutations/Troma Film
Troma film that has maybe the silliest movie title ever. This sets out to be so persistently moronic and wilfully offensive that it eventually attains a delirious absurdity
Frankenpimp (2009)
Mar 9, 2010Gonzo Exploitation Homage
Possibly THE worst film ever made. Tony Watt throws an mash-up of exploitation elements together in an incomprehensible plot. A film that made me want to hammer a nail through my eyeball rather than keep watching
George’s Intervention (2009)
Mar 6, 2013Zombie Comedy
A zombie comedy that comes with a mildly amusing premise – where people stage an intervention to stop their friend eating people. This feels a single gag drawn-out as a full length film
Bloodbath in the House of Knives (2010)
Dec 31, 2010Psycho Film
Low-budget film that conjures a weird psychotronic atmosphere and features some out-there killings even if it fails to fully sustain it
Father’s Day (2011)
Feb 14, 2012Troma Film/Possessed Killer/Bad Taste Splatter
Troma film that ventures back into their regular bad taste territory. This often feels like a film that never coheses into a particularly clear idea of what it is trying to do, possibly the result of six different directors
Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman’s The Fantastic Four (2015)
May 14, 2017Documentary About the Unreleased 1994 Fantastic Four Film
The 1994 film version of The Fantastic Four is the stuff of legend - made for $1 million budget solely to secure a copyright and never intended to be released. This is a documentary about its making
Bigfoot Ate My Boyfriend (2016)
Jul 26, 2016Bigfoot Comedy
A miracle of $1.98 no-budget film-making, this Bigfoot comedy shouts out its sheer good nature from every pore. It is a film that wears its shortcomings with pride, while the director and cast have a great comic timing
Death House (2017)
Jun 30, 2019Asylum of Insane Killers Unleashed
This comes with the winning idea of being conceived as a horror version of The Expendables bringing back an amazing line-up of horror actors from principally the 80s. Alas, the film itself as an incoherent mess
Survival of the Film Freaks (2018)
Mar 20, 2023Documentary About the Cult Film Phenomenon
The title suggests a work about film fans facing the end of the world but this is actually a documentary about the cult film phenomenon
In Search of Darkness: A Journey Into Iconic ‘80s Horror (2019)
Jul 11, 2020Documentary About the 1980s Horror Film
An exhaustive documentary that charts in enormous detail every facet of the 1980s horror film, although this is not as exhaustive as it seems to think and leaves some big omissions
#ShakespearesShitstorm (2020)
Oct 21, 2024Bad Taste Shakespeare Parody/Troma Film
Troma launch into their parody of Shakespeare’s The Tempest, producing what may be their bad taste masterpiece to date
In Search of Darkness II: A Journey Into ’80s Horror Continues (2020)
May 6, 2024Documentary About the 1980s Horror Film
A follow-up to the documentary about the 1980s horror film, this deals with some of the lesser-known and overlooked works that were not covered the first time around
Eating Miss Campbell (2022)
Nov 20, 2023Bad Taste Comedy
The sight of the normally super-offensive and un-PC Troma Films trying to adjust to the post-#MeToo and Cancel Culture era while making a film about high school cannibalism is a bizarre one indeed
Attack of the Killer Chickens: The Movie! (2023)
Mar 3, 2024Deliberately Bad Film
Yes, a film about an invasion by space chickens, which are represented by hand puppets. Words fail me on this one. This is painful to watch. My Worst Film of 2023.
