Troma Films
« on: September 11, 2012, 08:11:23 PM »
I know most of their movies aren't that good to begin with, but some are pretty good actually... Yes I'm serious :)

Anyway you can watch almost all their catalogue (Troma productions and pickup) on the companie youtube channel for free... so if you weren't too much in a hurry to add "BUTTCRACK!" or "Poultrygeist: Night Of The Chicken Dead!" to your collection this is now the time to try... No real risk except wasting some time and learning if a film is good before buying the DVD.

One that I've reviewed here a long time ago and enjoyed a lot :thumbup:


P.S : if you watch it let me know if you liked the film as much as I did ;D

Thanks Jimmy! I see they have a lot of older, presumably public domain, films on there.

I think I might give some of their more infamous titles a try, like Rabid Grannies or Killer Condom (certainly wouldn't want those on DVD :laugh:).

Not PD as Troma own them, but since it's their own channel it can't be more legal as you can see in their press release.

Killer Condom
BTW it's a german movie (Kondom des Grauens) and Jörg Buttgereit did the special effects for this.

Surprised to see Steve Balderson's Pep Squad showing up there. It's pretty great. The only "real" Troma movie I've seen is Tromeo & Juliet. I give it some points for its punk approach to Shakespeare.

I know :D It's based on a comic book by a famous comic book writer whose name eludes me right now... At least that's what I remember. He alo wrote Der bewegte Mann (at least the other German members will have heard of that).

Oh, wait, it's Ralf König, I think!
