BA_Harrison Terror Firmer, from B-movie outfit Troma, is a two-hour long attempt at being the most offensive movie ever. Packed into this trashy effort, from director and Troma head honcho Lloyd Kaufmann, is some of the most disgusting imagery ever committed to film. The trouble is, despite the inclusion of such 'delights' as an unborn baby being ripped from its mothers womb and poo eating, the most offensive thing about this movie is that it ever got made in the first place. All over the world, truly talented film-makers struggle to get their projects into production—meanwhile, Lloyd Kaufmann is regularly churning out reprehensible cack with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.I have to admit that I have never been a fan of Troma's output, finding it amateurish and juvenile in the extreme. Their films do have their followers, however, and I suspect that they will find Terror Firmer to be two hours of pure heaven. With practically no plot, very puerile humour (farts, puke, bodily fluids, willies, tits and bums etc), bucket-loads of unconvincing gore and a smattering of sex, your average moron will probably find this movie unmissable.Starting off with a man being beaten to death with his own leg and the aforementioned foetus removal, the film quickly lets viewers know what to expect. Now I've no problems with sick humour and OTT gore (I've been a fan of Peter Jackson's movies since Bad Taste) but I do like to see some semblance of talent from those involved. Terror Firmer may be extremely violent and outrageous, but with some truly dismal effects, dreadful humour, awful acting, an annoying cast, and no attempt at a coherent narrative (at least until very near the end), this film is something of a challenge to sit through.The plot, for what it's worth, goes something like this: Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman), a blind director for Troma is making the latest Toxic Avenger movie. Unfortunately, a psycho killer is bumping off the cast and crew in various grisly ways, making completing the film slightly tricky. The nut-job responsible for the murders turns out to be the film's boom operator, Casey (Will Keenan), a hermaphrodite who had his/her penis cut off by his/her father (played by porn star, Ron Jeremy), who just wanted a little girl so he could abuse her. This has understandably unbalanced Casey mentally, resulting in him/her going completely gaga.I tried to like this film for its excesses, I really did, but by the end credits I felt like I just wanted to hurt everyone involved in the making of this worthless garbage.

Darth-Helmet A low budget studio working on a 4th installment of "The Toxic Avenger" and blind director named Larry Benjamin ( Lloyd Kaufman) is working on it as unfortunately there's a maniac on the loose in New York causing terrible crimes as he or she murders his/her victims then collects their body parts in m jars. The killer begins to strike and kill off most of the actors during filming of their movie, and one of the workers must find the mystery behind this fiend.Entertaining and ultra-violent horror comedy satire from the people at Troma and is based on Lloyd Kaufman's book " All i need to know about film-making i learned from The Toxic Avenger" and has that movie-within-a-movie-about-a-movie like thing (i.e. New Nightmare). The movie has scenes of graphic gore like a hilarious "Riki-Oh" style scene where Michael Herz ( producer of Troma and star) gets his entire body mutilated through an escalator even though it's kind of cartoonish. But wait there's more! there's also a dark sense of humor, appearance by Sgt. Kabukiman, sleaze, nudity, booze and everything to fill a horror and gore-hound's appetite for the sick and funny here in this must see flick that is one of their most acclaimed movies yet.Also recommended: " The Toxic Avenger", " Class of Nuke'Em High", "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4", " Demons", " New Nightmare", "From Dusk Till Dawn", " The New York Ripper", " Caligula", " Tromeo and Juliet", " Hostel", " Pink Flamingos", " Re-Animator", "Dead Alive", " Last Action Hero", "Scream 1 & 2", "Evil Dead II", " Cat in The Brain", "Evil Ed", " Beware!

The_Pat_Bateman Troma is a hate it or love it company. That being said, I love Troma. They put out truly independent cinema, and do not take themselves seriously, and that is why their movies are so fun. A lot of movies they have are trash, they even admit it, but they have over 1000 movies, and a lot were just distributed by Troma. The truly great Troma Team videos are the ones from the minds of Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz. Kaufman is the President of Troma, and Herz is the Co-President I believe. OK enough of the history lesson If you have seen Toxic Avenger, and thought it was over the top, you got to see Terror Firmer. Anyone who has seen Toxic Avenger cannot forget that scene with the kid on the bike and the car. Terror Firmer not only surpasses this, but it surpasses it on so many levels. Not to spoil anything major, but Terror Firmer pushes it on so many levels- including abortion, exploding breasts, and a lot of defecation, urination and vomit hilariousness. It would be pointless for me to explain these any further because 1) it would be a spoiler, 2) words cannot describe this movie. It is a MUST see.One thing that I really like about this movie also, is how it looks and was shot. Toxic Avenger was an 80s movie and that was clearly evident, but this movie is shot in the same way. The film used, the overall feel of it. Show this to someone who doesn't know any better and they will tell you it looks like an 80s movie. it was actually made in 1999. I do not know if Troma has not got any new video equipment since then (and it doesn't surprise me) but this film looks and feels great. Troma is truly independent cinema.If you have ever read anything about Lloyd Kaufman, or seen him anywhere you will know he is an outrageous character. If you haven't seen him, now is your chance. He plays a director in this movie, and he is hilarious. If you have any Troma Team on DVD make sure to watch the extras because Lloyd is a riot.Terror Firmer makes a message about independent cinema. This is proof films today can still be good like the 80s films. if you are a Troma fan, a Toxic Avenger fan, love cheesy stuff from the 80s, or THINK U HAVE SEEN IT ALL- this is a must see.

ResidentHazard Terror Firmer (Quickie Review) This is a Troma gem we've got here. And we all know what that means, right? It's likely going to be bizarre, violent, absurd, ridiculous, offensive... whathaveyou. And this film is all of those things--and then some. It revolves a film crew, led by a blind director (played by Troma founder, Lloyd Kaufman), making another Toxic Avenger movie. But the film crew is constantly plagued with problems, foremost among them is a psychotic killer doing in people throughout the film in humorous and gory ways. And, in typical Troma fashion, there's insults and spoofs galore, including repeated verbal attacks on Spielberg and a mocking of Seinfeld. Lloyd Kaufman really seems to have a hatred of fellow entertainment business Jews, it would seem... At any rate, the acting, at times is surprisingly good, the gore quality is about average--sometimes, however, laughably weak, entertaining and surprising nudity, and the story is somewhat ridiculous. Bizarre and shocking ending, to boot! Ron Jeremy has a small starring role as an abusive father... sort of...So, who should watch this thing? Well, gorehounds with an interest in crazy movies will enjoy it, Troma fans will enjoy it--that's almost a given. A unique film, however you look at it. Recommended strongly to curiosity seekers with a tolerance (or love) for weirdness, violence, gore, nudity, and independent film fans. 7/10www.ResidentHazard.com
