Terror Firmer (1999)
7/10
Bloody violent bloodbath.
4 April 2005
This is the story of a low budget film crew,led by their blind film director,Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman/co-founder of Troma Inc.),trying to make some art.In addition to the typical trials and travails of a Troma set,the crew finds themselves set upon by a sexually conflicted,bomb bearing serial killer.Production assistant Jennifer(enchanting Alyce LaTourelle)struggles to succeed on set and to decide between the two men in her life-straitlaced Casey(Will Keenan)and over the edge Jerry(Trent Haaga).This threesome heats up as the killer draws even nearer.As the insanity increases and the bodies pile up,the crew bands together(both physically and sexually)against the threat in their midst."Terror Firmer" is an occasionally amusing and extremely gross horror comedy.Of course people don't watch Troma flicks for production values or artistic pretensions,they just want gore,nudity and crude humour."Terror Firmer" is based on Kaufman's autobiography "All I Need to Know About Film-making I Learned from the Toxic Avenger".The film is really disgusting,with several way over-the-top scenes of vomiting,dismemberment and crap-eating.Still I liked it and you should too if you are a fan of Troma's crazy horror films.7 out of 10.
