Blood Sucking Freaks (1976)
Feb 22, 2005Sadism and Torture
Film that gained a notoriety for its scenes of a stage magician torturing and mutilating people. This seems fueled by a nasty misogyny involving the degradation and killing of women.
Troma
The Toxic Avenger (1984)
May 31, 2001Mutant Superhero/Bad Taste Splatter/Troma Film
The film that launched the name of Troma Films. The world's first superhero splatter film, this readily dives into bad taste just to see what kind of offence it can get away with
Girls School Screamers (1985)
May 30, 2024Haunted House
Catholic schoolgirls are being killed in a big old haunted house. This was unable to find a release in its original form whereupon it was bought up by Troma, given a much more sensationalistic title and released with extra gore scenes
Igor and the Lunatics (1985)
Sep 25, 2020Crazed Cult Followers
Another shabby Troma release about the activities of a crazed cult. Features some nasty deaths but little else
Class of Nuke ‘Em High (1986)
Nov 26, 2005Bad Taste Splatter and Mutations/Troma Film
One of the essential Troma films, this seems to have been conceived as Rock'n'Roll High School with Evil Dead-styled makeup effects and lots of moronic bad taste humour
Surf Nazis Must Die (1987)
Aug 14, 2004Post-Holocaust Surfer Gangs/Troma Film
Classic Troma title that is more interesting than the actual film, although the film does eventually achieve a bizarre over-the-top lunacy
Luther the Geek (1989)
Nov 17, 2020Psycho Film
Film about a psychopathic circus geek who kills with a pair of steel dentures. One of the better critically received Troma releases
Redneck Zombies (1989)
May 2, 2019Zombie Comedy
Classic title from Troma Films, quite possibly the first ever gonzo zombie film, this also counts as one of the worst zombie films ever made
Blades (1989)
Aug 9, 1999Killer Lawnmower/Genre Spoof
Rather witty little Troma release about a killer lawnmower hunting people at a golf course that in its last half becomes an hilarious parody of Jaws
Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D. (1990)
Jul 19, 2000Gonzo Superhero/Troma Film
One of the more amusing and better made Troma films - their take on the superhero fad of the early 90s featuring a Japanese-themed superhero
Strangest Dreams: Invasion of the Space Preachers (1990)
Jun 4, 2020Alien Invader Televangelists
A film that has been sold on the basis of its deliberately ridiculous title concept - that of alien invaders attempting to take over the airwaves by posing as televangelists
A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell (1990)
Jan 28, 2015Heroine vs Post-Holocaust Dinosaurs
Despite one of the great exploitation titles of all time, this bikini clad babes vs dinosaurs after the apocalypse effort lacks the cheerful cynicism of other Troma films and is just cheap, dull and unwatchable on almost every level
Killer Nerd (1991)
May 12, 2020Abused Nerd on a Killing Rampage
This gained a minor cult in which an abused nerd snaps as a result of constant humiliations and goes on a killing rampage. Tony Radloff gives an extraordinary performance
Chopper Chicks in Zombietown (1991)
Jan 6, 2001Girl Biker Gang vs Zombies
That rarity of rarities - a quite good Troma film. The zombies are not up to much but the titular girl motorcycle gang are surprisingly well rounded characters
Class of Nuke ‘Em High Part II: Subhumanoid Meltdown (1991)
Sep 15, 2020Bad Taste Splatter and Mutations/Troma Film
The first sequel to the Troma hit and with all of the usual bad taste and moron humour you associate with a Troma film, but also better produced then most their films
Fertilize the Blaspheming Bombshell! (1992)
May 21, 2020Town of Satanists
This was a Troma release during the period where they made a point of selling films with outrageous attention-getting titles. One only wishes there was a film on show worthy of such
Space Zombie Bingo!!! (1993)
Oct 2, 2020Deliberately Bad SF Film
Part of the late 80s/early 90s fad for deliberately bad SF films, this has plentiful references to Plan 9 from Outer Space but little that is funny
Rockabilly Vampire: Burnin’ Love (1996)
Oct 18, 20201950s Rocker Vampire
Troma film less terrible than most about a modern who gets involved with a vampire from the 1950s
The Killer Condom (1996)
May 31, 1999Gonzo Monster Movie
Beyond the willfully ridiculous title, this is a surprisingly entertaining and funny film that lampoons monster movies in general
Tromeo & Juliet (1996)
Dec 23, 1999Bad Taste Shakespeare Parody/Troma Film
Made to coincide with the Leonardo DiCaprio Romeo and Juliet, this Troma offering sets out to conduct as many bad taste variations on Shakespeare as it can
The Chosen One: The Legend of the Raven (1998)
Dec 13, 2000Superheroine/White Trash Melodrama
Hilarious film in which Carmen Electra gets resurrected as a superheroine via American Indian magic. Filled with hilarious white trash bitcheries
Terror Firmer (1999)
Apr 20, 2000Movie Set Killer/Bad Taste Troma Comedy
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
Yeti: A Love Story (2006)
Feb 16, 2023Gay Yeti/Troma Film
Troma film about a group of trampers attacked by a Yeti only for one of the group to discover gay love with the Yeti
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
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
The 12 Slays of Christmas (2016)
Dec 23, 2024Christmas Horror Anthology
From Troma films, an anthology made up of twelve Christmas-themed short horror films
#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
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 is a bizarre one indeed
The Toxic Avenger (2023)
Oct 11, 2025Mutant Superhero/Troma Remake
A remake of the work that launched Troma films. The original The Toxic Avenger was a gungily nasty film that readily trod way over all lines of good taste. In being cast with name stars, this has been cleaned up considerably
