Troma

What is it?

I've heard this term used many times, even on thise website.  Does anybody have a definition or something?

Troma Entertainment, a company that both makes and distributes many cult films.  "The Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke'em High 2: Subhumanoid Meltdown" are just two of their titles.  The films that actually come out of the studio usually have a recognizable theme in terms of the goofy gore and comedy.

Thanks Andrew, I have seen this many times and I was very frustrated because I had no I dea what the webmasters were talking about.  Even when the company was mentioned I thought it was a style of film the company was named after.    Karma for you.

Troma's great, in a trashy way.  I actually was introduced to them through USA Up All Night, and the Toxic Avenger cartoon.

Cannibal! The Musical is a favorite, as is Citizen Toxie.

Redneck Zombies was the first Troma film I ever watched, and let me down the path of Troma films that I've come to enjoy.  I currently have Toxic Avenger 2-4 currently on rent from Netflix and my goal this week is to watch them.

Prison A-Go-Go was WAY better than it had any right to be. I watched it with this autistic guy who expected it to be hardcore porn for some reason and was all disapointed. I was all, what kind of party did you think this was? Me, you, Johhny, and Nels watching some porn, and THEN what?

My buddys band is doing a metal show here in Milwaukee and Troma films is going to be there. BadAss.
