Terror Firmer (1999)
Member Rating:  
Troma Team Pictures, the company that brought you such classics as The Toxic Avenger, When Nature Calls and Class Of Nuke 'Em High, takes a look inside the making of a "typical" Troma release with Terror Firmer, directed and co-written by Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, who also appears as the director of the film-within-the film. Here, Kaufman (whose character is blind, which would explain a lot about Troma's product) and his crew are making a willfully sleazy horror flick, complete with monsters, gore, gratuitous nudity and loud rock 'n' roll, when a serial killer appears who doesn't happen to be in the script. Terror Firmer is based in part on Kaufman's 1998 book about his career with Troma, All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger, and includes a plug for the upcoming Jane Austen's Schlock and Schlockability (possibly a follow-up to 1996's Shakespeare variant Tromeo and Juliet). ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Terror Firmer is a comical indie movie that pokes fun at how Troma makes indie B-flick horror movies. I never again fantasized about snorting cocaine through a funnel lodged in my rectum after watching the "Toddsterrrr!" murder scene. This should be at the top of everyone's B-flick list.

A film about making a film. Classic troma gore and punk stylings. Plus, it stars Ron Jeremy.
