One of my favourite parts of the Frightfest film festival is getting to watch movies on the big screen that every right being there but no chance of a mainstream release and this is always highlighted wonderfully by the intriguing, interesting, and most importantly brilliant 'First Blood' strand of films. The film that kickstarted all of that was MY BLOODY BANJO, a film I came out afterward absolutely buzzing about as if I had just discovered Troma for the first time all over again. Made lovingly with likely all the hard work, sweat, tears, and swear words by a team of crew and actors who looked like they loved every minute being represented by likeable director Liam Regan. When I…
Esta es la primera que he visto del festival de cine de terror de Molins de Rei (online eso si). Y he empezado fuerte, posiblemente con la que mas ganas le tenia del catalogo.
Aquí uno ha venido sabiendo lo que se iba a encontrar. Gore, cosas asquerosas, humor. Y lo sirve en un platito lleno de canibalismo, sabor delicioso. Todo un producto de Troma.
Hacia tiempo que no veía nada que rompía tantas veces seguidas la cuarta pared, aunque tan solo en el primer acto. Todos los personajes son unos psicópatas de manual. Pero todos.
Tiene multitud de referencias al cine desde Troma a A24 y bromas que tan solo los mas cinéfilos lo pillaran.
Los personajes son bastante divertidos y absurdos a la vez. No encontrarás otra historia con un concurso cuyo premio es hacer un tiroteo escolar o suicidarte. Grandes premios.
La he disfrutado mucho, pero creo que la hubiera disfrutado mas en compañía de otra persona.
Edgy 12 year old me would have adored this film. This film has no subtly as it cracks jokes about pedophilia, rape, and school shootings, at every opportunity. Uncle Lloydy's cameo is literally just him saying 'Alec Baldwin' and shooting himself in the face. That is the sort of relentless mean spirit this movie has while simultaneously being so silly and chaotic it is impossible to take seriously.
I love the premise that Beth Connor is stuck in a loop of killing herself and then waking up in a different horror film I wish the script had explored this idea further as well as spending more time poking fun at romantic comedy. The movie constantly makes fun of nostalgia for…
Eating Miss Campbell is the new comedy/horror from Director Liam Regan that sees him stepping up his production game considerably with a film that will likely piss off as many people as it charms... (who am I kidding, this is gonna piss off waaaay more people than it charms!) with jokes about school shootings, paedophilia and rape thrown around with all the subtlety and grace of a drunken pie fight - it's fair to say that your mileage may vary depending how onboard you are with the Director's "vision"
And that's where, I think, the film works best. On the surface level, this is simply Troma disguised as an 80s teen movie pastiche but the director/writer's fascination with the 90's…
Let’s start by saying this isn’t a film for everyone. It’s offensive, gory, batshit crazy and has TWO, yes TWO pairs of tits in it. But it’s a Troma film, what the heck do you expect?! Liam has crafted a movie with heart, with in-jokes, with everything but the kitchen sink thrown at it, and it works. I laughed a lot, with the best jokes for me being Lloyd’s cameo (it’s awful but I snorted) and the A24 dig. Proud of you Regan 👏🏼
Taboo cinema can approach tough subjects in shocking ways, and spark a conversation with topics cinema tends to avoid through unexpected ways. What's been delivered here feels like a Family Guy fan wishing to push how much of an edgelord they could be, resulting in a distasteful film which approaches school-shootings, paedophilia, and suicide with as much care as Mr Bean performing a vasectomy.
Police arrested two kids yesterday, one was drinking battery acid, the other was eating fireworks. They charged one and let the other one off.
Recommended for wokers.

"A bukkake of blood"
A remake of Heathers by and for the clinically insane. We were promised a bukkake of blood and it's precisely what we got in every sense of the term. It's Troma, so there's a trigger warning for anyone and everyone. Even with it's undeniable mean streak though, there's a specific kind of hard-to-explain sensitivity to it's raunchy and sometimes evil sense of humour. Generally, most of the laughs come from bad people getting what they deserve.
Little all over the place narratively and at points feels like a first draft, but it can work for the knowingly juvenile style here. Reading it as a story about a girl trapped in a hell that presents…
Self aware, taboo and edgelordie, certifiably crazy, gory and gruey, stupid in a pleasing way and thoroughly tromatising.
