The lost Troma film......and the BEST!!!, 5 October 2000
9/10
Author: paulisdead from Australia

I first saw this film on late night cable. I was channel surfing when I was confounded with the Troma logo of the city skyline that most cult movie fans know and love, eminently my brain triggered that it was going to be an hour and a half of mutant junkies with D cup breasts fighting giant penis monsters. But when the 1930's style opening credits come up (in black and white!!!) I was in for a rude awakening: this Maltese Falcon meets Eraser Head had me glued to the set form start to finish (which is pretty good considering it was 3am). It's a complete send up of the short series of the 30's and 40's complete grainy picture and the actors over acting (in a ROCKY HORROR sort of way not a Troma sort of way) with their voices booming out like it was recorded on a old style microphone. Sure there's a bit of gore but not to the heights that Troma is famous for. I was surprised, as well as sadden when Troma didn't release this film with their 'RE-MASTERED' series as most of this film is fading from memory, (I saw the film over two years ago and haven't found a copy of it on video since!) maybe it's too 'artsy' for Troma standards or not enough T & A, in fact NONE AT ALL!!!.or maybe the penis monster had a bit part I missed when I blinked.
