The TromaDance Film Festival has moved to the most toxic place on Earth for its 11th annual edition: New Jersey! That’s right, screw the snow! TromaDance has moved the hell out of Park City and will be making Asbury Park a little bit skeevier on April 16-17 with a grotesque abomination of a lineup of short films and features.
On the 16th, check out the dear ol’ uncle Lloyd Kaufman’s brutally hilarious, bloody and feces-tastically toe-tapping Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, a musical set in a fast food restaurant haunted by demonic spirits.
Then, on the 17th, its a gargantuan all-day affair of riotous and offensive short films from all over the world, plus a screening of Tom Six’s bizarro feature-length horror film The Human Centipede in which a mad doctor sews innocent victims together mouth-to-butt. Hey, whatever turns you on.
Plus, there’s panel discussions,...
