Since I love unapologetically sleazy cinema, I’ve been following Astron-6′s upcoming gorefest “Father’s Day” very closely. Thanks to the fine, upstanding individuals working tirelessly over at Troma, the film is getting a limited theatrical run beginning, well, two days ago (January 18th). Whoops! I’m a little behind. Anyway, to help promote this potentially offensive motion picture, the promotional team has unleashed the colorful new poster you see below. I believe that a synopsis is in order: A long, long time ago in a town north of Tromaville, there was a bad, bad man who raped and killed dads. Nobody could stop the fat monster until a mysterious stranger took a stand. Some say he was avenging his own father. Some say he was just crazy. The stranger could not have known the Hell that was to follow. “Father’s Day”, which stars Adam Brooks, Mackenzie Murdock,...

So, Troma, which usually has a style (if you can call it that) of its own is adapting to the grainy, "weathered film print so let's call it grindhouse" thing. And this is apparently in the production outfit's trailer for Father's Day , written and directed by Astron-6. It looks nuts. That, or it's struggling to be Hobo With a Shotgun 's baby brother.
