The Huffington Post features China essay by Lloyd Kaufman
It’s Not Me, It’s You: My Break Up With China
written by Lloyd Kaufman, (with Taylor Sprow)
“The current atrocities committed at the hands of the Chinese government are unacceptable and I find myself unable to look past them for the sake of my dream: to make a movie in China.”– Lloyd Kaufman
“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like an independent filmmaker scorned.”
-William Congreve (sort of)
Ni hau ma from Tromaville!
Fuck you, China, and the Han Dynasty horse you rode in on! You have double-crossed me!
In our vastly interconnected world of quick clicks and instant communication, thinking globally is pretty much the only option. In a second you can be connected with someone on the other side of the planet. Here at Troma, we are well aware of what it means to function on a global scale. Without our fans from all over the world, we would not have been able to survive 42 years so far in this elitist hellmouth we call the film industry.

World Premiere Movies from Troma Entertainment, 2016-2017
Grindsploitation: The Movie
Starring P.J Soles, Lloyd Kaufman, Sadie Katz, Shawn C. phillips
Anthology Horror Short/Trailer Film Reel
Produced by Tony Newton, 2016
Grindsploitation:The movie is the latest filmmaking collection from troma entertainment, featuring horror and exploitation cinema inspired film reel of back to back faux movie trailers, short films and “banned Scenes” with a dedicated artistic intention to recreate an authentic 1970’s theatre experience.
The two hours of underground horror and hardcore highlight reels were created by a diverse and current selection of new directors in independent cinema.Troma Entertainment almuni included in Newton’s Anthology is an Annum Films Trilogy , from Brandon Bassham, director of Feartown, USA and The Slashening and an Introduction from Lloyd Kaufman.
HONKY HOLOCAUST
Director Paul M. McAlarney’s Futuristic and controversial horror-prophecy of an American Race-War. Ungovernable Films, Boston, MA.
Through practical effects, informed low-budget filmmaking techniques and unapologetic social commentary Honky Holocaust both pays tribute to and without irony presents itself as exploitation cinema. Lust charged graphic nudity, fully resolved images of your worst nightmares and more than a bit of A Clockwork Orange ultra-violence. The story and the visual narrative of Honky Holocaust comes with an anarchist message through the history of hate and violence by imagining what could be when we refuse to uphold any dishonest mainstream portrayal of racism meant to defer discomfort. Honky Holocaust was produced and directed in Boston by Ungovernable Films, director Paul M. McAlarney’s film operation with the mission to “Take Motion Pictures Back By Force”.
Ungovernable Films takes the position that the only thing more dangerous than bigotry is political correctness and the collective takes influence from all corners of exploitation cinema to create movies that fearlessly demonstrate their radical social critique on the modern condition.
THE THINGY: CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE PLACENTA
Directed by Joel Rabjins and Yves Sondermeier, Beglium
Director Joel Rabjins and Yves Sondermeier’s surreal sci-fi coming-of-age tragedy about Luuk, a human born, pre-teen mutant living placenta. The Thingy is a dark portrayal of a young and sensitive lifeform attempting to understand his God-given circumstances in a brutal world that rejects Luuk and traumatizes the placenta-child physically and morally for his grotesque and misunderstood “other-ness”. As The Thingy presses on within the cruel conditions of a society that bullies and alienates him we see the manifestation of traumatic stress in the empathetic creature that is forced into a realization of the dark pathology of human motivation from both those who reject him and those who exploit him to amuse their needs.
SICK SOCK MONSTERS FROM OUTER SPACE!
Starring Marco Antonio Andolfi, Alessandro Bianchi and Giovanni De Giorgi
( DOLCEZZA EXTREMA)
Starring Marco Antonio Andolfi, Alessandro Bianchi and Giovanni De Giorgi
Directed by Alberto Genovese
Italian Language/English Subtitles
Interstellar Sock-Puppet Sci-Fi, 35 MM with CGI
In an unspecified year in the future, the Captain Pixws and his space-pirate crew are foreced to deliver tanning showers to every corner of the universe. The starship,Dolcezza Extrema, shot on 35 mm film using a greenscreen to incorporate psychedelic, futuristic visual effects that take sock-puppetry into a mind-blowing state of the art galactic-cinema!
FEARTOWN, U.S.A.
FROM ANNUM FILMS, NYC
From Annum Films, New York, NY
Director Brandon Bassham’s party-slasher comedy takes place on the fictional St. Blevins Day at a mountain house weekend celebration in the named of debauchery.
Amidst all the jokes, jocks, jizz and jams, the shamelessly entitled sex-seeking singles become victims of a holiday massacre when a redneck menace comes to crush more than their fragile egos if an evil curse doesn’t destroy them first.
Feartown, U.S.A. imbibes the gory and sexy conceits of 80’s sleaze with a modern comedic dialogue to deliver a new form in horror movies.
THE SLASHENING
Directed by Brandon Bassham. ANNUM FILMS, NYC
Director Brandon Bassham’s psycho-stalker comedy murder movie preys on a group of longtime friends who reunite for a “girls-night-only” sleepover, only to inevitably reveal their personal betrayal to each other during a game of truth or dare.
The spoof on a chick flick takes a sick twist when a night stalker begins to further eviscerate their sham sisterhood and enforce poetic justice with a stab in the back.
REVENGE OF THE SPACEMEN
Directed by Jay Summers, Radiograph Pictures
Directed by Jay Summers, Radiograph Pictures
Revenge of the Spacemen descends onto earth in a flying saucer, to the disbelief of a few witnesses that spot the outer-space craft. Unable to convince other backwater locals that what they saw was more than an intoxicated hallucination, the witnesses embark on a mission to find proof of the extraterrestrial invasion. When the gang turns up a couple of missing backwater cretins who recount their tales of anal-probed alien abduction (compounded with a seriously out of this world case of gas), townspeople finally start to BELIEVE. The noxious gases go from unbelievable to unbearable, and it takes a boozy backyard standoff to eradicate the extraterrestrial BDSM terror!
VHS MASSACRE
Directed by Thomas Edward Seymour and Ken Powell
Director Thomas Edward Seymour and Kenneth Powell’s Award-Winning New York City based documentary that investigates the decline of analog media in home movie distribution platforms. VHS Massacre explores the genesis of VHS through it’s death rattle with a uniquely Generation X point of view in its fondness for video tape consumerism and open-minded attempt to make sense of the effects of digital streaming and sharing on both the audiences and the artists.
JUNK BONDS: THE RETURN OF JUNKBUCKET
Directed by Stephen Lange, creator of Junkbucket
Grisly psycho-shocker JUNK BONDS: THE RETURN OF JUNKBUCKET
from seattle director Stephen lange. Lange’s exploitation of both visual and narrative horror uses a horror of taboos and references universal and ancient archetypes from the darkest circle on mankind’s subconscious.
Junk bonds: The Return of Junkbucket will continue to sever and gnaw piece of mind long after you finally get around to putting away the junk.
HECTIC KNIFE
Directed by Greg DeLiso, Starring Peter Litvin
From Munrovia Pictures, Detroit
Greg DeLiso and Peter Litvin’s black and white pulp comedy centered on the story of a knife wielding backstreet vigilante called “Hectic” through a period of self-realization that follows the emergence of a new local villain, the “Piggly Doctor” that DeLiso’s new anti-hero must resolve before certain Apocalypse!
B.C. BUTCHER
Directed by Kansas Bowling
Starring Kato Kaelin, Rodney “The Mayor of Sunset Strip” Bingenheimer, Parker Love Bowling
BC Butcher was shot on 16 mm film in Kansas bowling’s backyard in Topanga canon California when the director was only 17 years old.
“The first pre-historic slasher movie” is a campy cave-sploitation southern California new wave in horror comedy. The story follows a beast of mythic lore on his quest for bloodlust and lovesick psycho revenge warpath unleashed onto a tribe of spatting cavewomen.
Starring Kato Kaelin as an ambiguously gay and philandering cave fop, a cameo from Rodney Bingenheimer and a performance by rock-n-roll California quartet “The Ugly Kids”, BC Butcher is a superlative story set within the cinematic spirit of Troma Tradition.
Fear of the Light
By Jose Victor Fuentes
Dark Horror Thriller
Spanish Language, English Subtitles
Tahísa and Paula live on a small island surrounded by mysteries with those who have learned to live together. His quiet routine crumbles the day she breaks into their lives Ico, a journalist who investigates the phenomenon of light Mafasca.
