More on “Return to Nuke ‘Em High: Volume One:”
“Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. One & Two” is a satirical sci-fi comedy event film with themes ripped straight from today’s headlines: the contamination and degradation of the world’s food supply, rampant bullying, love triumphing over prejudice and LGBT rights. The film, a revisiting of Troma’s 1986 “Class of Nuke Em High” is in the same vein as other classics such as “Class of 1984,” “Rock ‘n’ Roll High School,” and “Carrie,” but seen through the unique vision of Lloyd Kaufman and the Troma Team. Welcome to Tromaville High School where, unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a vicious gang of Cretins. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lovers-bloggers, must fight not only the Cretins, mutants and monsters but also the evil Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Will they save Tromaville High School and the world?
BIRDEMIC 2 WILL HAVE NEW JERSEY PREMIERE AT 14TH ANNUAL TROMADANCE, APRIL 13TH:
Featuring Q & A with Director James Nguyen
The TromaDance Selection Committee is pleased to announce that Birdemic 2: The Resurrection will have its New Jersey Premiere at the 14th Annual TromaDance Film Festival at Asbury Lanes in Asbury Park, NJ on Saturday, April 13th at 11PM. A Q&A with director James Nguyen, the Master of Romantic Thrillers™, will follow. Birdemic: Shock and Terror and its enigmatic director were discovered by Troma during TromaDance 2009, and the series has since become favorite among horror fans. Admission to the screening at TromaDance is $10.
“The TromaDance selection committee went cuckoo for Birdemic 2!” says TromaDance founder Lloyd Kaufman. “Given our history of playing socially significant films, we thought that James Nguyen’s Hitchcockian vision of ‘Hollywood under ecological and avian distress’ made it a perfect fit for the festival which is now in its 14th year.”
