Terror Firmer Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
lastliberal Debbie Rochon as a blond? Wow, this is something different! Of course, this whole movie is something different. Lloyd Kaufman has really pulled out all the stops to give us the grossest film I could ever imagine. No, I would be Lloyd Kaufman if I imagined this stuff - this is waaaay beyond my imagination.Extreme amounts of blood and gore and body fluids and solids. This was the ultimate in gross, but you had to look.Once again, there was a perfect part for me. I coulda been a contenda in indy film.Not for those with a weak stomach.
BA_Harrison Terror Firmer, from B-movie outfit Troma, is a two-hour long attempt at being the most offensive movie ever. Packed into this trashy effort, from director and Troma head honcho Lloyd Kaufmann, is some of the most disgusting imagery ever committed to film. The trouble is, despite the inclusion of such 'delights' as an unborn baby being ripped from its mothers womb and poo eating, the most offensive thing about this movie is that it ever got made in the first place. All over the world, truly talented film-makers struggle to get their projects into production—meanwhile, Lloyd Kaufmann is regularly churning out reprehensible cack with no redeeming qualities whatsoever.I have to admit that I have never been a fan of Troma's output, finding it amateurish and juvenile in the extreme. Their films do have their followers, however, and I suspect that they will find Terror Firmer to be two hours of pure heaven. With practically no plot, very puerile humour (farts, puke, bodily fluids, willies, tits and bums etc), bucket-loads of unconvincing gore and a smattering of sex, your average moron will probably find this movie unmissable.Starting off with a man being beaten to death with his own leg and the aforementioned foetus removal, the film quickly lets viewers know what to expect. Now I've no problems with sick humour and OTT gore (I've been a fan of Peter Jackson's movies since Bad Taste) but I do like to see some semblance of talent from those involved. Terror Firmer may be extremely violent and outrageous, but with some truly dismal effects, dreadful humour, awful acting, an annoying cast, and no attempt at a coherent narrative (at least until very near the end), this film is something of a challenge to sit through.The plot, for what it's worth, goes something like this: Larry Benjamin (Lloyd Kaufman), a blind director for Troma is making the latest Toxic Avenger movie. Unfortunately, a psycho killer is bumping off the cast and crew in various grisly ways, making completing the film slightly tricky. The nut-job responsible for the murders turns out to be the film's boom operator, Casey (Will Keenan), a hermaphrodite who had his/her penis cut off by his/her father (played by porn star, Ron Jeremy), who just wanted a little girl so he could abuse her. This has understandably unbalanced Casey mentally, resulting in him/her going completely gaga.I tried to like this film for its excesses, I really did, but by the end credits I felt like I just wanted to hurt everyone involved in the making of this worthless garbage.
Darth-Helmet A low budget studio working on a 4th installment of "The Toxic Avenger" and blind director named Larry Benjamin ( Lloyd Kaufman) is working on it as unfortunately there's a maniac on the loose in New York causing terrible crimes as he or she murders his/her victims then collects their body parts in m jars. The killer begins to strike and kill off most of the actors during filming of their movie, and one of the workers must find the mystery behind this fiend.Entertaining and ultra-violent horror comedy satire from the people at Troma and is based on Lloyd Kaufman's book " All i need to know about film-making i learned from The Toxic Avenger" and has that movie-within-a-movie-about-a-movie like thing (i.e. New Nightmare). The movie has scenes of graphic gore like a hilarious "Riki-Oh" style scene where Michael Herz ( producer of Troma and star) gets his entire body mutilated through an escalator even though it's kind of cartoonish. But wait there's more! there's also a dark sense of humor, appearance by Sgt. Kabukiman, sleaze, nudity, booze and everything to fill a horror and gore-hound's appetite for the sick and funny here in this must see flick that is one of their most acclaimed movies yet.Also recommended: " The Toxic Avenger", " Class of Nuke'Em High", "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4", " Demons", " New Nightmare", "From Dusk Till Dawn", " The New York Ripper", " Caligula", " Tromeo and Juliet", " Hostel", " Pink Flamingos", " Re-Animator", "Dead Alive", " Last Action Hero", "Scream 1 & 2", "Evil Dead II", " Cat in The Brain", "Evil Ed", " Beware!

Jonny_Numb What can really be said about a movie that deliberately and gleefully intends to push the barriers of taste right out the window? Therein lies the failure of "Terror Firmer," an over-the-top parody of the making of a low-budget movie crossed with a slasher flick. In its own hyperactive, slovenly way, it tries too hard, and simply doesn't have enough "meat" to merit its near-two-hour run time. The film is stained with gore, viscera, vomit, and is heinously overacted and overwritten, and a majority of the time confuses shock value (no matter how inane or black-humored) with comedy. A female slasher is on the loose, killing off the cast and crew of a low-budget independent film (director Lloyd Kaufman, founder of Troma, never skips an opportunity to inform us of the virtues of independent cinema)–who is doing it, and more importantly, who cares? That being said, "Terror Firmer" does have an eerie charm that (for a while, at least) bangs on the 'ol funny bone with some consistency, though a little of this stuff goes a long way, and eventually you'll just want the movie to end.
