Troma Team Pictures, the company that brought you such classics as The Toxic Avenger, When Nature Calls and Class Of Nuke Em High, takes a look inside the making of a typical Troma release with Terror Firmer, directed and co-written by Troma co-founder Lloyd Kaufman, who also appears as the director of the film-within-the film. Here, Kaufman (whose character is blind, which would explain a lot about Tromas product) and his crew are making a willfully sleazy horror flick, complete with monsters, gore, gratuitous nudity and loud rock n roll, when a serial killer appears who doesnt happen to be in the script. Terror Firmer is based in part on Kaufmans 1998 book about his career with Troma, All I Need To Know About Filmmaking I Learned From The Toxic Avenger, and includes a plug for the upcoming Jane Austens Schlock and Schlockability (possibly a follow-up to 1996s Shakespeare variant Tromeo and Juliet). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
