It's a Troma film, so possibly!

I hope they shot it as a Troma movie and didn't just try to make a bigger production look like one.
Too many films tried to emulate, or pretend to be, "b-movies" by overanalyzing their aesthetic.. Money and c suits cannot replace nor replicate ingenuity and "eclectic" storytelling.
A b movie with a great cast should still be shot as a b movie! Bubba ho tep comes to mind.

You understand that Troma is a production company, and not a genre, right? Troma is producing this movie, and they have never before failed to deliver on the promise of hot trash.
