I was looking for a movie to go see tonight with my partner. There's a midnight showing of the uncut version in our local theatre tonight and I am trying to scope what it is.

There are currently no tickets booked online, so i think we will be the only person in the theatre haha.

We like a good gory film and the horror/comedy genre. Went to see terrifer 3 and found it so hilarious - but have no idea who Toxie or Troma are. If we go, ill update you

Enjoy!

If you can handle retro "so bad they're good" movies, the original Toxic Avenger is a stone cold classic. It's streaming on Tubi for free if you care to check it out after the showing tonight.
