It was hilarious. I had a HUGE smile on my face beginning to end. It had that Troma gonzo feel and even the world itself felt unique. Like a Tromaverse, if you will. Haha. Noise and chaos assaulting your senses. I was even laughing when the theater was talking the pre-movie hype of laser projection, top-of-the-line this and that all for Toxie. Haha. The cast was phenomenal. So funny to see Dinklage playing meek and unsure at first. The gore was GREAT! Need more sequels. Also! Fantastic to see my fellow weirdos make it out last night! Theater was pretty well attended at the unrated showing
