Terror Firmer is a 1999 horror/comedy released by Troma Entertainment. For anyone that is a fan of Troma films this is going give you everything you'd probably expect: over-the-top violence, sex, gross-out moments, blood, guts, wacky characters and immature humor.
The film centers around the crew of a low-budget film, and their odd-ball, blind Director, Larry Benjamin (played by the films real-life Director, Lloyd Kaufman). These are the two biggest reasons I find it entertaining, as a lot of the film's best humor comes from Kaufman and it being a low-budget film about making a low-budget film. Larry is convinced that the movie he's making is a work of art but, along with the typical problems that could arise on a movie set, much of the crew is being murdered one by one at the hands of a serial-killer. in the midst of all this, there's also a love triangle going on between three of the main characters; a production assistant named Jennifer, a boom-mic
operator named Casey, and special effects named guy named Jerry. There are also nods to other popular Troma films throughout, my favorite being Sgt. Kabukiman just wandering around the set.
Well, it doesn't Sherlock Holmes to predict who is responsible for the murders is pretty early on and, in the end the crew bands together and defeats the serial-killer.
If you like Troma films you'll probably really enjoy this one. I wouldn't call it a terrific movie, and it's definitely not for everyone, but it is entertaining. I give it a 2 out of 5.
