Audience Member Troma did an art film and it's actually pretty good and there are still plenty of Troma things about the film too so it should appeal to fans of their other films as well as film buffs. The acting is a mixed bag. The physicality is right for German Expressionist films, which this is paying heavy tribute to, but most of the actors don't deliver their lines well. It does a great job of replicating the look of silent era German Expressionist horror films too. It's really spot on in that respect. Overall a very enjoyable film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This horror movie is so bad it's good. It's very funny and quirky, I enjoyed it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Rufus Seder belongs to that extremely select club of film directors who have only made one film ever and a masterpiece at that. (The other one in that club being Charles Laughton for "The Night of the Hunter"). Screamplay is one of my all-time favourite movies. George Kuchar is his usual sweaty, smarmy, sleazy screen ego, but not as outrageously so as in Curt McDowell's "Thundercrack". Rarely have I been entertained so much during a film screening - the film works really well on the big screen despite scratchy and fading grays in the footage. The story rocks and the projected backgrounds in many scenes are gorgeous. Even went to see it twice in a row!

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I first saw this film on late night cable. I was channel surfing when I was confounded with the Troma logo of the city skyline that most cult movie fans know and love, eminently my brain triggered that it was going to be an hour and a half of mutant junkies with D cup breasts fighting giant penis monsters. But when the 1930's style opening credits come up (in black and white!!!) I was in for a rude awakening: this Maltese Falcon meets Eraser Head had me glued to the set form start to finish (which is pretty good considering it was 3am). It's a complete send up of the short series of the 30's and 40's complete grainy picture and the actors over acting (in a ROCKY HORROR sort of way not a Troma sort of way) with their voices booming out like it was recorded on a old style microphone. Sure there's a bit of gore but not to the heights that Troma is famous for. I was surprised, as well as sadden when Troma didn't release this film with their 'RE-MASTERED' series as most of this film is fading from memory, (I saw the film over two years ago and haven't found a copy of it on video since!) maybe it's too 'artsy' for Troma standards or not enough T & A, in fact NONE AT ALL!!!.or maybe the penis monster had a bit part I missed when I blinked.
