The Toxic Avenger (2023) trailer

In case you've missed it, here's the trailer for Troma's new, rebooting "The Toxic Avenger", filmed in 2023, released in 2025.

Actually it looks pretty cool. The casting, namely Peter Dinklage, Elijah Wood, and Kevin Bacon, seems super adequate to the material, with all three actors having their own sort of cult status in the fantasy and horror community, and it levels up the acting quality quite a bit in comparison to the 1984 original. The appearance of the new Toxie is really convincing, and the poster artwork (see e.g. Wikipedia, link below) very nicely sets its own, gritty, toxic, low-budget tone for the movie. "The Toxic Avenger" is getting good ratings on IMBD - all in all, it looks like this is a fun watch, while keeping the legacy and feel of the original intact. A reboot done right!

Streaming Kino: The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) - Roger Corman, Jonathan Haze

Roger Corman was very good at making quick money with a nice movie - in case of "The Little Shop of Horrors", he reused some sets of his previous production, A Bucket of Blood, and filmed it in only a couple of days. The result is hard proof that time and budget doesn't necessarily equal quality - creativity, charm, and willingness, on the other hand, does.

Written by Charles B. Griffith, "The Little Shop of Horrors" is a very witty and funny film indeed. Upon release, it didn't have too much of an impact, but over the years grew a cult following - and spawned a stage production, another movie, and even a little animated TV series.

This man-eating plant certainly has left its mark on pop culture. "The Little Shop of Horrors" features Jack Nicholson in an early role.

Ein frueher, fantastischer Hitchcock. Spannend und witzig.
