FAT SLOB EATEN BY AN ESCALATOR.......2006-09-08

This is probably the goriest and most puke used Troma movie ive seen so far besides The Toxic Avenger Part IV. One of the best scenes in Terror Firmer is when the killer Grabs the fat movie producer and eats him with the axe in the business building while he is getting sucked into the escalator! Surely the intestines and blood spilling looked like rubber balloon animals but hey, it's Troma! Im really happy I bought this film, but I did not recieve my free mini poster that claimed was inside the case. Oh well, the film is worth the false advertising. The fat naked guy running through New York and getting his head crushed by a car is a classic! Disc 2 also has the Terror Firmer video game which is tons of fun and incredibly gory. BUY it. ! Although I hear that Troma's new movie "Poultrygiest" is gonna be gorier than this?

Not Tromas best........2006-05-02

I have mixed feelings about this movie, I think it was a slight let down. The movie was filled with gross-out humor,But what can you expect from Troma. The movie is about a killer within, a Troma movie set,The killer turns out to be a sick,Demented Hermaphrodite.The film has some memorable gross-out scenes. If you are a fan of Troma by all means by this movie.

funny and stupid.......2006-03-11

best movie ever-will fufill your need for both digusting nudity as well as terrible acting.

just amazing. about as good, if not better than citizen toxie!.......2006-01-31

while terror firmer is nowhere near the excellence of the classic tromeo and juliet, it is very entertaining and gripping. also cheesy and hilarious. i recommened you dont show this film to sensitive viewers until you have built them up to this level of troma. to get someone into a troma junkie, i must say start with the first toxie and cannibal! the musical. then you can move up to tromeo and juliet and finally this monster! i really dig this new age troma crew with the likes of will keenan, ron jeremy,lemmy and the guy who plays jerry(i forget his name) and such. this is one of the three essential troma films of the new troma era. the other two being citizen toxie and tromeo and juliet.

"dont give up the fight for truly independent cinema!"

'Terror Firmer'(Troll) 2-DVD release w/many special features.......2005-04-09

As most movie fans might say after they were to walk out on the first half hour of this flick,"This is one weird-ass mother-f***in' movie!".Unless you have a rather dry or sick sense of humor,you might want to avoid 'Terror Firmer' altogether.I,myself thought it was a scream.The plot is a low-budget movie company in their attempt to make the movie 'Toxic Avenger,Part IV',when they discover the entire crew is being stalked by a sexual deviant.If you believe you've seen it all in movies,just WAIT until you see the culprit when he shows everyone how his abusive father had messed him up for life.Ugh!!After seeing this DVD,you might never want to visit a big city again.Recommended if you're bored on a weekend night.

Corman rips off Alien...AGAIN!.......2007-05-18

One thing you can say about Roger Corman: he's consistent. "Consistent" meaning his films always turn a profit (supposedly). "Consistent" also means that a viewer sitting down to a watch a Corman flick will consistently find the film in question larded with enough cheese to clog an elephant's arteries. You will see cheesy acting, cheesy special effects, and cheesy plots. Depending on the type of genre, you'll also find plenty of gory mayhem, beautiful babes, and nudity from the aforementioned beautiful babes. That's Roger Corman in a nutshell. Oh wait, I almost forgot; he's also the biggest ripoff artist in Hollywood history. Any film that has hit the big time in the last forty years invariably sees Roger Corman making a similar flick in an effort to cash in on the more successful offering. For example, when "Jaws" hit the jackpot back in the 1970s, Corman followed up with several pictures capitalizing on monsters run amok. When the car movie craze swept America in the late 1970s, Roger quickly jumped aboard by releasing films focusing on cars. "Star Wars" saw our man releasing several science fiction films strongly resembling, well, "Star Wars". That's Corman for you. Love him or leave him.

"The Terror Within" is a ripoff of "Alien," except when it isn't. Set in a post-apocalyptic future after a biological catastrophe wiped out much of the world's population, a group of scientists feverishly works to find an antidote in an underground research facility. Led by the ponderous Hal (George Kennedy), the group really believes they can save the world. The jumpsuits they wear while they lumber about the laboratory only prove this commitment. Anyway, we've got a big cast to work with here. Aside from the ponderous Hal, we meet Sue (Starr Andreeff), Linda (Terri Treas), David (Andrew Stevens), Andre (John Lafayette), Neil (Tommy Hinkley), Michael (Joseph Hardin), and John (Al Guarino). Whew! Are we seeing a movie or sitting down to watch a ballgame? I haven't seen a cast list this huge since I watched "Triumph of the Will". My notes mention another character, Karen (Yvonne Saa), but I'm pretty sure she joins the previously mentioned scientists when an event loaded with serious consequences occurs on the surface of the earth that, wouldn't you know it, happens to sit right near the facility. Isn't that how it always is in movies? Whatever needs to happen HAPPENS right there in front of you!

The lady in question surprises our little band of scientists in two significant ways. One, they find her stumbling around outside, seemingly unaffected by the aforementioned plague that's wiped out nearly everyone else. Hmmm. Two, she's running from an encounter with a gargoyle. Now that's important to note because "gargoyles," it seems, are mutant monsters created by the plague. "But I thought you said almost everyone died," you might ask. You're right. I did say that in a sense. What I actually wrote was, "...wiped out MUCH of the world's population." There were survivors, I guess, and they turned into gargoyles that hunt down the other surviving humans. You know--the one's that aren't gargoyles. Anybody else's head starting to hurt? Well, it turns out the outsider carries a baby thanks to the gargoyle's tender mercies. What happens next comes as no surprise to fans of "Alien". Yep, it's time for an exploding body cavity and a rampaging beastie using the ventilation system to creep about the laboratory killing our cast. Hijinks ensue. For that matter, so does hilarity. Call it hijinkarity. It's not all bad, though. Lots of people die in really stupid ways when the stupid monster attacks.

Where to start with the atrocity that is "The Terror Within"? I'll say Terri Treas is hot. She's a Corman regular that usually elevates any movie she appears in. She even adds a little charm to this number. Then there's George Kennedy and Andrew Stevens. Both men rate as good actors, and they do well with what they've got to work with here, but it's unintentionally hilarious to see them take this stuff so seriously. What else? Oh, I actually got a charge out of Andre and Neil, whose roles require them to play class clowns. Not that anything they say is actually funny, mind you, but rather so appallingly ridiculous that that fabled "unintentional hilarity" enters the picture again. Speaking of things that aren't supposed to be funny, take a gander at the monster. It's nice to see Corman cutting costs by farming out the special effects to a team composed of kindergartners using foam rubber and playdoh. The gargoyle/human hybrid in "The Terror Within" achieves such heights of cheesy cheesiness that I immediately had to clear my arteries with a pipe cleaner after the credits rolled. Ouch! If you like cheese like I like cheese, "The Terror Within" is for you!

The House of Corman gives "The Terror Within" a decidedly lackluster DVD release. We get a few trailers for other Corman flicks, bios on a few of the people involved in the film, and a preview for the movie. Picture and audio quality suffers; we get a full screen transfer full of speckling and washed out colors, and the audio isn't impressive when you've got a room full of speakers and almost nothing coming out of them! Surprisingly, Corman issued a sequel called, oddly enough, "The Terror Within 2" a year or so later. I haven't seen that one, not yet anyway, but it's probably not going to surpass its predecessor in quality. Having dogged on the film for four paragraphs, I must say that I actually enjoyed the movie. Yeah, most of the technical aspects tank, but it's a lot of fun to turn the old brain off and sit in front of this clunker for ninety minutes. I'll give "The Terror Within" three stars.

Another Corman Classic!..........2007-04-21

Yes, THE TERROR WITHIN is yet one more ALIEN rip-off. It's set in an underground facility in the desert instead of a ship in deep space, but the basic plot is the same: Hideous creature on the loose kills off the humans one by one. In this movie we get a belly-bursting alien birth scene (sound familiar?), a fetal alien in the air-vents, and a full grown monster (aka: a guy in a rubber suit w/ gnarly dentures) running amok. Andrew Stevens (The Fury) and George Kennedy (Naked Gun) star in this pulse-pounding epic. Well, my pulse didn't actually pound, but I did get a slight headache. Anyway, TTW is a pretty good little movie to watch on a dull day. I was modestly entertained and not once did I want to smash my TV...

Caiman doesn't have this title in stock!!!.......2006-11-07

This is a great movie from the legend Roger Corman. To all people who are looking to purchase this DVD, I must tell you that Caiman does not have this in stock. I ordered it from them one month ago and still haven't received it. When I contacted them, they said it was on backorder and then the very next day, they relisted it. So, if you really want this DVD, I wouldn't order it from them because you will never get it. Just a warning so as not to waste your time...

Halfway Decent "Alien" Knockoff.......2006-03-17

The only real drawback to this science fiction monster movie is that it is just a little too close to the classic movie "Alien." Survivors from an underground laboratory rescue a woman from the outside world after an experiment goes awry and kills most of mankind, with the exception of mutated creatures that bear some semblance to the creatures that appeared in the 1984 monster movie "C.H.U.D.," without the glowing eyeballs. It seems that the monsters in this movie also desperately needed an orthodontist.

Now that the woman is within the secure facility, the survivors learn that she is pregnant. The baby turns out to be (surprise!) a mutated creature, and it promptly munches on the hand of the lady trying to extract it. In a scene copied directly from "Alien," the critter looks around and heads for the ventilator shafts. This movie does explicitly explain that the baby critter is growing at a phenomenal rate, and you had to guess that in "Alien."

The underground survivors, led by Hal (George Kennedy, "Airport," "Charade," the original, and better, "Flight of the Phoenix" and dozens more television and movie appearances), arm themselves with flame throwers and laser and try, vainly, to track the creature down and kill it. This creature has a marvelous ability to heal itself even after being burned, hacked and beaten, so it is very difficult to kill.

In spite of the seemingly direct copying of the essential elements of "Alien," including the level by level searching for the creature, the flamethrowers, and the use of the ventilation shafts by the creature, this movie is a good watch. The appearances of the creature were predictable, but the creature was nicely done. The movie refuses to allow its low budget prevent it from being an entertaining movie. Essentially, this movie tried hard to be enjoyable.

There is a lot of blood in this movie. Blood tends to squirt and gush quite frequently, so this movie is absolutely not for children. The monster costume was nicely done too; again not for children. However, adults who like bloody monster movies and are willing to forgive a blatant rip-off of "Alien" may find this gory monster movie to be entertaining. I know I did. Enjoy!

The Originality Lacking Within .......2005-07-19

This movie is a direct cross of Alien and The Beast Within. Alien, a great Sci-Fi flick, had the birth and rapid growing which was poorly repeated in this flick. The Beast Within (notice the title similarity), which was a decent horror movie for it time, has the same theme of a monster trying to mate with every woman it comes across. They took two good movies and made one pretty bad one. The low budget definitely didn't help. The "Gargoyle" reminded me of Godzilla. A rubbery suit that was too big for the guy wearing it. Water, or some sort of goo/liquid sprayed on the suit would have helped - looked too dry. I will give it 1 star for gore though.

This DVD video is MISDIRECTION FROM TRUTH.......2005-04-22

I cannot recommend throwing your money away on this misleading DVD. It does not in any way discuss the facts about the evidence from the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. It is simply a bunch of interesting information about some extremists living in Arkansas who hate the government. It offers zero proof of evidence to support the story we were told on TV about how the building was brought down. It is not even close to presenting the evidence about who demolished the building. It offers no information about the other bombs that were found within the building. It offers no information about the death of police officer Terrance Yeakey. It offers no information about how a truck bomb can take down a building of this size. A demonstration of the same type of truck bomb blowing up in the middle of the desert is hardly proof of what it can do to a building. Massive fire ball explosions do not equate to forces great enough to destroy the framing of a steel constructed building. As awesome as they are used in Hollywood movies, they are not as powerful as they appear. If you would like to see a more truthful approach to this horrible mass murder of innocent lives, get a DVD titled "Cover-up In Oklahoma". Better yet do a research on General Partin, Jane C. Graham, & Terrance Yeakey. Then maybe you will understand why there are these extremists who hate the government. Though I cannot agree with their hatred toward the government or anyone who is not white, I do understand their historical reasons for hating the government.
