This special limited edition 3-disc 4K UHD/2 x Blu-ray set comes with a spot gloss hard slipcase + slipcover combo (designed by Steak Mtn. & Johnny Ryan), includes a 40-page perfect bound book and is limited to 8,000 units. It is only available on our website and at select indie retailers. Absolutely no major retailers will be stocking them.

A fledgling film crew, led by the lovable, yet blind, director Larry Benjamin, is hard at work making - or at least trying to make - Benjamin’s latest and most ridiculous movie. But problems with a difficult cast, an inexperienced and distracted crew, special effects that don’t quite work, and more are soon upended when members of the production team begin to be murdered in increasingly strange and convoluted ways. As the rickety production grinds to a halt, and tensions and distrust flare, the mystery assailant continues to strike. Will Larry and his ragtag team of creative misfits be able to band together and unmask the monstrous force hellbent on killing off the movie's cast and crew before everyone left is reduced to piles of bloody pulp?

Acclaimed filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman’s (The Toxic Avenger) twisted take on a meta-movie, TERROR FIRMER is a splatter-fueled shock-fest-cum-murder-mystery which pushes the concept of bad taste to its wildest and most creative extremes, as only Troma can do. Featuring an ensemble cast of Troma alums including Will Keenan (Tromeo and Juliet), Trent Haaga (Tales of Halloween), legendary "Scream Queen" Debbie Rochon (Tromeo and Juliet), Joe Fleishaker (Troma's War), along with guest appearances from esteemed filmmakers Eli Roth (Hostel), Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2), Matt Stone & Trey Parker (South Park) and Lemmy Killmister (of the band Motörhead) as himself, this wildly over-the-top ode to independent filmmaking at last comes to UHD from Vinegar Syndrome, newly restored in 4K from its 35mm original camera negative and heaped with extensive new and archival extras.

Reviews

Rule #1: Make a Good Movie

"Troma sure knows their audience, don't they folks? This 4k release of a troma-sterpiece packs in the fun with an excellent transfer and more extra features than you can shake a deformed severed dingaling at! Comes with a handsome slipcover and case, and booklet!"

Steven M. (5/5)

One of Troma’s best!

"I’ve always been a huge Troma fan, and Terror Firmer is one of my favorites. It goes really well with Tromeo and Juliet. The visual quality is amazing on this release and the packaging is gorgeous. Vinegar Syndrome continues to knock it out of the park with their Troma releases."

I hate cinema

"This is the exact kind of Lloyd Kaufman effort that I can get behind, crude and disgusting."

Teun H. (5/5)

Man does this release looks

"Man does this release looks so cool, but i will say this is one nasty flick but its like a party the whole way through and a great tribute to troma as whole."

Will S. (5/5)

Terror Firmer

"God this is so hard to decipher, I sincerely think Kaufman gives absolutely no shits about anything and this is just so. Different and self aware in the best and worst ways possible and the first half of the movie is ehhh okay but the ending??? Wild ride Great Troma release in deluxe hard box packaging"

Spenser Y. (5/5)

Fun !

"One of Kaufman's finest works. The restoration looks great and the extras included in this edition are worth the price of admission alone . . ."

Daniel B. (4/5)

Great restoration!

"Great release by VS. One of the wildest movies I've ever seen. This is peak Troma! The art and packaging is awesome. Some great special features on there too."

Pickles Jerry, Pickles.

"Talk about a fantastic time, this movie is peak Troma and all out some of its finest work. VS did a great job with the transfer, and this movie looks and sounds just phenomenal in 4K. Amazing Grace in the opening is one of the best sound choices possible, and with the upgrades, the audio across the board is just top notch. If you come into this with no expectations, that is the best, cause it goes directions you will never plan on it going!"

Brian F. (5/5)

Great!

"Love the cover art I n this one. The transfer is great 10/10"

Missael L. (5/5)

Crazy movie

"This film is bonkers. Gore, sex, drama, gender politics. It’s a movie production within a movie production. Not sure if it’s smart or stupid. Maybe both. It’s troma after all. Had a good time, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The opening has a fetus ripped out of a lady, and it only gets crazier from there. I will say, everyone in the film bought in on the project. So it feels genuine and moves along at a steady clip. Have fun. It’s clear the people making it did."
