Watchlist:
A gang of thugs devise a cruel hoax that goes horribly wrong as Melvin, a nerdy emaciated janitor at the local health club, is cast through a third story window into a vat of hazardous toxic waste.
Why you might like this:
Fans of delightfully absurd, over-the-top genre mashups will adore The Toxic Avenger, the 1984 cult classic directed by Lloyd Kaufman. This wild ride blends uproarious comedy, gory horror, and sci-fi elements, centered around the transformation of a hapless janitor into a mutant hero seeking revenge. Andree Maranda's standout performance as the title character is both hilariously campy and surprisingly poignant.
