Fantastic Fest 2023: The Toxic Avenger — A Rip-Roaring Reboot That Nails The Troma Vibe

September 25, 2023 / Aaron Haughton

Fantastic Fest kicks off this year’s festival with the world premiere of Macon Blair’s The Toxic Avenger. This is a studio reimagining of the 1984 Troma cult classic that is totally true to its vibe but also moves in its own direction. The film is a great homage with a fresh twist that’s wonderfully wacky, extremely gory, and absolutely hysterical. If you’re anything like us, you will be delighted to see the Toxic Avenger make his return!

Writer/director Janicza Bravo breaks through to the mainstream with her wildly entertaining sophomore feature, Zola. Based on a viral Twitter thread by Aziah "Zola" King (who also executive produced) and David Kushner’s piece in Rolling Stone, "Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted,” the film takes audiences on a darkly comedic and feverish thotyssey that captures the heart of this stranger-than-fiction tale and casts quite a spell.
