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!

With a badass protagonist and some entertaining thrills, the film marks the closest the franchise has ever come to capture the glory of the original.
