Heavy Mental So Bad It's Almost Good

Oh Troma, how I have missed you. You have to go into any Troma film with a certain mindset: most are low-budget, with no one you've ever heard of, which mean you're not going to get anything close to award-winning acting or editing or anything else.
But Troma supplies a very important niche in the movie industry: it's one of the last bastions of good bad movies. It keeps the grindhouse spirit alive by providing plenty of over-the-top violence, a bit of titillation and outlandish stories. Sure, the dialogue may be stiff or forced and the blood may be a bit too red the sound effects intentionally hilarious - but in the end, if you're watching a Troma film, you want to be entertained, not necessarily impressed.
Which brings me to Heavy Mental. This was actually the first Troma film …
