Troma Entertainment recently send the horror chamber information about the New York premiere of their latest film "Hectic Knife". The film stars Peter Litvin and J.J. Brine.  The screening will also serve as a pre-party fundraiser event for Tromadance which takes place on July 29th and 30th.

The film will be making its world premiere on the rooftop of  Our Wicked Lady in Brooklyn, NY on July 28th.   Screening time is 8pm.

Press Release:

Ladies of the Night agree that the "Hectic" keeps the scumbag sick perverts that lurk the dark alleys of a crime stricken city at bay, at least for now! Finally a vigilante with some street-credit and a psychological paradox that doesn't involve bourgeois baggage and Daddy-issues! Troma Entertainment has acquired "Hectic Knife", an action-horror-comedy film directed by Greg DeLiso. The new acquisition will be celebrated this month with a New YorkCity Premiere Brooklyn rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady at 8:00 PM on July 28th, 2016 as a pre-party fundraising event for TromaDance, the companies Film Festival which runs the weekend of July 29th and 30th. it was announced today by Lloyd Kaufman, prexy of Troma Entertainment and creator of The Toxic Avenger.

DeLiso cites Troma Entertainment as an early influence and inspiration in his pursuit of filmmaking;

"Of all the self help, directing 101, learn how to talk to actors nonsense out there, the only real nugget of truth comes from Lloyd Kaufman: Make Your Own Damn Movie. That's the most important thing. But, for me the next most important thing is working with a distribution company like Troma that understands that the best thing for a movie is for people to see it! Viva la Troma! -- the only company out there that understands movies and movie makers!"

DeLiso's movie portrays a down and out crime-fighting, knife-wielding vigilante hero (character, "Hectic Knife", played by Peter Litvin), who faces a life-changing disruption when a new super villain, the evil "Piggly Doctor" (played by J.J. Brine), arrives in town. .

Will Hectic be able to find the chosen technology in time to save the entire world!?

Some of the answers to these questions, plus tons of blood, babes and bagels (?!) populate this insane and graphic pulp comedy/slasher!

The carefully crafted retro feel to Hectic Knife is a reverential nod to cinematic symbolism, and film archetypes are referenced throughout the course of the movie. Characters experience inexplicable flashbacks, imagery like a lone tear traveling down the withered hero's cheek and Mighty Aphrodite -esque hookers with a heart of gold weave together to tell Hectic's story.

This bizarre and hilarious, genre-bending comedy is a modern marvel of movie-making from the school of Tromatic Tradition!

The rooftop screening at Our Wicked Lady on July 28th will be attended by director Greg DeLiso along with a Q & A after the film. The event is a pre-party fundraiser for The 17th Annual TromaDance, Troma Entertainment's free to submit, free to attend celebrated Film Festival that includes both short and feature length movies from international independent filmmakers that is followed by a World Famous afterparty, also free to guests!

The rough cut of the film will screen on July 24, at The Paper Box Theater in Brooklyn, NY as part of the Tromadance Film Festival.

Press Release:

Greetings from Tromaville! Return to Nuke 'Em High: Volume 2 will play at the 16th Annual TromaDance Film Festival, July 24, at The Paper Box Theater in Brooklyn, NY.

Last week, Fangoria Magazine revealed exclusively that a screening of a work-in-progress cut of the much-awaited Return to Nuke 'Em High: Volume 2 will take place at The 16th Annual Tromadance Film Festival. Friday, July 24th, is the day the TromaDance Selection Committee has chosen to screen the explosive rough cut finale of Lloyd Kaufman's amazing two-part indie event film.

The focus group will ask the audience to help edit the film by answering a written questionnaire. So this should be an interesting event/exercise.

Return to Nuke 'Em High: Volume 2 is the continuation and conclusion of the inspiring adventure of Lauren and Chrissy, two teenage lesbian lovers who must face the most corrupt violent, perverted, corrupt and evil forces ever to descend upon Tromaville... and the world! A film that deals with Bullying, LGBTQ rights and Evil Food Conglomerates among other existential threats forces present in modern society.

In an exclusive with Fangoria, Lloyd Kaufman, President of Troma and creator of the Toxic Avenger, asserted "We've got almost a fine cut, but it's not color corrected and not all the After Effects are done yet. But it will be good to screen it to an audience who specializes in genre film, give out some questionnaires and get some answers from them about what works and doesn't work. I think this screening will be extremely amazing for the public, and the interactive fans who come to Tromadance like to be a part of the event. i think it's going to be a good experience for us and our fans."

The 2015 edition of TromaDance will be held in The Paper Box Theater on July 24th and 25th. As always Tromadance is completely FREE. Submission fee FREE. Admission FREE. Red carpet FREE. The only film festival from the people, of the people and by the people. Give art back to the people.
