Did You Say "Exploding Heads?"
I actually purchased THE TAINT before the film was signed over to Troma, snagged it for $5 and I would have easily paid twice that after seeing it. When this release was announced on Troma, I immediately put in my pre-order. I had to order the Blu-ray for this hilarious little indie production. Sure, I own 3 copies of this film now...it's just that fun.
THE TAINT is gory, offensive and laugh-out-loud funny. If your idea of entertainment is crude jokes, rubber genitals, exploding heads (see rubber genitals), more exploding heads, an amazing '80's style work-out montage, a wild face-ripping and an insane concept matched only by BLACK DYNAMITE's. Everything about this film is fun, from the gorgeous artwork to the impressive original synth score. This is what GOOD indie genre cinema is all about.
The Taint
The Taint is an independent film from Richmond Virginia made by Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson and some of their friends and other actors. It's a hilarious horror comedy about a penis enlarger medicine that gets released into the water system. And if a male drinks the water he turns into a misogynistic maniac trying to murder as many women as he can. One man Phil O Genny Hasn't yet drank the water and is the only one who has a chance of surviving the terrible condition of becoming a raging misogynistic person. This is an amazing cult feature with allot of funny scenes and allot of great gore and I'm glad Troma bought it . It is one of my favorite movies of all time and it's a great horror movie.
The Taint
In recent years, the trend of grindhouse revivalism has spread like wildfire throughout the fringes of the film industry. It seems like, since the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez anthology film "Grindhouse" brought the term, and the style, back into view, contemporary takes on the cheesy, over-the-top spectacle of the midnite-movie fare of the 1970s and 80s have begun popping up with an increased frequency. This new crop of grindhouse features differs from the old guard--low-budget limitations have been augmented by a deliberate tongue-in-cheek attitude, a knowing irony that deconstructs the style as it lovingly pays homage. Sometimes, this knowing irony falls flat, becoming too self-aware and too self-referential to be funny--but in the best cases, it only improves the film in question, adding a deep dimension of comedy to the surface, creating greater capacity for laughs and spectacle than even the heights of the style's original peak period.
