The long-awaited reboot of the 1984 Troma cult classic, and the fifth instalment in the series that also spawned a hit rock musical, arrives at last! Set in an alternate fantasy world, Macon Blair’s bonkers and bloody sick superhero adventure follows down-trodden janitor Winston Gooze (‘Game of Thrones’ star Peter Dinklage) who, after a freak, catastrophic accident, transforms into a mutant vigilante known as Toxie. Armed with his mop, the unlikely hero battles geeks, freaks, gangsters, ruthless overlords and corrupt corporations while trying to save the strained relationship with his son and the embattled community at large.
