The Toxic Avenger

When timid janitor Melvin falls into a vat of toxic waste, he transforms into the Toxic Avenger – a fearless protector of the defenceless. A classic outsider-turned-hero tale, wrapped in gloriously outrageous B-movie form.

Ready for a truly perverse cinematic experience? The Toxic Avenger (1984) is a cult treat for fans of genuine horror B-movies, where spilled guts and severed limbs are more amusing than horrifying. Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz’s legendary creation tells the story of shy cleaner Melvin (Mitch Cohen), who, after his toxic mishap, mutates into a powerful avenger – battling mobsters and criminals while defending the helpless citizens of the fictional Tromaville. Forget the 2023 remake and revel in the original version of this deliriously unhinged gem.
