Eating Miss Campbell

Silly, fun and gory, what more could you want? Eating Miss Campbell is a great satire and dark humour horror about a vegan goth turned cannibal. Recommend if you love a bit of splatter and dark humour.

This film will have its haters and lovers. I fall into the latter. Lyndsey Caine puts in a great tongue-in-cheek performance as Beth, a vegan goth turned cannibal. The laughs are dark and gore is red and in your face.

Lara Barlow as the titular Miss Campbell is a (without giving anything away) a great protagonist. The support cast are equally fully involved in the movie and give a bold performance (especially the Mr Sawyer character).

On the whole, this is the type of movie that you can stick on, grab a beer and have fun watching. Maybe even gets some BBQ in.

I grew up with classics like toxic avenger, tromeo and juliet, Nuke Em High... It has been a while since a watched a new Troma release and I was a little worried. Troma movies felt to me as something from the past, difficult to rhyme with the present day. But I glad to say I was wrong. While not a perfect film, director Liam Regan has managed to make a movie that made me realise again why I love Troma productions. It not only feels like a Troma movie in heart and soul, but it also feels fresh. It has all of the edge, goofs and gore you'd expect from a Troma flick, but it also has heart and charm. It made me laugh multiple times, which is rare, even for a comedy. It's not for everyone, but if you are up for a silly, weird, but good time. Crack open a beer, invite some friends and have a bloody good time.

Eating Miss Campbell is not only a fantastic follow up to 2015's My Bloody Banjo, but is also a great introduction to anyone who still hasn't discovered the works of Liam Regan. Taking the film making knowledge that he learned from his multiple years with "Troma Entertainment", this film is just more proof of his skill and talent! Returning fellow Troma alumni veteran, Vito Trigo is the cherry on top of this bloody tale of just deserts! The entire cast shines, quite well on their own as well. Loaded with Easter Eggs, & various nods to pop culture as well as social commentary, this film is a witty blend of 4th wall breaks, & insightful intellect. In a world of remakes, and carbon copy clone cinema, he future of the genre is in good hands!

I had high hopes for this film with Starburst Magazine saying it was a must watch but I don't know what glue they were smelling. This film is the second attempt at a feature film by Liam Regan but this is a dire attempt at a film. This being a Troma film you would expect a certain level of humour and flavour which you get with Troma films but this has chucked that out of the window for a more insulting sarcastic sense of humour. The story is about a vegan girl who keeps trying to kill herself and at the same time the school she attends has mass school shootings, this comes across in poor taste and I did notice some people actually leave the cinema I saw this at in disgust. The other big issue with this film is every frame it seems to force feed the audience with another Easter egg from a better film or tv series. I only give it 2 stars out of 10 for good costumes, makeup, Troma founder Lloyd Kaufman and Laurence R Harvey.

This is a very well executed Troma style movie shot in the UK. The cast give some great performances and the SFX are worthy of the genre. The Director clearly has had fun with this and no topic is off limits. Some great jokes about High Schools, Horror movies and American culture. Charlie Bond, James Hame Morton, Bella Rich and Dani Thomson are great. Lawrence Harvey gives a great cameo performance too. This is destined to be a cult classic. Topics such as High School shootings, Cancel Culture get a good going over. This is more sophisticated than your usual horror film. The gore levels are fantastic too.
