Eating Miss Campbell

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.

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.

Life is like a box of chocolates, sometimes you never know just what you're gonna get. But with Liam, unashamedly Troma, means that you could cut Miss Campbell in half and you'd find Henlotter written all the way through.

Possibly this is a bit of a marmite film - haters gonna hate, lovers gonna love, and finger food may take on a whole new meaning.

For those who think Banjo / My Bloody Banjo could never be beaten, you are going to want to watch Eating Miss Campbell. For those who like their cannablism served with the sauce of real tears, well you may find this comedy horror not quite to your taste.

A good looking movie, filmed well, with attention to detail, and some cool performances in it. Suck it and see.

Right, well when I sat down to watch this 2022 horror comedy titled "Eating Miss Campbell", from writer and director Liam Regan, I didn't know that it was a Troma movie. And had I known that, I might actually have skipped on the movie entirely.

Luckily I didn't know that it was a Troma movie before I had sat down and started the movie. Thus, as the movie was already playing, I opted to give writer and director Liam Regan the benefit of the doubt. And luckily so, because "Eating Miss Campbell" was actually the best of Troma movies I have stumbled upon, not only in writing and story contents, but most certainly also in production value and most likely thus also in budget. This was actually a proper movie whereas the other Troma projects feel like home video projects.

The storyline in "Eating Miss Campbell", as written by Liam Regan, was strange and bizarre, but in an oddly dark, twisted and entertaining manner. There are just so many really far out there things taking place throughout the 84 minutes that the movie ran for. I enjoyed it and was genuinely entertained by the contents delivered by Liam Regan. However, I think that a movie such as "Eating Miss Campbell" is somewhat of a rather acquired taste and it is not one that will easily cater to everyone in the audience.

The only two performers on the cast list that I was familiar with were Laurence R. Harvey and Lloyd Kaufman himself. However, leading actress Lyndsey Craine really carried the movie quite nicely with her performance as Beth Conner.

Visually then I will say that the effects in the movie were quite good. A fair amount of visceral graphic effects, which I definitely enjoyed.

My rating of "Eating Miss Campbell" lands on a six out of ten stars.

EATING MISS CAMPBELL

(Read the following in Trey Parker's voice)

Reattach that Banjo String! Liam Regan's gluttonous "sequel" to My Bloody Banjo, Eating Miss Campbell; is an intellectually crafted blood soaked 'black comedy' that mordaciously blends all that we love and hate about cliché horror comedies! And thank GAWD for that!

Liam Regan's 'Whoopsie F-in' Daisies' are in full bloom with outstanding and stellar performances from the entire cast! Lyndsey Craine and Lala Barlow shine; gothically, and fully embody the insanely clever and campy Beth Connor & Miss Campbell. Charlie Bond, Emily Haigh, Michaela Longden invoke the sins of '80s movies past' as the Heathers!! Did ya hear that gun shot?! Oh, just another school shooting.

Any rate, of course there's a Lloyd Kaufman cameo! Laurence R. Harvey is a scene stealer and Vito Trigo as the return of Mr. Sawyer adds another layer to the ever evolving mystique that is; WHOOPSIE F-in DAISEY! With James Hamer-Morton and Dani Thompson returning as well, one could say this is Liam Regan's "James Gunn Crew." Justin A. Martell and Annabella Rich are over the top, in all the right ways; as Tusk Everbone and Nancy Applegate.

Eli Roth! James Gunn! Trey Parker and Matt Stone! And now; Liam Regan! Unapologetically offensive with a social message; Eating Miss Campbell is...Bang Bang!
