Plot: Based on a graphic novel, King of Killers follows former Agency hitman Marcus Garan as he attempts to unravel the mystery behind a tragic incident. When offered a $10 million contract to eliminate the world’s greatest assassin, Marcus travels to Tokyo to meet the client, but discovers other professional killers have been invited as well. Now Marcus and the others must confront this deadly, mythical assassin…or die trying.
Review: Action movies are a dime a dozen, with only a select few getting the financial backing to get on the radar of most audiences. For every John Wick and Mission: Impossible, countless other projects are cobbled together for a fraction of the money allotted to the big franchises. Despite a cast that includes genre mainstays like Frank Grillo, Alain Moussi, and Stephen Dorff, King of Killers is an atrociously bad attempt to not only play with the big boys...

Father’S Day
Stars: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Garrett Hnatiuk, Brent Neale, Kevin Anderson, Meredith Sweeney, Zsuzsi | Written and Directed by Astron-6 (aka Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, Steven Kostanski, Conor Sweeney)
For people who remember older Troma movies like The Toxic Avenger they will remember that they were pretty gory. Kids were run over then got their heads squashed under car wheels, hell the violence and gore was at a high level, but the most important thing was they had a sense of humour. A lot of horror films don’t go for that sense of humour now, some may say we have lost that element of horror that we just aim for the gore and forget what fun horror can be. In ways that is true, but then came Father’s Day.

There are a lot of fathers who birthed Father’s Day, the first collaboration between U.S. exploitation production company/distributor Troma Entertainment and Canadian filmmaking collective Astron-6, of which there are five members: Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Conor Sweeney, Matt Kennedy and Steven Kostanski. And, yes, Lloyd Kaufman makes an amusing cameo in the film.
Overall, it’s a good marriage as Astron-6 knows precisely what to deliver to keep Troma audiences happy: Over-the-top gore, maniacal and non-sensical plot twists, bad jokes, lots of naked women and, especially, extreme mutilation of male genitals. One particular extended scene of self-mutilation of one character’s organ towards the end of the film crosses over from being a quick, gross-out gag to a “We dare you to watch this through to the end” act of visual sadism towards the audience.
All of the Astron-6 members pull down double, triple and sometimes quadruple...

I do not like Troma films. By most people's accounts this makes me a very bad horror fan. It's not my fault if I don't like watching movies that make me feel like I smell like a butt hole okay? Also, I just don't understand why anyone would want to smell like a butt hole Or why anyone would want to sit through an hour and a half of a movie that makes you feel like both vomiting and dying.
Before everyone starts getting all angry and posting mean comments on this review, I would like to remind you that I unlike say--Hitler---am capable of trying to understand someones point of view even if I do not agree with it myself. That is to say, I will still give Father's Day the honor of getting a fair review.
