Featured review
The miracle of life
A female bodybuilder Marianne (Pascal Maetens) gives birth in the gym to a living placenta and decides to raise it as a human, a christian, and a soldier.
The placenta named Luke grows up into a teenager and attends a normal high school where he falls in love with one of his classmates, but when his date does not go as planned Luke finds himself on an emotional downward spiral that leads to a killing spree. I think that Troma are the only people to still make real grindhouse and this Belgium zero budget sleaze-fest is easily one of the weirdest titles Troma has released in recent years. Utterly crazy and not always coherent the film proudly lacks good taste on every level.
