Subversive to the nth degree, Troma Entertainment has made a name for itself by gleefully exposing filmgoers to all manner of gory, lewd and, above all, silly merriment since 1974, and the company has carried on with reckless – some would even say tasteless – abandon throughout the subsequent decades to cement its status as the forerunner in shlocktastic offerings that shock the masses and delight the company’s loyal followers.

2023?

Was made then, screened, and never widely released.

Then why did it take so long to release after announcing it just a few months ago?

They couldn’t find anyone who wanted to release it. This article from 2024 quotes a producer who says it’s “unreleasable” because of how violent it is, and it would probably go straight to VOD.

Obviously it wasn’t unreleasable, but it seems clear they couldn’t find a distributor for a while.
