After watching "My Bloody Banjo", and seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff leading up to the festival run of "Eating Miss Campbell" in clips on Twitter and Facebook, I kind of went into this presuming that Director Liam Regan's follow up film would already be fun and great... but what he delivered was more than I could have ever expected.
Eating Miss Campbell has great writing with a lot of callbacks to My Bloody Banjo, almost feeling like we're on the cusp of a "Reganverse" or a "Tromaverse" the way Kevin Smith does his new jersey lore in movies. It's beautifully shot, the story made sense in sequentially, the characters were very animated and engaging, the acting was brilliant, so many laughs, the gore looked great, the soundtrack was killer (I loved the Dylan Mars Greenberg song and second credits song), I can't say enough good things about this film.
As a longtime fan of TROMA, this movie spoke to me with in-jokes and homages, but also caught casual audiences off guard with huge belly laughs from its current event topical humor and over the top gore effects, and hilarious dialogue!
"Eating Miss Campbell" by Liam Regan is a hilarious dark comedy the way it should be done. I can't wait until I own a personal copy to dissect and devour!
It is another love letter from Liam to Troma that we all should read...or watch.
